Austin Forkner of rural Richards competed for Monster Energy Kawasaki at the AMA Thor Spring Classic in Pell City, Alabama recently.
Forkner earned three motocross championships aboard his KX85 and won six total motos, earning him the "Best of the Best" award.
"Consistency was really important in the three-moto format," said Forkner. "The track changed a lot over the week from muddy to rough and rutted, but it made for fun racing. After my sixth place finish in the first Jr. Mini moto, I was going to just use that class as track time, but I was able to win the next two motos and came out with a third championship."
Austin is the son of Mike and Julie Forkner.
