Bubba takes his leadership seriously and works hard to ensure the staff and riders are appropriately supported. Bubba has an impressive fan base and is often seen going out of his way to greet fans on race day. in addition to these notable characteristics, Bubba also serves as a USMCA (US Motorcycle Coaching Association) certified instructor where he specializes in training youth and adults on dirtbike technique.
Bubba has shown tremendous growth as a leader and athlete. He has qualified for numerous 450SX main events (2017, 2018, 2019), finished 2nd in the PulpMX Privateer Challenge in 2020 and 1st in 2022.

The MaddParts.com Kawasaki team will make their entrance into the 2024 season with a commitment to run all 31 rounds of the SuperMotocross World Championship with the newly appointed #22 of Freddie Norén. The team is excited to welcome back Norén after a very successful 2023 season that saw the Swedish native capture a career best 8th in the Motocross Championship, 21st in the Supercross Championship, and 11th in the SuperMotocross World Championship.
The 2023 accomplishments don’t stop there for Norén, as he clinched a career best 7th overall at the Red Bud National and was the only 450 premier class rider to race in all 31 rounds of the SuperMotocross Championship. The stellar season also moved Norén into the 6th all-time premier class Pro Motocross starts (120), just behind Kyle Lewis, Mike LaRocco, and John Dowd. A big thank you for these impressive stats that were supplied by Fowlers Facts.
The MaddParts.com, Galaxy Cloaking Kawasaki team has continued an organic path of growth over its 260 entries in the Supercross and Pro Motocross series to become a competitive force against the Goliath factory teams. In 2023 the team was able to make huge strides forward, finishing an impressive 5th in the final round of the 450 SuperMotocross Championship (Colt Nichols), win a 450 LCQ (Norén), and have four (4) supported 450 riders finish inside the top 35 in the Supercross Championship.
