The Georgia/Florida line is a hotbed for supercross talent,
and the seventeen-minute commute from Thomasville, GA, to Cairo, GA, meant that growing up at the renowned Millsaps Training Facility (MTF) only made sense for Joey Savatgy. The Georgian racer has been in the mix atop the sport since his debut in 2013, notching a collection of race wins along with a string of top five finishes in the 450cc Class. Savatgy will line up for the Rick Ware Racing squad in the World Supercross Championship, welcoming the NASCAR based operation back to the sport of two wheels.
