Motocross to NASCAR

Sunday, 26 August 2007 05:05

Motocross Legend Ricky Carmichael is taking on a new direction in racing.  He is trying out his skills against the four wheeled set at Orlando Speed World in Bithlo.

As he approaches 30, Carmichael has decided to pass the motocross reigns to some of the younger riders and make a career move with hopes to get onto the NASCAR set.

He has been taken under the wing of veteran NASCAR driver, Mark Martin and will be driving for Ginn Racing.  Carmichael admits he has a lot to learn, but looks forward to the new challenge.
