Richard Gadson is working on wrapping up his second straight NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle world championship in only his third season. It’s been a crazy – and challenging - ride since he arrived on the scene, and we’re digging into that. We start by Gadson explain how he has a job with Vance & Hines during the week; the value of knowing the details of what he’s riding; being able to further explain what he is feeling or should be tuned; the experience of being an NHRA champion this season and trying for the repeat; trying to close out the title after having led the points all year long; the quickness of success during the last three seasons; explaining how hard and unenjoyable the ’24 season was; the chip on his shoulder, where it comes from, and knowing what’s said about him; the moment it all clicked in ’25; any difference to the mindset now with a title under his belt; the family history in racing and the impact of his father’s death; the influence of his uncle; filming motorcycle riders when he was younger to learn from; coming from a background in grudge racing; the adjustment to riding a pro stock motorcycle; the competitiveness within the class and its relationships; how close Richard and Gaige Herrera work together as teammates; having involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters; the full circle moment having been in the group when younger; the impact of getting young folks to the racetrack; looking at the final three races of the season.
