In 2019, it was Bryce Ford’s world and we were just living in it. The 17-year-old was all the buzz in the ATV racing world when he seamlessly transitioned from dominating the youth ranks of national ATV motocross, to dominating the highest level of amateur competition in the sport. Bryce didn’t just win, he left no doubt who the fastest amateur in the sport was, by winning 11 events en route to claiming National Championships in both the Pro Am and Open Pro Sports divisions – the 11^th and 12^th national titles of his already illustrious career. Much of the buzz started last season has not settled in anticipation of Bryce’s move to the AMA ATV Pro Class in 2020. New year, new class, and new number for the youngest Ford brother who will be running the #4 as he starts his professional career. It’s sure to bring back some memories, as Bryce will be joining Mark Baldwin underneath the Baldwin Motorsports tent – much like a previous #4, legend Tim Farr, who did so 15+ years ago. Bryce Ford has the speed to race with any ATV racer on the planet, and if he can ride with poise and a level head he will compete at the front of the pack early on in his AMA ATV Pro class career. 

It had been nearly a decade since a Pro Class rookie had earned their spot on the podium of an ATV National. Insert Cody Ford, who was the first AMA ATV Pro Rookie to podium since the reigning champion Joel Hetrick did it back in 2010. The incredible top three finish against the world’s fastest ATV racers was the highlight of Cody’s season, but his consistency was on display each and every weekend earning him an impressive 9^th overall in the AMA ATV Pro Class season standings. Bryce may flash with his unique style and blistering speed, but Cody’s diligence and blue-collar hard-working nature is what makes the eldest Ford brother so tough to beat. Cody just keeps grinding and keeps grinding, all the way to strong finishes week in and week out – so his nickname “The Foreman” seems very fitting. Cody set a perfect example for his younger brother on how to successfully navigate one’s first season as a professional. He will look to keep building on all his successes of 2019 and try to keep his little brother behind him in the process. Much like Bryce, Cody will be donning a new number in 2020. Look for Cody’s fresh #5 as the gate drops on the season opener at Daytona just a few short weeks from now.
