Riding for life in the High Plains Grand Prix Circuit
Moto racer Alex Mercado of Wellman, husband and father of three, competes in the High Plains Grand Prix Circuit across the South Plains and eastern New Mexico. The 40-year-old finished third in the 30-Over Division after a 10 month season August to June. He races with family support, has endured crashes and injuries, and has started motocross at Jake's 211 Track in New Home, learning quick repairs with Honda help. He plans to continue racing four to five more years and notes a senior racer in his fifties as inspiration.
