Bryce Bezanson
MICRO SPRINT, LEGEND CARS
Back in early 2014, our family was introduced to the wonderful world of quarter midget racing. It’s a nationwide sport but we found it right here in our area (Monroe, WA), and it is for children ages 5-16. After years of trying different sports and activities for Bryce, we finally found his home. Racing is something he seems born to do and loves. It has been an incredible journey for him. He has been able to grow in his personal confidence, while learning valuable lessons on sportsmanship, handling adversity and self-discipline.
