Nate Thrasher joins us on the Whiskey Throttle Show! We dive into his career with Star Racing Yamaha, his big move to Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, the highs and lows of racing, and what the future holds as he prepares for the 2027 Supercross season. You don’t want to miss this one!

In this series, we highlight the privateers — the riders grinding it out without factory backing. They’re building their own programs, growing their brands, and working their way into the sport’s top ranks. In Episode 17, host Brent Bowser sits down with Derek Kelley to talk about his 2026 season racing as a privateer with MX 6 Kawasaki and the path that ultimately led to a factory opportunity. After putting in the work as a privateer, Derek has signed a two-year deal with Beta USA and is officially making the jump to a factory team. He also talks about his season, the new opportunity, and what he’s looking forward to over the next two years.
