Carson Brown, the undefeated pit bike star from Washington, kept his streak alive Saturday night at the Monster Energy Master of the Pit in Butler, Pa., at Switchback MX.
The inaugural event was streamed globally on FITE, the streaming combat sports and motorsports platform, where Brown finished third in the first race, and won the second and third Main Events, giving him the overall win. The win solidifies Brown’s position as the King of Pit Bikes.
For the first-time ever, racers had the opportunity to qualify to race against Ryan Villopoto, Willy Browning and Brown. Villopoto is a nine-time AMA Motocross and Supercross Champion. Browning is a member of the winning 2018 Pit Bike of Nations team and is one of the most accomplished pit bike racers ever.
Throughout the day, competitors had the opportunity to qualify for the seven open spots to race against these legends in the three Main Events. In the first race, Caleb Carter shocked the world when he led the race from wire to wire as he took advantage of Carson Brown’s miscue when he crashed while charging through the pack.
“This was an amazing event, and I want to thank everyone at FITE and Switchback MX for bringing this to life in an unprecedented way,” said Brown. “I was really impressed by the local competition in this region of the country. I think this is something that will continue to grow as the resurgence of the pit bike world rolls on.”
