What's up guys? Welcome back to another episode of our Whiskey Throttle Media Amateur

Spotlight series. I'm your host, Brent Bowser. We're here today with Mark Finnis. What's up,

Mark? How are you, man? I'm pretty good. Yeah, just, just have some dinner in full.

Right on. We talked before I hit record about the correct pronunciation of your name.

So for the record, if you want to set it straight, how do you pronounce your last name?

It's a, it's finis, not finiest, not finis, not finis, finis, then it's.

Well, perfect.

Hopefully that'll help everybody moving forward to pronounce your name correctly.

What is your motocross story? How did you get started? And when did you get started racing?

Oh, geez. Well, before I did beer bikes. I did go-karts for five years. I was really good at that.

I won a bunch of championships.

But got bored with that. And my dad brought me to my first dirt bike race. I didn't actually

race. We showed up at a track about 45 minutes from the house. And he said it was like,

all right, do you want to race go- race go cars or do you want to race dirt bikes

that was that's how we got into and he he raced when he was he was a kid and he's mechaniced

and done all of this things on his own growing up and yeah that's that's kind of how we got into it we weren't

too serious about it we only got serious about it and like on my third year of racing that's when we

showed up my first training facility was here at club of max in 2016 thinking back about it do you wish you're still during that or are you glad you made the

switch to motorcross?

Yeah, you know, I think about that, Alias.

Like, if I would have stuck with go karting, what I have gone like with like IndyCar, NASCAR,

NASCAR, F1, I could have done quite a few things.
