We’ve said many times before that, in the metaphor that the fans are the fuel that runs MotoAmerica, the MotoAmerica VIP Superfans are the highest octane fuel available that powers our continually growing race series.

The passion and generosity of our VIP Superfans is virtually boundless, and Brett Nesbit is among the most passionate and most generous of the group.

Not only do Brett and his wife Renee attend several MotoAmerica rounds each year as VIP Superfans, but they are always very complimentary of the Experience we provide. Brett is not only a Certified Public Accountant, but he also manages and administers a charitable fund that was created by his very good friend, the late Robert F. Beard.

As part of Brett’s work to disburse the fund per the wishes of Mr. Beard, he donated money to two very worthwhile causes that MotoAmerica also promotes and supports.

Brett was not at the recent Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta round, but his and Mr. Beard’s impact there was definitely felt. Two special guests were invited to the Podium Club at Road Atlanta.

Ronnie Jones, a founding member of the Rookies of ’79 Charity, is also a member of the board of directors for Back On Track, a non-profit 501(c)(3) program created to provide financial assistance for injured motorcycle racers and their families when a racing injury/accident occurs.

John Ulrich, owner of Team Hammer and publisher of Roadracing World, is also the founder of the Roadracing World Action Fund, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that promotes motorcycle racing safety, and in particular, encourages and facilitates the use of soft barriers (safety systems from Airfence® and Alpina®, specifically) at motorcycle racing events, including all MotoAmerica races.

Both Ronnie and John received checks for $10,000 each towards their charitable organizations, thanks to Brett Nesbit and the Robert F. Beard Charitable Foundation. All of us at MotoAmerica are so grateful to Brett Nesbit and also to the late Robert F. Beard. Ronnie and John were, of course, very appreciative of the donations, and the VIP Superfans at Road Atlanta enjoyed being part of the presentation of the checks to Ronnie and John, as well.
