All of us at MotoAmerica extend our most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and fans of rider Jace Hasskew, who has passed away at the age of 30.

Hasskew served for nearly five years in the U.S. Army where he was a paratrooper who achieved the rank of Sergeant. *Photo courtesy of Jace Hasskew Racing.*

A former Sergeant in the United States Army where he served as a paratrooper, Hasskew started racing motorcycles when he was eight years old. The Ohio-based rider was a member of several motorcycle road racing organizations, and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course was his home track.

Over the past couple of years, he dipped his toe in MotoAmerca where he raced a Yamaha YZF-R7 in the SC-Project Twins Cup Championship at select rounds.

Hasskew was known for his constant smile and big personality, and he was a mentor and coach for young riders like fellow Ohioan Ian Fraley. Robert Lackey, co-founder of Bison leathers and one of Hasskew’s sponsors, said, “Jace was one of the most positive, brightest-smiling people in the paddock. He will be missed.”

Ride in peace and Godspeed, Jace.
