SCORE Journal

The Ironman's Ironman

If the Pro Moto Ironman riders are considered the heroes of desert racing, Josear Carrasco is the one guy all Ironman riders look up to. Carrasco began racing SCORE in 2009 and entered into his first Pro Moto Ironman in 2016. “I got into motorcycle racing because of my dad,” said Carrasco. “He raced when he was young and has been around the industry his whole life. I started racing bicycles and at the age of six, I got my first dirt bike. Being a kid from Baja, Mexico I grew up seeing my heroes like Larry Roeseler, Johnny Campbell, and my interest in ironman racers came from watching Ivan Stewart and Mouse McCoy in the Dust To Glory movie.”
