Jayson Uribe

Jayson Uribe (born March 27, 1999, in Bellevue, Washington) is an American motorcycle racer from Napa Valley, California.

Early career

Uribe began his motorcycle racing career at age 4 aboard a Honda 50. He advanced to a two stroke Kawasaki KX65 at age 5 and began racing motocross competitively in the Northern California region. At age 7, Uribe expanded his racing interest to Supermoto on his KX65 Kawasaki with Supermoto USA and excelled in his division. Uribe raced and won in several championships aboard his Honda big wheel CRF150R and CRF250R over the next 5 years. By the age of 12 he had taken his Honda CRF250R to the top step of the SRC National Lites Champion while riding for Mammoth Motorsports.

In 2009, Uribe began his road racing career aboard a 2004 production Honda RS125 two-stroke GP machine. He is the second-youngest licensed racer in AFM history. Uribe raced at a club level in WERA and AFM for three years; however due to his young age several racetracks would not allow him to ride on their circuit citing insurance issues, thus making a championship win nearly impossible. In 2011 he was the WERA West Novice Champion in the F2 class. In 2012 and 2013 he was one of six Americans invited to the Redbull Rookies tryouts in Spain.

Between the years of 2013-2017, Jayson represented the USA internationally in the following championships:

In 2018, Jayson returned to his native home of California to begin his MotoAmerica Superbike Championship bid with Genuine Broaster ChickenHonda with Danny Walker as the principle of the team. On June 24, 2018, with no experience on the newly assembled 2017 Honda CBR1000rr sp2, Jayson made his Superbike debut at Weather Tech Laguna Seca Raceway where he finished 11th place out of a field of 19.

International career

Uribe's first international championship was in 2013 in the British Superbike Championship in the Monster Energy Motostar class. Jayson and his mother lived in Nottingham, UK for the season while his father stayed in Napa Valley to continue the family electrical business. Jayson raced under the Rock and Sons Racing banner with Ian Emberton as his chief mechanic. He placed 11th overall in the Championship that year with his strongest race finish being 7th at Silverstone in 2013. Jayson was the only rider to finish every race in points contention; and he still holds the BSB record today with 19 consecutive finishes in points contention.

Jayson continued on in England for another year before a team from France, headed by the famous French endurance champion, Sebastien Gimbert, asked him to join his "Race Experience Junior" team and ride alongside two other French racers in the Pirelli 600 Cup in the French Superbike Championship. During the 2015 season, Jayson achieved 5 podium finishes and 1 win. With his win at Ledenon, Jayson became the first American rider to ever win a race in FSBK history.
