Inte i AMA än, men trummisen i Hoobastank har börjat tävla i RR. Han gjorde sin debut i maj på California International Speedway i WERA.

“I was so freaked out by the starts. I think I let every single other racer pass me off the grid in each race. The biggest concern of mine is safety and the first turn scared me. I'm completely confident when there aren't a hundred other bikes around me, but I'm concerned about other riders taking me out. If I get hurt the whole band suffers, not to mention my girl friend.”
“Once each race got going I wasn't passed by anyone, which is always a nice feeling. I was told that at California Speedway riders tend to go wide and brake early for turn one off the start, so I stuck to the inside and passed about five guys right there. But there was a pile up in front of me and they restarted that race. All three of my races were shortened to four laps from six due to red flags, so I think I could have done better, but every racer says that.”
“If any racers notice a yellow and black R6 with the number 64 on it, please be sure not to crash into me. I'm looking forward to this event because now I have some points and so I won't be gridded in the back.”
Chris ska anordna en bandag då han bjuder in alla kändisar han kan komma på innom musik, film och andra sporter så att dom ska få prova på att få gasa av sig på en bana. Dom ska även spela med sitt band på MotoGP racet på Laguna Seca.
