Vince Friese

Vince Friese turned professional in 2010 and has been a fixture in AMA Supercross ever since. Few riders in the sport can claim as many seasons of consistent presence, and Friese wears that longevity as a badge of honor. The Menifee, California native built his career with determination that keeps him in the gate against riders a decade younger.

The 2026 season finds Friese aboard the Monster Energy Kawasaki KX 450, accumulating 62 points through the championship. For a rider with over 15 years of professional experience, every additional season is a testament to the conditioning, preparation, and competitive fire that has defined his career.

A Decade and a Half of Professional Racing

Professional supercross careers rarely last more than a decade. Friese has outlasted virtually everyone who turned professional when he did — a testament to his fitness, skill, and love of competition. At 35, he remains a legitimate points-scoring threat every time he crosses the start line.

The Veteran's Edge

Experience in supercross translates directly into racecraft, track reading, and managing difficult situations. Friese has raced at every stadium in the AMA series, in every condition, and he carries that knowledge into every lap — a quality that money and talent alone cannot buy.
