AMA Pro Racing

Monster Energy Graves Motorsports Yamaha fields reigning 2011 AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Champion Josh Hayes with teammate Josh Herrin in AMA Pro Road Racing's premier class.

Graves Motorsports was born in 1990 out of the dreams, desire, and dedication of brothers Chuck, Mike, and Tom Graves. Both a manufacturer of performance accessories and a professional road racing team, the Van Nuys, California company’s ceaseless mission is: craftsmanship leads to championships. Serving that goal, Graves Motorsports provides privateer racers with Factory-quality, race-proven performance parts.

Central to the success of Graves Motorsports is the passion of proprietor Chuck Graves, whose hands steer the company and its racing team. Graves started his motorcycling career by taking courses in motorcycle repair in high school. By the early ’80s, he found himself assisting a professional racer at the local Willow Springs races. At the track, Graves' love of metalworking and fabrication gave way to a craving to compete and soon Graves was building himself a bike to race.
