Brayden.
Charlotte · Guadix · Whatever comes next
Brayden Burke is seventeen. Born in Sweden, raised in Spain and Florida, and currently residing in Charlotte, NC — quietly turning into one of the more interesting young road racers in American club competition.
He rides number 85. In his 2025 novice season he finished on the podium in eleven of fourteen starts and took P2 and P3 at the WERA Grand National Finals — then stepped up to Expert, the pro-level class. The three races he didn’t podium include his first race in the wet, and his second race on the 400.
In October 2025 he was an invited rider at the Red Bull Rookies Selection Event in Guadix, Spain — three days with some of the fastest young talents from around the world, and a clear read on exactly what the next level asks of you.
He started his track racing career being coached by MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Ashton Yates, first on the 125cc and then on the 400cc and also guided by Aaron Stevenson, Cornerspin and Riders Formation in Spain where he spent time training July 2025.
