Michael Stanton

Wish2Ride · 04-12-2012

Michael was injured during the '03 4-Stroke Nationals, he went down in a muddy corner near the holeshot, that he and his long time racing buddy, Spud Walters, had asked the promoter to scrape, which he did not. The flaggers didn't see him, the rest of the pack was speeding past him, and one of the riders footpegs hit Michael's helmet. He was immediately in a coma and was airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical center. He remained unresponsive for 4 and a half months, and in hospitals and sub-acute care facilities for 17 months.

Michael has raced since he was 10 years old, aside from his college years, where he received a B.A. in Philosophy. Michael #17 in the 2002 4-Strokes Nationals, was sponored by Carmichael Honda here in Sac as their A rider on the team. In addition, he had many sponsors.
