DAILY BREAD MADISON KAZIMIR
Hailing from Broad Brook, Connecticut, Madison Kazimir is a top contender in the Women’s classes heading into the 2025 racing season. Last year for Kazimir was exceptional. She took podium honors at Mini O’s with two third-place results in both the Supercross and Motocross portions in the Girls (11-16) class. In September, Maddie was a force to be reckoned with at the Baja Brawl in Millington, Michigan. It was there where she strung together an array of impressive rides and battled with the very best of them to ultimately result in a trip to the top of the box and the coveted golden, number-one plate. Kazimir solidified her standing as a top challenger at the ranch, where she walked away with a top-5 overall finish at the Loretta Lynn’s amateur national championship. Kazimir’s talent doesn’t stop on the motocross track, she is an accomplished golfer and also poses a serious threat on the tennis and pickleball courts. With her intense training regimen off the bike and devoted competitive mindset, there is much anticipation to see what the 1-1 will accomplish in the upcoming season. We spent some time with Maddie to get the ins and outs of all things Madison Kazimir.
