Marc Burnett
Former Baja 500 Champ and president of Freestylemx, Inc., Marc Burnett is a passionate and professional off-road racer with over 27 years of experience in the sport. He was born to race, everything from dirt bikes to custom Baja buggies. Today he manages more than a 100 Freestyle MX (FMX) shows domestically and internationally. Some days he plays entrepreneur, some days it's weatherman, but on the day he plays mechanic, Marc is a solid fan of Chicago Pneumatic tools. "On tour, we ride hard, break things, and have no time to mess with tools that can't keep up. I like CP tools 'cause they take the worst beating we can give them and still work perfectly." Chicago Pneumatic has sponsored MB Motorsports since 2016 and is proud to continue our support of Marc Burnett and his racing endeavors. Follow Marc the week of August 16-19 at the Vegas to Reno race and check out his demanding race and show schedule at www.freestylemx.com or find him on social media here: Twitter, Facebook.
