- Matt Legerski - #1 Pro-Stock / # 3 Pro Open
Matt, 37 year old from Sheridan Wyoming,
a train engineer when he’s not racing comes to Noble
Racing with many years of riding experience. Matt first started
racing standups
in Wyoming. When the railroad transferred Matt to Flagstaff,
Arizona he became envolved with endurance racing.
His first race was a 300 mile race with BP motor
sports in 2000. It didn’t take long before Matt
became a force to be reckoned with, compiling a number
of awards.
Matt joined Noble Racing in 2005 to race supercourse in
Texas. Matt races in both the Pro-Am stock and Pro-Am open
classes where he finished #1 in Pro-Am stock and 3rd in
Pro-Am open in the APBA national high points, which covers
both
the U.S.A. and Canada.
We are pleased
here at Noble Racing to once again have Matt with us in 2007
and to strive to keep him on his winning
ways.

- Steve Friebe - Masters / Pro Open
Steve was born and raised in Saint Cloud, Minnesota.
He started his career in the Motorsports industry as a technician
at a
Honda, John Deere dealer back in 1978.
In 1982, he left the cold country to move to sunny California.
To this day he is still employed at Clawson Motorsports, the
same shop that he started at when
he got to California. He puts it this way, “I am sure glad I don’t
have to go to work every day, I just get to go play, learn and have a good time.”
Steve started racing jet skis back in 1999 and was hooked immediately. He joined
the crew at Noble Racing in 2005. The long races are his favorite because of
all the additional requirements like perfect fuel stops, quick rider changes
and a good strategy.
He says, ”The best part about racing is all the great people you get to
meet and hang out with.” His most prized accomplishment was winning the
Mark Hahn Memorial 300 mile race in 2006. One of his remaining goals is to win
the Long Beach to Catalina race, his best finish so far has been a third place.
Steve is married to his wife Gail and has a 19 year old daughter named Bailey.

Amy
Green - Pro Womens / Pro Open
Amy
is a 5" 2' inch ball of fire, from Bay City, Michigan and
recently moved to southern California.
She's a graduate of Michigan State with degree in logistics.
While at MSU, Amy competed on the equestrian team.
So one might believe that competition comes natural to Amy.
During the 90's she was climbing into the cabs of semi-trucks and drag racing
big rigs. Most recently, Amy has been active
in PWC racing where she has compiled quite a number of accomplishments, such
as: |
- 3 time
IJSBA C.C. Pro-Womens 1200 LTD world champion
- 2 time APBA Supercourse
Pro-Women 1200SS national champion
- 2 time APBA CC
Pro-Women 1200 LTD national champion
- 2 time APBA CC
Veterrans 1200 SS national champion
- 1 time APBA Team
Endurance national 4 stroke stock champion
|
As one
can see, Amy isn't one to shy away from competing against the
men either, as she races both in the Open Pro and Veteran class
which are predominantly male
dominent classes. Amy feels her most significant accomplishment was the 2005
World Finals, winning the Pro-Womens championship and finishing
second in the mens
veterans 1200SS and Expert 1200LTD classes.
Amy first joined the Noble Racing Team in 2005 for the Supercourse national,
winning the Pro-Womens title and returned again in 2006 to win the Pro-Womens
title again.
Amy has the perverbial "eye of the tiger" when
it comes
to
racing and winning, say's team manager Larry Ham. |

| Andy
is married to wife Yolonda and has 2 sons and step-daughter.
Andy's biggest racing thrill was winning the
World Final National Championship in both Sport SS and Sport
LTD and
5th overall in Nov 1200 SS. Running over 72 laps in one day the
announcers nicknamed me "Andy the Animial". Two of
the races were back to back and they had to hold the line for
me
to get from tech. Later that same year winning the First Endurance
National Championship.
"We here at Noble racing are glad to have Andy Wise on board",
says team manager Larry Ham, "he’s going to be
a positive addition to the team."
