Episode 361 Nick Alred: “Never Too Late to Chase the Dream”

Nick Alred’s story is one of passion rediscovered. From his early years racing MX, GP, flat track, and WORCS in the early 2000s capped by a Washougal win in 2011 — to stepping away from racing entirely, Nick thought his competitive days were behind him. But at 47, he’s back, preparing for Vegas to Reno with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement.

In this episode, Nick shares the highs of his racing journey, the reasons he stepped away, and the personal challenges that shaped his perspective. We dive into how reconnecting with old friends and the ATV-TALK community reignited his love for the sport, leading to his inspiring comeback. Along the way, Nick reflects on the difference between racing in his 20s versus now, the friendships that kept him grounded, and the gratitude he feels for a second chance at chasing the dream.

An inspiring, personal, and story-driven conversation that proves it’s never too late to follow your passion.
