Johnny Gallagher, Jr. has been racing ever since
he was a kid and even battled against fellow GNCC
racer William Yokley for a youth championship back
in 1989 and despite his longevity in the sport,
he still hasn’t lost his competitive edge.
This year Gallagher has the support of Yamaha,
HMF, GBC Tires, and Fox Shox, a program that is
very similar to last year’s, which Gallagher
sees as an advantage. “I’m really
happy that I am able to basically stick with the
same program this year. I am very familiar with
the Yamaha and the components that I am using
and I know what I need to do to get everything
set up for this season,” said Gallagher.
Although the 2009 season was spent on the YFZ450R,
Gallagher is not worried about making the switch
to the YFZ450XC. It’s basically the same
as the “R”, just a little narrower,
and we a re going to be running our sponsors suspension
anyway, so for me it is the same quad, which will
be an advantage for me,” he said.

#783 Johnny
Gallagher has been racing nearly his entire
life with his father, John Gallagher,
but sadly he passed away over the winter
in a work related accident, and he will
surely be missed by anyone who had the
chance to meet him, and just like his
father, Johnny is passionate about racing
and will surely be racing for many years
to come
|
This season Gallagher is planning to step up
his game in order to stay competitive among the
ever-increasing competition. “I’m
really concentrating on my speed and endurance.
Being able to come down here and train with everyone
really helps because we push each other to be
better,” stated Gallagher, who is hoping
to make some podium appearances in 2010.
