Lucky 4-year-old Frankie Stacey from Poole is to join Islander Charlie Luckman as a mascot for the Wightlink Warriors speedway team in 2016.
Frankie’s mum Dawn said:
“Frankie’s been attending speedway from around 3 weeks old and has been riding motorcycles since the age of 3. He started riding on a qr50 and now rides a KTM mini adventure. Frankie attends regular motocross meetings and will be starting to compete racing in May. However, speedway is in Frankie’s blood, his grandad was a sponsor and involved for many years on the Isle of Wight, and now we cannot wait to see Frankie on the track at Smallbrook.

Warriors Co-boss Barry Bishop said:
“Frankie’s family has been involved in speedway for many years so it’s extremely pleasing for us that Dawn has chosen the Warriors for Frankie to start on the speedway tracks. I am really looking forward to see Charlie and Frankie inspiring others to get a bike as they take their place with the Warriors. This is going to be a great year. Welcome to the Warriors Frankie.”
