Now, at 15, Ben will be on the other side of the fence as one of the youngest racers in his division.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering the Bone Stock division is a common introduction for many beginner racers, according to Sunset Speedway\u2019s Track Announcer and Social Media Manager, Brendan Doherty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur (Bone Stock) division has been a starting point for many young racers, for example, Connor Maltese who would have been 15 when he raced Bone Stock has graduated up the ranks to our Super Stock division, so it is a really great starting point for those getting into the sport,\u201d said Doherty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben&#8217;s mother, Mindy Turner-McPherson, is happy to sit on the sidelines watching Ben and his dad work together on something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBen has always wanted to race so everyone, including myself, are really excited to see Ben pursuing his passion,\u201d she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;While she cheers from the sidelines, she credits her husband, Ben\u2019s father, with providing Ben with the biggest support. \u201cIt\u2019s been more so his dad that has supported and helped him. Gord provided him with the dirt bikes, the go-karts, the karting experience, and project cars to work on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gord said the project car was meant to be something for the two to bond over. He never thought it would lead to Ben being strapped into a race car before he even had his G1 license.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While both parents are excited for him, they also worry. They try and remind each other of the safety measures in place, \u201cHe\u2019s got every safety precaution in that car. He\u2019s got his helmet. His neck brace, the five-point harness, fire extinguisher, etc. All of the i&#8217;s have been dotted and all the t&#8217;s are crossed. Like every other sport, you can\u2019t hold them back, so we\u2019ve protected him the best we can,\u201d said Mindy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked if he is scared of the risks, Ben says he is excited and just wants to get on the track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been my dream since I was two&#8230; I always grew up around the track. I grew up watching the races. I\u2019ve been going to Sunset for my birthday since I can remember. It will be nice to be on the other side this season,\u201d said Ben.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two seasons of go-karting, Ben says he feels prepared to race in full-sized cars. \u201cThe first time I went out for go-karting I was terrified. But after the first race, after a few spinouts and crashes, it changed it. It made it so I didn\u2019t have to be afraid of it, instead, I learned from it.\u201d Ben hopes it is the same for his Bone stock racing but added, \u201cI\u2019m hoping we can do without the crashes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting the McPherson Motorsports Facebook page for friends, family, and supporters to follow the journey of Ben\u2019s racing career, the father and son are thankful for the encouragement they have received.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137523\" width=\"423\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948-385x300.jpg 385w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948-600x468.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948-554x432.jpg 554w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948-630x491.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/05\/IMG_8948.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ben\u2019McPheson&#8217;sfirst time at the racetrack at Sunset Speedway in the summer of 2010. Ben was no more than four years old at the time. This photo was taken by his father, Gord. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Through the Facebook page, McPherson Motorsports has also attracted a handful of sponsors to help fund and support the passion. \u201cIt\u2019s been very, very, incredible. We have a lot of support from local businesses and even some south-based businesses that are closer to Sunset Speedway. We have about a dozen partners and growing,\u201d said Ben.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout all stages of life, Ben\u2019s dreams and passions have been supported, his seventh and eighth-grade teacher, Greg Pitts, is one who made a lasting impression on Ben.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitts always encouraged Ben to follow his ambitions. Pitts said when Ben had to do a history project he picked the history of an engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now two years after graduating from Pitts\u2019s Grade Eight class, Pitts is happy to see Ben still actively perusing the dreams he started with. \u201cHe always said that was what he was going to do. It\u2019s great to see Ben\u2019s perseverance, and I\u2019m proud of what he\u2019s done,\u201d says Pitts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben\u2019s good attitude and willingness to learn made him a well-known face at the go-karting track. \u201cEveryone (at the track) was happy to see him do well because he was always happy to see everyone else do well. Ben has a competitive side, but he has a very good sportsman side too&#8230; he\u2019s okay if you beat him, if you beat him fair,\u201d said Gord.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Danielle McPherson What started as a father and son project to rebuild and fix an old beat-up 2006 Pontiac G5 pursuit in their garage in Huntsville, has now turned [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":137532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3542],"class_list":["post-137517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ben-mcpherson"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
