• FULL BIO: Brianna Scheltema

   

  Brianna Scheltema is a privateer motocross racer from Caledonia, Michigan, who was inspired to race by her sister Lindsey and has built a career competing in both local Michigan series and national competitions.

  EARLY YEARS

  Born November 17, 1999, in Caledonia, Michigan, Brianna grew up in a family where motocross was simply a way of life. Her sister Lindsey was already racing, and as Brianna puts it, “all I knew was motocross” as a child. When Lindsey retired from racing at age 11, something clicked for Brianna—instead of losing her connection to the sport, she decided to pursue it herself. Her father Rick has been the ultimate “moto dad,” supporting both daughters’ racing careers for over two decades.

  OTHER INTERESTS

  Beyond the track, Brianna is currently studying Business Management at Grand Rapids Community College, though details about her other interests and hobbies outside of motocross remain private.

  EARLY SUCCESS

  Brianna began her racing journey in her early teens, focusing on the D14 local Michigan series before expanding to compete at U.S. Nationals. She races primarily in Women’s and C classes aboard her KX250f with the number #115, building her experience as a privateer while securing support from multiple sponsors.

  NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

  While specific race wins and podium finishes aren’t documented in available sources, Brianna has established herself as a consistent competitor in both regional and national motocross competitions.

  INSPIRATIONS

  Sister Lindsey remains Brianna’s primary inspiration and mentor. “I wanted to be just like her when I was younger,” Brianna explains. “Now she wants the best for me and pushes me a lot to be the best.” Lindsey continues to attend races when possible, maintaining her supportive role in Brianna’s career even after stepping away from competition herself.

  REPUTATION

  As a privateer racer, Brianna has built relationships within the motocross community and secured sponsorship support from multiple companies including Team Babbitts, Fox Racing, Mobius Knee Braces, Dunlop, and FMF, among others. Her dedication to the sport has earned her recognition within motocross community outlets and podcast appearances.

  FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

  While continuing her Business Management studies, Brianna maintains her focus on motocross competition, though specific goals for 2025 and beyond haven’t been publicly documented.
