Christopher Pennacchio is the visionary Team Owner of MX6 racing, a developmental motocross program founded in January of 2024. After years of helping young riders get to the races and supporting their journeys behind the scenes, Chris experienced a life-changing event that reignited his passion for motocross and clarified his purpose. Determined to stay deeply involved in the sport he cherishes, he chose to pursue what truly brings him fulfillment—building opportunity for the next generation of riders.
Through MX6 racing, Christopher provides full and partial sponsorship opportunities to talented youth who may not otherwise have the financial means to pursue their dreams. His commitment goes beyond competition; it is rooted in mentorship, access, and long-term development. Although Chris has no children of his own, supporting and nurturing young athletes through MX6 racing allows him to fulfill that role by helping riders grow, mature, and reach their full potential both on and off the track.
To further support this mission, Christopher also established Sons of Our Fathers, a private foundation created to empower MX6 racing through the generosity of donors who share a passion for motocross, mentorship, and community. The foundation plays a critical role in providing resources, opportunities, and stability for riders, reinforcing the belief that talent deserves opportunity regardless of background.
In addition to his leadership at MX6 racing, Christopher is a Partner at Stapes Performance, where he helps drive the company’s strategic vision and industry partnerships. Known for his relationship-driven leadership style, he is deeply invested in building meaningful connections and bridging gaps within the motocross industry. His focus has always been on empowering riders, teams, and professionals by creating access, opportunity, and performance advantages traditionally reserved for elite factory programs. Through Stapes Performance, that mission continues—giving every rider, regardless of backing, the tools and resources needed to perform at a factory level.
Christopher remains deeply grateful for the unwavering support of the motocross community and the individuals who share his passion for the sport. Without their belief, generosity, and commitment, the vision behind MX6 racing, Stapes Performance, and Sons of Our Fathers would not be possible.
