Chase Anderson is turning a lot of heads at motocross racetracks this season.

He's already competed in several races, and has taken first place in his class -- but what's most surprising to a lot of motocross fans is his age: he's only three years old.

Recently, his family cheered him on at a motocross race at the state fairgrounds, but Chase wasn't the only person they were rooting for -- he's part of an entire racing group of cousins, other relatives and friends -- 13 in total.

The group, "Team Valley Rally," practices at their own racetrack in Sutton, and the practice appears to be paying off.  In the recent Kenai City Series, Chase and four of his relatives placed in various different motocross competition classes. 

The family says motocross racing is a positive way to build encouragement among the kids.
