Welcome back to Touching Base! In this episode, Zach Miller and Vance Neidig sit down with Clayton Novotny, owner of Moto Plex Norfolk & Columbus, to talk about small-town roots, business growth, and what it takes to lead with integrity.

From his early days growing up in Nebraska to taking over Moto Plex and navigating major legislation like LB98, Clayton opens up about the hard decisions, lessons learned, and the drive that’s fueled his success.


We also dive into:

  • What it’s like taking over a family-founded business
  • How Nebraska’s ATV/UTV laws impact local businesses
  • Why community involvement and sponsorships matter
  • Clayton’s run for County Commissioner in Stanton’s 3rd District
  • The power of small-town leadership and long-term vision


This conversation goes beyond motors and mechanics, it’s about grit, growth, and giving back to the community that built you.
