Turner began motocross racing at age 3. At age 13, he began road racing, and by 14 he was competing in Europe on the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies circuit. He joined the circuit after winning one of 20 places out of 1,100 prospective young riders from across the United States and Europe.
In 2007, Turner left the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup after being dropped by Red Bull Racing.
