TUCKER ROCKY TO RETURN TO RICHIE MORRIS RACING FOR THE 2016 AMA PRO FLAT TRACK SEASON WITH RIDER SHAYNA TEXTER
Richie Morris Racing (RMR) and Tucker Rocky have announced a continuation of their partnership for the 2016 AMA Pro Flat Track season, set to begin on March 10 at the Daytona Flat Track in the World Center of Racing. The partnership will ensure that female star-rider Shayna Texter will continue to have the best equipment possible as she hopes to continue making history in 2016.
Texter, who will turn 25 two days after the season opener, was excited about the announcement saying: “I’m happy to have Tucker Rocky back with our program. I can’t wait to try out the new MSR gear at our test next week. We’ve got a lot of great things happening at RMR, Tucker Rocky coming back was huge, and we are all very excited about debuting the 2016 American Honda CRF 450 in Daytona.”
For team owner Richie Morris, the partnership with Tucker Rocky guarantees his team will have the necessary funding, parts, accessories and rider equipment to help Texter continue her meteoric rise to stardom in AMA Flat Track Competition. After completing the 2015 season together, Morris is confident his team and rider have what it takes to win races and compete for championships in 2016.
“I’m delighted to have Tucker Rocky back with RMR for the 2016 season,” said Morris. “Now it’s my job to give them a return on their investment because they’ve placed a lot of confidence in me and Shayna by returning for another season. Tucker Rocky’s excitement about the future of AMA Pro Flat Track matches mine. New changes within the organization and constant improvements to the quality of the sport and on-track product are going to benefit Tucker Rocky and RMR collectively.”
“We are excited to welcome back Shayna and RMR to the Tucker Rocky/Bikers Choice family,” said Aaron Whitney V Twin Segment Director. “Shayna has proven her ability to win races at the AMA Pro level. We are exited for her and the team to be a front-runner in 2016.”
The deal was finalized Sunday morning at the Cincinnati V Twin Expo. Texter and Morris will travel back to Florida to test the new RMR American Honda CRF 450 this week.
