Eagle[/caption]
The RCH Racing Soaring Eagle team has signed top privateer
Weston Peick
to race the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship for 2014. Peick
will continue to contest the remainder of the Feld Motor Sports®
2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship
series as a privateer, before joining the RCH Racing Soaring Eagle
effort.
Answering the question posed in Racer X Magazine and all over the
Internet, "Why Not Weston?" RCH team principal Ricky
Carmichael says why not, indeed. "I'm glad to have Weston a
part of the team." Peick earned seven amateur titles without
support from factories and raced a privateer since turning pro in
2009... until now. "We are excited to give him the opportunity and
look forward to working with him to help him achieve his goals,"
claims Carmichael.
"He has a great work ethic that will mesh well with our team
personnel to get the best result possible," adds Carmichael. "It
should be a lot of fun!"
Despite being a self-professed "goon" at Supercross early in his
career, the former high school football player has shown marked
improvement in the stadiums this season, including Top 5 at
Anaheim 3 and the
San Diego rounds. However he is really looking forward to
returning to the motocross outdoor
nationals. "This is a great opportunity to be surrounded by one of
the best riders of all time and one of the best factory teams to
help me get to the next level," said an elated Peick.
Loyalty is important to Peick and his father, and they requested to
finish the Supercross season as a privateer in order to honor their
sponsor commitments. This is a request that RCH Racing Soaring
Eagle certainly respects and is one of the reasons why Peick was
offered the opportunity. "I want to Thank all my current sponsors
for their outstanding support for the Supercross series... without
them, this opportunity wouldn't be possible," says Weston.
"We are so happy to have the opportunity for Weston to work with
RCH Racing," says his father Louie who has been working on Weston's
bikes throughout his career. "Thanks to all our sponsors that
helped us get to this level."
Look for Weston Peick to make his debut on the RCH Racing Soaring
Eagle Suzuki RM-Z450 at Glen
Helen on May 24th when the 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship kicks off.
