Supercoss: Star Racing Returning With Familiar Lineup

Shan Moore | October 8, 2014

While a lot of teams are introducing new lineups for the 2015 season, Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha is one of the few to remain unchanged for the new season.

It appears that team owner Bobby Regan knows a good thing when he sees it and stuck with the winning formula that brought him and his sponsors a 250 outdoor title, as well as third place overall.

Yamaha announced this week that Jeremy Martin, Cooper Webb and Anthony Rodriguez will all be returning having signed new agreements with Star Racing. Joining the returning riders will be amateur standout Aaron Plessinger. Aaron’s final amateur race will be at the upcoming Monster Energy Cup, from there he will prepare for his pro debut sometime during the 2015 Supercross season, although it’s not yet determined if he will race the east regional series or west.

Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha is also back with Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA after signing a multiyear extension to their relationship, which will see the team race YZ250Fs in both the AMA Supercross and Outdoor series.

“This year was simply amazing. I’ve dreamt about this moment for a long time and I knew with the people we have on the team and the bikes that Yamaha provides us this was going to happen. I’m very excited to see what 2015 and beyond holds for our team and I couldn’t be happier to continue our awesome relationship with Yamaha”, said Star Racing team owner Bobby Regan.

“I’m so proud of everyone at Star Racing. We worked together and created a long term plan to develop riders from our Amateur motocross program and stuck with it. The results so far couldn’t have been any sweeter. Yamaha is very excited to see what 2015 holds with last year’s trio of Martin, Webb, and Rodriguez returning along with new rookie Plessinger,” said Yamaha Motor Co. Racing Division Manager, Keith McCarty.
