GEICO Honda announced this week the signing of Malcolm Stewart its team for the 2015 season. Stewart will compete in the 250SX West class at the upcoming Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series.

Stewart had some impressive results riding a 450 during this year’s outdoor series, but he was looking forward to returning to the 250 class for supercross competition.

“I’m excited for this opportunity,” Stewart said. “Obviously, the GEICO Honda team is a top-tier group that is always in contention. I think my previous experience in the 250 class, especially in 250SX West, will help make this transition easier and get us off to a fast start.”

Stewart ended last year’s 250SX West action in sixth place with three podium results and just one finish outside the top 10.

“I’m hoping to start the year off strong and get the results I think we are capable of achieving,” added Stewart.

GEICO Honda team manager and past series champion Mike LaRocco feels the addition of Stewart to the team will give an added veteran boost to the entire Supercross season, not just the West races.

“We like to put our best foot forward on the West Coast,” LaRocco said. “Not only is the majority of the industry located in this region but the West riders kind of dictate the rest of the racing. The other riders really get to build some momentum off the West guys if they’re running well, and that’s what we like to try to ensure.”

Stewart will make his debut with the team Jan. 3 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
