With only days before the start of the 2015 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship, Riders Discount Racing has announced it will not participate in the series after failing to secure vital manufacturer support.
In a statement released today, Riders Discount Racing states, “We are looking at options and have already spoken with a few manufacturers about racing again in 2016. Hopefully we will be back in 2016 and provide the series with another top-notch team. Until then, we want to wish the best of luck to all teams and riders competing in this year’s championship.
“Riders Discount would like to thank all of our sponsors: Triumph Motorcycles, Speed and Strength, Akrapovic, Attack Performance, Renthal, Andrew Swenson Design, Zero Gravity, GB Racing, Capit Performance, Motion Pro, Saddlemen, DynoJet,DrippinWet.com, Fast Frank Racing, Spiegler, Castrol, and Sharkskinz Racing Bodies.”
Riders Discount Racing finished fourth in the 2014 Daytona Sportbike Championship with rider Danny Eslick and the Triumph Daytona 675R. They also took home their first Daytona 200 victory in what was their second year of competition.
