Danny Eslick in for MotoAmerica Superstock 1000

Eslick’s heading for MotoAmerica Superstock 1000, but first he wants to make it three straight Daytona 200 wins on three different machines (2014 – Triumph, 2015 – Suzuki).
Fan favorite Danny Eslick will be on the startline for the opening round of the 2016 MotoAmerica Superstock 1000 Championship after confirming a season long deal with TOBC Racing aboard a Yamaha YZF-R1.
A fractured 2015 season aboard a Honda CBR1000RR for Turbo Turtle Racing and later as a fill in rider for Aprilia HSBK in the final round at New Jersey where Eslick netted 6-6 results showed he still has the speed to compete at the front, and his arrival reignites one of U.S. racing’s hottest rivalries against long time nemesis Josh Herrin, who also moves up to Superstock 1000 with Meen Motorsports.
Eslick will also compete in the Daytona 200 this March as he goes for his third straight win. His 2015 Daytona 200 victory came on a TOBC Racing Suzuki GSX-R600, with the team switching to the Yamaha YZF-R6 for 2016.
Speaking to Next Moto Champion’s Danielle Teal, Eslick said, “To be doing the 200 with the TOBC team is really awesome, but to ride a full season on one of the new R1s is going to be even better. I’m super stoked to be working with [team owner] Michelle [Lindsay] and the TOBC crew. I’m going to be having fun and sliding that R1 around.”
Watch out for some fireworks at round one of MotoAmerica in Austin this April!
