The RCH Racing Soaring Eagle has signed top privateer Weston Peick to race the Lucas Oil Pro Motorcross Championship for 2014.
Peick will continue to contest the remainder of the Feld Motor Sportså¨ 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship series as a privateer, before joining the RCH Racing Soaring Eagle effort.
Peick earned seven amateur titles without support from factories and raced a privateer since turning pro in 2009 until now.
"I'm glad to have Weston a part of the team." Team co-manager Carmichael commented."We are excited to give him the opportunity and look forward to working with him to help him achieve his goals.
"He has a great work ethic that will mesh well with our team personnel to get the best result possible," added 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 performances at Anaheim 3 and San Diego.
"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‰Ûªt be possible," Weston commented.
"We are so happy to have the opportunity for Weston to work with RCH Racing," his father Louie who has been working on Weston‰Ûªs bikes throughout his career said. "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 24 when the 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship kicks off.
