Hard-riding privateer Weston Peick flies to RCH Soaring Eagle Suzuki for outdoor AMA Nationals.
RCH team principal Ricky Carmichael said that he is glad to have Peick as a part of the team.
“We are excited to give him the opportunity and look forward to working with him to help him achieve his goals,” Carmichael said. “He has a great work ethic that will mesh well with our team personnel to get the best result possible. It should be a lot of fun!”
Peick earned seven amateur titles without support from factories and raced as a privateer since turning pro in 2009… until now. 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-five finishes at the Anaheim III and the San Diego rounds. However he is really looking forward to returning to the outdoor nationals.
“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,” Peick said. “I want to Thank all my current sponsors for their outstanding support for the Supercross series… without them, this opportunity wouldn’t be possible.”
With his signing, Peick was welcome into RCH Soaring Eagle immediately. However, as a way of thanking his current sponsors, he has agreed to finish the Supercross season as a privateer and honor his sponsor commitments. RCH Racing Soaring Eagle respects Peick’s wishes. In fact, that sense of loyalty is one of the reasons why Peick was offered the opportunity in the first place, according to the team.
Look for Peick to make his debut on the RCH Racing Soaring Eagle Suzuki RM-Z450 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California, on May 24 when the 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship kicks off.
