VOL. 55 ISSUE 50 DECEMBER 18, 2018 P85
Wayne [Rainey] and his team and Chuck
Aksland have done for MotoAmerica and
American racing. I just hope it keeps climbing
and budgets come back for the manufacturers
and stuff like that. It's tough times. There's a lot
of good talent in our paddock but there's not
enough bikes to put the talent on.
"That's always the hard part, and trying to
get sponsors outside of the industry to pay
attention has always been a bit of a problem.
But I think it's [the sport] is kind of struggling
across the board right now—overseas and
here. I don't think it's just our championship."
The MotoAmerica paddock
is a hard one to succeed in,
especially in the Superbike
game. Beaubier wants the
competition to be as strong as
possible, and doesn't want to see
teams like Danny Walker's Road
Race Factory (#50, with rider
Bobby Fong) effort fade away.
