P80 Interview ROAD RACER SEAN DYLAN KELLY M4 Ecstar Suzuki Team Man- ager Chris Ulrich is excited about having Kelly on the squad. He told us a little bit about how the squad came to sign him. "He finished up with Red Bull Rookies and didn't really have that much going on," Ulrich said. "So his options were trying to go after Spanish Moto2 or Moto3 in the CEV before he got to the world championship. Really at that point, you're going to need somewhere between two hun- dred and three hundred thou- sand euros. Really that's hard to find these days, whether you're an established team or not. He did have some opportunities, but we got him working with Rober- tino Pietri, who's a friend of mine and former teammate. He works with Sean pretty closely down there in Miami. (Above) Riding for the M4 Ecstar Suzuki Team, Kelly (311) isn't afraid to mix it up like he is here at the Daytona 200. (Below) The young Floridian came within a fraction of a second of winning this year's Daytona 200.
