Peick Announces Retirement
W
eston Peick announced his
retirement from profession-
al racing. The serious injuries
that he sustained while racing at
the Paris Supercross at the end
of 2018 proved to be insurmount-
able, with his right eye still not
back to 100 percent nearly two
years later.
Peick had a very untraditional
professional racing career. After
coming up through the ranks
as an amateur, culminating in a
class win at Loretta Lynn's ama-
teur motocross championship in
2008, he did not get any offers
from any of the top 250 factory
or support teams. He put in sev-
eral years as a privateer, often
beating factory-supported riders.
He finally got a ride with the RCH
Suzuki team midway through the
2014 season and then moved
onto the JGR team for 2015. He
rode for JGR (first on Yamahas
and then Suzukis) from 2015
through 2018. After taking all of
2019 and half of 2020 off in an
effort to recover from the Paris
Supercross injuries, he has now
decided to retire from profes-
sional racing. CN
