Hahn Out, Rarick In As Monster Energy
Star/Yamaha Racing Manager
T
he Monster Energy Star
Racing Yamaha Team and its
250cc Team Manager Wil Hahn
have parted ways by mutual
agreement. Seth Rarick will be
Hahn's replacement. The team
is currently in the process of
moving its base camp from Cali-
fornia to Florida, but the Califor-
nian, Hahn, will be staying put.
A release from the team states
that after four very successful
years, Monster Energy/Star Rac-
ing Yamaha would like to extend
a thank you and best wishes to
250 Team Manager Wil Hahn as
he departs the race team. Hahn,
who competed for Star Yamaha
as a rider from 2007-2008 and
as team manager from 2017-
2021, played an instrumental
role in helping the team capture
seven championships.
"I have enjoyed working
with Wil Hahn for the past four
seasons and will miss hav-
ing him around," said Jeremy
Coker, 450 Team Manager, Star
Racing. "I'm glad to have Seth
[Rarick] back with the program
and look forward to helping him
grow within the program. He will
assist me in the management of
this amazing program and hope-
fully continue our powerhouse
championship-winning path."
With Hahn's departure, Seth
Rarick will take over the 250
manager position effective im-
mediately. Rarick has previously
worked with the Star Racing
team as an assistant trainer to
Gareth Swanepoel and most
recently worked with several of
the sports top racers at the Bak-
ers Factory. As a former profes-
sional racer himself, he brings
a wide range of knowledge that
will be extremely beneficial to
the team.
"I'm very excited to be back
with the Monster Energy/Star/
Yamaha Racing team. I have
a much different role this time
around, but I'm ecstatic to
expand my horizons as well as
provide my knowledge and ex-
perience to such an established
team," said Rarick. "I'm very
thankful for the opportunity and
everyone here for trusting and
believing in me. I need to thank
Aldon Baker for being so gra-
cious and kind to me when this
opportunity came up, as well
as Wil Hahn for helping me get
caught up to speed so quickly.
I'm looking forward to continuing
the success that Star has had
for so many years!"
