T
he Rockstar Energy Husqvar-
na Factory Racing Team of-
ficially announced that Malcolm
Stewart has inked a two-year
deal to join the team's 450 ef-
forts in both the Monster Energy
AMA Supercross Champion-
ship and AMA Pro Motocross
Championships. The 28-year-old
Florida native will pilot the FC
450 Rockstar Edition for the
2022 and 2023 race seasons,
beginning on January 8 with the
Anaheim SX season opener.
"I'm really excited to have a
full indoor/outdoor deal that's
sealed for two years," said Stew-
art. "It's definitely a great oppor-
tunity for me and I think there's
nothing but positive vibes coming
from me. I've always wanted to
ride one of these Husqvarna mo-
torcycles, I've seen everybody in
the past do very well on it. We've
been putting in the work this
summer. Having a new training
program going with Aldon Baker,
I know there's going to be a lot of
big changes for me, but I'm look-
ing forward to it all. I've seen the
successes that have happened
through The Baker's Factory
and I want to be a part of those
people, so I feel that this is a
good opportunity for me in these
next two years to go out there
and do the best that I can."
Now, with the Rockstar En-
ergy Husqvarna Factory Racing
team behind him, Stewart looks
to keep the momentum rolling
as he prepares to attack both
supercross and motocross for
the first time since 2014.
"It's been a while since I've
done the outdoors, but I feel like
racing is racing—anytime the gate
drops there's no negative vibes
and it's always going to be a
positive," Stewart said. "You live
and you learn something from it,
so let's just get ready because
that number-27 is going to be out
there!"
