Kelly will become the first
member of the specially formed
American Racing Academy to be
promoted onto the world stage.
This won't be Kelly's first time

John Hopkins who will continue
as the team racing director.
"I'm very happy to have Sean
ride for the team next season,"
said Eitan Butbul, Team Princi-
pal. "I have known Sean since
his time in Red Bull Rookies cup
and been working with him since
we started the Academy project.
Sean is incredibly talented rider,
hard worker, 'never give up' and a
positive person."
"After three successful sea-
sons in MotoAmerica with Team
Hummer Suzuki M4, Sean will be
the first rider from our American
Racing Academy program to join
the team and complete our goal
to have two American riders at
the American Racing team.
"The project between the
Academy and the team is to build
a platform and a clear path for
talented American riders to give
them the opportunity to compete
at the world level.
"For me, to have an all-Amer-
ican team is something special
and the entire team will do the
best to bring the best results and
