Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory
Racing Team Set For 2024 SMX
I
t was a busy week for team
introductions. The Rockstar En-
ergy Husqvarna Factory Racing
Team also held a meet and greet
with the media while officially
introducing its 2024 Supercross
and motocross squads. The
team has an expanded five-rider
lineup for the 2024 SuperMoto
-
cross season, with 450SX duo
Malcolm Stewart and Christian
Craig, alongside 250SX con
-
tenders RJ Hampshire, Guillem
Farres and Casey Cochran. The
team introduction took place at
the Pierer Mobility Group HQ in
Murrieta, California, where they
unveiled a new team livery and
the first episode of this season's
Grit and Grind web series.
Stewart and Craig lead the
team into '24 after injuries side
-
lined them for most of this year.
Hampshire is on a new two-
year 250SX deal and will assist
newcomers Cochran and Farres,
as they tackle their first season
in Supercross. Other news also
included Rockstar Energy Drink's
extension with the team, which
sees them as the title sponsor
for another two years.
"I think that, ultimately, we're
going to come out swinging and
avoid the major ups and downs
and ride it out as steady as
possible and put our Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna team riders
up front," said team manager
Nathan Ramsey. "We have looked
a lot at things that have cost
us or possibly pushed us out of
championship hopes in the past,
and I think we have highlighted
a few of those areas, and we
are all—the team, the crew, the
riders, everyone—committed
to correcting those areas. And
hopefully it works and pays off,
because if they are corrected, I
think we're in the hunt, for sure."
