Bobby Dawson, the team's
new off-road manager, said,
"Being in this new position,
I'm excited. Over the past five
years, working as a mechanic
and seeing how things operate
in off-road racing across dif
-
ferent series and events has
been invaluable. Each series is
a different style of racing, so
attending all of those races gave
me a broad perspective on what
the management role actually
involves. We have a great group
of riders and mechanics on the
team. I can't wait to see what we
can do at the races in 2026."
