KOSINSKI JOINS
TOBC RACING
A
nthony Kosinski, a third-year pro rider from
South Bend, Indiana, will join the TOBC Racing
squad in 2017. Kosinski will contest MotoAmerica's
Superstock 1000 class aboard the number 63
TOBC Racing Yamaha R1.
Kosinski, 25, emerged after a brief and success-
ful club racing career and made his professional
MotoAmerica debut in 2015. Last year was his first
full season of racing in MotoAmerica. He raced un-
der the tutelage of legendary AMA Superbike racer
Dale Quarterley on the Quarterley Racing On Track
Development squad.
Kosinski finished ranked 13th nationally in the
2016 MotoAmerica Bazzaz Superstock 1000 Series.
He scored six top-10 finishes, including a season-
best eighth at Virginia International Raceway.
"We are happy to welcome Anthony on board
to the team alongside Danny Eslick with TOBC
Racing this year," said TOBC Racing's team owner
Michelle Lindsay. "We've watched his growth as a
young racer in the last couple of seasons and feel
he has a great deal of promise."
Kosinski is excited about the prospect of racing
for one of the leading teams in the MotoAmerica
paddock.
"The opportunity to race for TOBC Racing has
me really excited for the 2017 season," Kosinski
said. "This team has established itself as a proven
winner and I hope to take my racing skills to the
next level under the TOBC tent. Having a champi-
onship-winning teammate like Danny Eslick is going
to be a great boost to my career. I plan on listening
and learning as much as I can from him. This will
be my second full season of pro racing and I have
goals and I think I'll have a much greater chance of
obtaining those goals with TOBC." CN

AND HE STICKS
THE LANDING!
G
eico Honda rider Jeremy Martin
had a spectacular wreck during
practice at the San Diego Supercross.
It could have ended in complete disas-
ter, but somehow Martin vaulted over
two rows of Tuff Blocks and flipped
over twice before landing on his feet.
This particular section caused
trouble for many riders, not just Martin,
and was later modified by the track
crew. Problem fixed. CN
