VOL. 54 ISSUE 2 JANUARY 17, 2017 P41 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 PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN J. NELSON Anthony Kosinski is the newest member of the TOBC Racing Team. 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.
