PETERS TO JGRMX SUZUKI
K
yle Peters is the latest to be
signed by the Autotrader/
Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Rac-
ing Team. The 24-year-old from
North Carolina will compete in
the 250SX class in supercross
for the 2018 season. He will join
teammates Justin Hill and James
Decotis, plus one more rider
who will be named later. Peters
turned pro in 2011.
"I have always wanted to ride
for a factory team, and I'm so
thankful to get the opportunity
with the Autotrader/ Yoshimura/
Suzuki Factory Racing Team,"
said Peters. "What makes it
more special is that JGRMX is
based in my home state of North
Carolina. I was fortunate enough
to ride for the team during sev-
eral rounds of the 2017 Monster
Energy AMA Supercross 250
Eastern regional series. The
crew members and I immediately
hit it off. In the past few months
I have been wearing out [team
manager] Jeremy Albrecht's cell
phone, calling to see if he had a
slot open. I am beyond excited
that things worked out. I can't
wait to put in the effort and make
2018 the best year of my career
yet." CN

experience that they may need as the team
evolves." CN
