2011 Pro Singles Champion Mikey Martin and Weirbach Racing reunited for 2015. Akron, Ohio- Previous AMA Pro Singles Champion Mikey Martin signs on as full time rider for the 2015 season with Weirbach racing of Ottumwa, Iowa. This is the same team and rider combo that captured the 2011 AMA Pro Singles Championship. Martin who stepped up to the AMA Pro Expert Ranks in 2012, had been riding for Bonneville Performance/Castrol/Triumph team until the end of the 2014 season. Looking forward to being back with old friends, Martin has this to say, “I’m looking forward to riding and working again with Dick and Ted. We seem to communicate well and the results speak for themselves. This time around the competition is much tougher than the last time I rode for them in the Pro ranks. We’re up to the challenge for sure!” After 3 years, Martin will also be making a brand change from the Triumph to a Kawasaki power plant. Testing will take place for the team prior to the spring opener race in March at Volusia 2015. This winter they will be building a 3rd Kawasaki and rebuilding the two they already have in their stable. Team owners Ted and Dick Weirbach also stated “We are very excited for the return of Martin to ride our Kawasaki’s, we have 2 years of experience with the 750’s and feel like we can be a threat at all the Grand National events.
