By Press Release on 19th Aug 21
MotoConcepts Racing (MCR) is excited to announce the return of Justin Brayton to their roster for the 2022 Supercross season.
Brayton enters his farewell season with an impressive resume, including a multi-year reign as the Australian Supercross champion, a consistent top-five finisher, and his record-setting race in 2018 when he became the oldest racer in history to secure a 450SX Main Event victory at the famed Daytona race.
Brayton shares the teams enthusiasm to be back under the MCR tent. "Mike Genova and I have had a great relationship from the time we met and Im excited to be back alongside him and the MCR team," said Brayton.
"Ive learned a lot from him not only at the races but outside of racing as well. Weve maintained our close friendship the past couple years even when I havent been on the team.
"My trust in Tony Alessi as the team manager is very high so I couldnt be happier to be back with the team that helped me win the Daytona Supercross. Its an exciting time in my career."
The 2022 Supercross season represents Justins 20th season as a professional racer during which he has gained unparalleled experience and knowledge making Brayton a team managers ideal rider to work with.
"It is an honour to have Justin on the MCR race team for the 2022 Supercross race season," said Genova. "It brings back fond memories of our work together during the race-winning 2018 Daytona Supercross season.
"As this is slated to be Justins farewell tour and race season it is our hope and expectation to end his career on a positive note and one that fans will remember."
Team owner Mike Genova shares Alessis goal to create a memorable season for Brayton and the entire MCR team. "Justin has a charisma that fans and industry professionals are drawn to. I have a great amount of respect for Justin as a racer, and as a person. He is high calibre in every category, fits the belief system, and models what MCR is about foundationally. Im excited to work with Justin again and am confident were going to be competitive while having a lot of fun during the 2022 season," added Genova.
MCR is finalising the remainder of its 2022 roster and releasing further details in the near future.
