DAVIDSON, N.C. (February 2,
2023) –
Wally
Brown Racing
has recruited 2022
Mission Production Twins
Champion Jesse Janisch
to compete in the 2023
Progressive American Flat Track
series.
Wally Brown Racing will step up
to the premier Mission
SuperTwins category
after developing the WBR KTM 890
Duke into a two-time Mission
Production Twins race winner
with James Rispoli
at the controls a year ago.
This season, WBR and Janisch
will run a limited schedule with
continued support from
KTM North America. The
effort will utilize both the
established WBR KTM 890 Duke and
the all-new WBR KTM 790 Duke as
KTM shifts its focus to the 790
platform to prepare for the 2024
rules package.
The versatile Janisch has an
extensive motorsports history,
including dirt track,
roadracing, supermoto,
motocross, hillclimb, grass drag
racing, and off-road racing. The
Wisconsin native started racing
professionally in 2003 and first
made his name in Progressive AFT
as a TT extraordinaire. In 2022,
Janisch demonstrated his
complete mastery of the sport,
scoring seven victories and 13
podiums en route to the Mission
Production Twins title.
“I’ve been able to witness the
triumphs of the WBR program at
the expense of my own successes
in 2022,” Janisch said, “As they
say – if you can’t beat them,
join them! I cannot wait to jump
on the new 790 platform that
they’ve been hard at work on
this winter and see where we
shake out at our first round. I
was fortunate to compete in
several Mission SuperTwins Main
Events in 2022. I’m ready to
improve upon my results and turn
some heads in the class in
2023.”
"Wally and the WBR team really
did an amazing job in 2022
showcasing the Ready to Race
potential of our KTM 890 Duke
platform in the Mission
Production Twins class,” said
Chris Fillmore, Flat Track
Manager for KTM. “It was good to
hear they are excited and
willing to also get an early
start with the all-new KTM 790
Duke platform in anticipation of
the displacement reduction the
series will introduce in 2024.
The bar has been raised with the
series going to a single Twins
class in 2023, but based on the
team’s quick successes in the
past, I know they are motivated
and ready for the challenge.
Jesse proved last season he has
what it takes on a twin by
winning the Mission Production
Twins Championship. We are for
sure looking forward to seeing
how things develop.”
