Bauman and Shayna
Texter-Bauman, the
winningest rider in Parts
Unlimited AFT Singles presented
by KICKER history, have signed
on with the team. Bauman will
compete with a KTM 890 Duke R in
the Mission SuperTwins class,
while Shayna will campaign a KTM
450 SX-F in the Parts Unlimited
AFT Singles Class.
This adds another element to the
expansion efforts of RWR as it
continues to grow its motorsport
platform. Currently, it fields
entries in the NASCAR Cup
Series, IndyCar, NHRA (Top
Fuel), IMSA (LMP2), AMA
Supercross and FIM World
Supercross Championships. These
respective schedules will see
RWR compete in seven different
countries all over the world.
“This is another step for RWR in
growing our marketing value and
expanding with new sponsors.”
said Rick Ware. “We’re looking
forward to joining the AFT
series and chasing wins with
Championship-caliber riders.
Shayna and Briar are welcome
additions to the existing RWR
driver/rider roster and we can’t
wait to see what they can do.”
“We won a FIM World Supercross
Championship last year in our
first foray back into two-wheel
racing in over a decade. My
expectation is for this program
to be just as successful.”
Progressive AFT is sanctioned by
AMA Pro Racing, whose primary
investor is Jim France, CEO of
NASCAR, and headed up by
newly-named CEO, Gene Crouch.
“We’d like to extend a warm
welcome to Rick Ware Racing as
they join the Progressive AFT
family,” said Gene Crouch, CEO
of AMA Pro Racing. “RWR is an
extremely successful and
professional operation, and
there’s destined to be a great
deal of excitement as they enter
the sport backing two of our
most popular and talented riders
in Briar and Shayna.”
