Dalton Gauthier to Race for Royal Enfield at Orange County Half-Mile

Sent on behalf of Royal Enfield 

 

Royal Enfield has named Dalton Gauthier as the replacement rider in the upcoming Orange County Half-Mile in Middletown, New York as Johnny Lewis continues to recover after an injury at the Ventura Half-Mile. Gauthier will be hitting the track at the Orange County Speedway to compete in the sixth Mission AFT SuperTwins event of Progressive American Flat Track season on Saturday, June 15th.

 

A native of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, Gauthier turned pro in 2015 and is widely regarded as one of the most naturally talented riders in the sport. Nicknamed “Go-Time”, Gauthier is well known for his stunning performance in the 2016 Arizona Half-Mile and is currently tied for third all-time in singles wins.

 

“We’re wishing Johnny a speedy recovery but, in the meantime, we’re stoked for Dalton to step in and get behind the handlebars, ” said Adrian Sellers, Head - Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield. “It’s no easy feat to jump into the middle of the season, but there aren’t many racers with Go-Time’s resume. Dalton is a fantastic racer and a true professional. We’re glad to have him on the team.”

 

Lewis, who is Royal Enfield’s lead rider for the Mission AFT SuperTwins class, will manage the team at the Orange County Half-Mile. The founder and owner of Moto Anatomy, Lewis has played an essential role in putting Royal Enfield on the Progressive American Flat Track map, helping to develop, campaign, and win on the marque’s Twins FT motorcycle.
