JUSTIN BRAYTON ANNOUNCES FAREWELL TOUR & SWITCH BACK TO MOTO CONCEPTS HONDA TEAM

Justin Brayton and the MotoConcepts Honda team have answered some serious questions and rumors that have been floating around the industry about the future of the MotoConcepts Honda team and about Justin Brayton’s racing career as well. We weren’t sure if MCR would be racing Supercross in 2022, but now we’re glad to see they will, and they’ll have Justin Brayton flying the MCR flag once again after he rode for them in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

In the past two seasons, Justin has continued his Supercross-only racing schedule and he’s ridden for the factory HRC Honda team alongside Ken Roczen in 2020 and for the Australian owned Muc-Off Honda team in 2021. Now, at 37-years old, Justin is preparing to start his 20th season as a Pro. We currently don’t have any information on if the Muc-Off team will race American Supercross in 2022.

“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 team’s enthusiasm to be back under the MCR tent. “Mike Genova and I have had a great relationship from the time we met, and I’m excited to be back alongside him and the MCR team. I’ve learned a lot from him not only at the races but outside of racing as well. We’ve maintained our close friendship the past couple of years, even when I haven’t been on the team. My trust in Tony Alessi as the team manager is very high, so I couldn’t be happier to be back with the team that helped me win the Daytona Supercross. It’s an exciting time in my career,” said Brayton

Justin Brayton won his first 450 Supercross Main Event at Daytona in 2018 with the MotoConcepts team.

The 2022 Supercross season represents Justin’s twentieth season as a professional racer. He has gained unparalleled experience and knowledge making Brayton a team manager’s ideal rider with which to work. “It is an honor to have Justin on the MCR race team for the 2022 Supercross race season and brings back fond memories of our work together during the race-winning 2018 Daytona Supercross season. As this is slated to be Justin’s 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 Alessi’s hope and 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 caliber in every category, fits the belief system, and models what MCR is about foundationally. I’m excited to work with Justin again and am confident we’re going to be competitive while having a lot of fun during the 2022 season,” said Genova.”
