Motocross champion signs development contract with MB2

Thursday, October 12, 2006

Ricky Carmichael, an American Motorcyclist Association national champion, has signed a multiyear agreement with Bobby Ginn-owned MB2 Motorsports.

Carmichael will compete in the team's development program beginning in 2007, with a combination of approximately 15 events in late model stock cars, ARCA and possibly the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The program will be accelerated in 2008, according to the team.

Carmichael, 26, is also planning to run an abbreviated Supercross and motocross schedule next year with Team Makita Suzuki Racing.

"To race in NASCAR has always been a dream of mine," said Carmichael. "This is a new challenge, and I have no illusions that the transition will be easy. I truly understand the difficulties that are ahead. But I am committed to do whatever it takes to eventually make it to the Cup series."
