Five-time Daytona 200 winner Russell said, “We are excited about expanding the roster as we enter our second year. Adding a Brit and a South African gives us an international flavor. Whether it is two wheels or four, dirt or asphalt, we all use bicycles as a major part of our training methods. I am looking forward to some epic rides with my new teammates.”
