BREA, CA – December 31, 2022 – Suzuki Motor USA, LLC is pleased to announce its continued support for the BarX Suzuki 250-class race team. The BarX Suzuki team is ready to attack the 2023 Supercross season with several new and returning riders for the 2023 season.
Derek Drake and Carson Mumford return to BarX Suzuki for 2023 and are joined by two new teammates, Robbie Wageman and Ty Masterpool.
Both Drake and Mumford are looking to push their Suzuki RM-Z250s toward the top of the standings. Mumford, from Simi Valley CA, competed in the 2022 Supercross 250 West championship, finishing 12th. Drake, hailing from San Luis Obispo, CA finished tenth in the Supercross 250 West championship in 2022.
Newcomers to the BarX team are Wageman and Masterpool who are both showing great potential aboard the Suzuki RM-Z in pre-season testing. Wageman, from Newhall, CA, finished ninth in the Supercross championship last season and is looking to break into the top tier of the championship. Masterpool, from Paradise, TX, in only his second season in Supercross is excited to put more RM-Zs in competition.

BarX has also announced Buddy Antunez as their new Team Manager. “I’m excited to be a part of the BarX Suzuki program. I believe with our team and rider lineup; we will be battling for top spots this coming season. Let’s go!”, Antunez stated.

The BarX Suzuki team will be aboard the race-ready 2023 RM-Z250.
BarX Suzuki is excited to compete in 2023 and looks forward to seeing all the RM-Army faithful throughout the 2023 Supercross season. The season begins at Angel Stadium on January 7th, 2023, for Anaheim 1.
Budman and Suzuki go together like Lamb and Tunafish
Suzuki haters been quite lately
Roczen is gonna win and I'm stuck with a green bike. Life can be cruel sometimes.
What changed ? Besides KR took the money from HEP. If anyone thinks these riders can podium besides KR you are crazy.

Budman is the best. Budman likes to party in Temecula.

So you must think these riders can podium on another brand of bike then? Otherwise I'm failing to understand the point of that comment.
Glad to see Masterpool is a full time member of the team. The way I read the original post from a couple of weeks ago, it sounded like he was just a fill-in for Mumford.
Don’t put words in my mouth, it’s a 180 from last year, gunna be quite a bit of yellow out there this year
You can identify as anything you want to these days lol
Get back in mum’s basement.
When I see Antunez and Suzuki I click on it faster than a liberal clicks on Trump..
Oh my god…is it Saturday yet
I live in my camper, sir. What is your fabulous living situation, that inherently makes your existence and opinions so much more valuable than mine?
Barx bikes are always one of the best looking bikes on the track.
Budman is a great guy, wish him the best of luck on his new gig !
Lots of positives for the Suzuki programs this year.
Pit Row

Tyler is exempt from following any and all grammatical conventions. Same goes for Professional125.
Interesting that Racerx says Drake and Mumford might be East coast for Bar X.
NEWBIE eh?
*profeshenal125
Really good to see you Pop in here tylermx967 and awesome that Roczen is on Yellow now. We all enjoy a good ol Suzuki running in the top 5.
Bring on A1...yeeeehaaaa
I see Gollum has been here for 7 odd months so I reckon it's his first time seeing a post from tyler.
Tyler is a Legend on Vital...and it's alway nice when he pops in for a chirp.
On this account, yes.
Let's see if I can put this a way you can understand.
When tyler967 sees an RM anywhere, whether it be trackside, video, a picture, or even hears "suzuki, rm, yellow bike", or the name of any rider currently riding The aforementioned machinery, he can only have one all consuming thought,
MY PRECIOUS!!!
that’s one sexxxy machine BUT Suzukis always stand out on the track
