Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team backing Malcolm Stewart for Glendale Supercross

Brea, CA (January 24, 2018) – The Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team is pleased to announce that Malcolm Stewart will be returning for his third consecutive Supercross race on the factory Suzuki RM-Z450 this weekend. Stewart will join Weston Peick and Justin Bogle under the 450 awning at Glendale, Ariz. on Saturday.

The ever-popular Stewart has turned heads as a fill-in rider on the Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team, scoring back-to-back 11th place finishes after eight months away from racing. Malcolm’s talent, along with his positive attitude, made for an easy decision to provide support for Stewart this weekend.

“I couldn’t be happier to be with the Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team for another weekend! It’s been great working with these guys the past couple weeks,” stated Stewart. “Getting the opportunity to be with them for another race is awesome!”

Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing team manager, Jeremy Albrecht, is excited to work with Stewart again. “It has been great having Malcolm on the team. He gets along well with everyone, and he has a very positive attitude. We’re happy to say that he will be on the track this weekend and racing for the Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing Team.” With regard to the team’s future plans of working with Stewart, Albrecht explained, “We are currently exploring to see what our options are for Malcolm to be on the factory Suzuki RM-Z450 for more races.”

The fourth round of the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series will take place at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. on Saturday. The event will be broadcast live on FS1 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Meet the Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing team at RideNow Powersports in Peoria, Ariz. on Friday evening prior to the race.

Good for him, hopefully he can progress to the speed he showed early last year.

Let him ride the west coast 450 rounds and get race ready then put him on a 250F for the east coast and go after a championship! That's what I think... unless he's not eligible?

Ineligible. He was capped out before the rule change by his 2016 1E

The dude was battling. I dont see how he placed as poorly as he did in AZ. I was expecting to see him in top 10.

Thanks! I’m guessing no news yet is good news and maybe an announcement!? I sure hope it’s something good. I think that Malcolm can make 2918 interesting. The Predator

No, I didn't say that. I'm not sure if it worked out or not, just wait for the PR.

Check his lap times, he didn't drop anchor, he just never set sail. About 1-1.5 seconds off the top 10 pace.

That he is staying on the lead lap shows he is better this year already. Hope it works out where he can stay on the team the rest of the year.

Good on him.

Excited to see what he can do for the rest of the season... if he gets picked up for the rest of the season.
