DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (August 3, 2015) - Former road race champion team owner, Richie Morris, announced today that he and female phenomenon, Shayna Texter have signed a multi-year agreement to compete in AMA Pro Flat Track. The team’s debut will be August 4th at Black Hills Speedway in the Harley-Davidson GNC1 presented by Vance & Hines premier class.

Richie Morris Racing (RMR) and Texter will complete the remainder of 2015 together and on through 2016.

“I feel the time is right to bring a race team back to the national level,” says Morris. “At the present, AMA Pro Flat Track is one of the hottest forms of racing in the United States. Add the international attention being received, along with the renewed interest of all motorcycle manufacturers, it is unprecedented. In short, its go time! As far as Shayna, she is a little bad ass! I raced with her dad, so I know what is in her DNA. She, like any rider, needs a proper motorcycle and team around her to compete at this level. It will be RMR’s goal to deliver that to her.”

The team will be sponsored in 2015 by long-time Texter supporter, McElroy Packaging. Also, Roland Sands Design (RSD), will make its debut as a sponsor in the AMA Pro Flat Track Series by supporting the team.

"As a long time supporter of Shayna Texter, we are proud to be associated with RMR and this new chapter in Shayna’s career,” stated Steve McElroy, Vice President of McElroy Packaging.


"The crew at Roland Sands Design is proud to partner with Shayna Texter and Richie Morris Racing for the remainder of the AMA Pro Flat Track schedule”, stated Roland Sands. "Shayna is the future female face of flat track and with Roland Sands helping to push flat track to new audiences, we're hoping to grow the support and excite new fans about dirt sliding”.

There’s no denying that the public opinion of Texter is overwhelmingly positive on all fronts within the AMA Pro Flat Track paddock and community, as she has established herself as not only a fast motorcycle racer, but more importantly, an amazing human being. RMR’s decision to bring on the 24-year-old Willow Street, Pa., native presents an excellent opportunity for Texter, RMR and its supporters for 2015, 2016 and beyond.


“I am very excited for the opportunity to put my professional career back on track!” says Texter. “ What RMR has accomplished in the past speaks for itself. The fact that Richie and my dad raced together for years just adds to the cool factor!

Texter’s ability to perform at the highest level when she’s armed with the proper equipment has been made apparent over the years. In 2013, she shredded GNC2 competition at both Springfield Miles when she recorded both victories by a combined landslide. Texter also won at Sacramento and Indianapolis miles that same year!

In addition to signing Texter for the remainder of 2015 and all of 2016, RMR is expected to sign another AMA Pro Flat Track athlete for the upcoming 2016 season.

While Texter will continue to compete on her Kawasaki in 2015, the decision has yet to be determined as to which manufacturer she or her future teammate will ride in 2016.

The team hauler will located at Black Hills Harley Davidson (Today) Monday, August 3rd. Shayna will be there from 2-4 p.m. signing autographs.
