Crevier competing at Road America

From SunTrust MOTO-ST Series

When Round 3 of the SunTrust MOTO-ST Series swings into gear at Road America this weekend, four local Buell teams will be looking to shine at their hometown track.

Ready to fight the battle for victory in the Buell Motorcycle Company SuperSport Twins class (SST) is Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Racing team headquartered in Elkhart Lake, WI. Managed by Richie Morris, this team debuted the new Buell 1125R at the season opener in Daytona.

“We suffered a couple of minor teething problems at the first two rounds,” explains Morris. “But I think we have things sorted out now and Road America should be a good race for us.

"Piloting our Buell this time out will be Shawn Higbee and Steve Crevier, who is subbing for Mike Smith who has a broken right wrist. It is unfortunate that Mike will miss his first chance to ride the 1125. He rode our XB12 in the BMW GrandSport Twins class at Virginia International Raceway and was a huge factor in the win.

"However, we are definitely lucky that Steve is available. He is an outstanding rider and is familiar with the bike. I know he and Shawn will be a good combination.”

A resident of Maple Ridge, BC, Crevier, who will celebrate his 43rd birthday this month, is the most successful racer in Canadian Superbike history. He also has four national 600cc crowns to his credit and was the AMA 600cc Supersport champion in 1998.

Just two weeks ago Crevier produced one of his most impressive performances, taking his Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada/Ruthless Racing Buell 1125R to a third place debut finish in the opening round of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship.
