Argo Cycles’ Scott Greenwood, the reigning Formula USA Sportbike Champion and the current 2004 Sportbike Championship leader, will skip the next F-USA round at VIR June 26-27 in order to race with the Corona Extra Suzuki team at the AMA event in Brainerd, Minnesota the same weekend.

“After Road America, Tim (Saunders, Corona Extra Suzuki team principal) said he wanted me to ride at Brainerd,” 31-year-old Greenwood told Roadracingworld.com Saturday at New Hampshire International Speedway. “I told him I had a conflicting event, and I had to get back to him. I talked to all of the people who support me, and my biggest supporters said to do what’s in my best interest.

“I think it’s a unique opportunity to get my foot in the door and get my name out there. I definitely would like to have the opportunity to ride for a team rather than deal with this stuff every weekend, stuff breaking, pulling motors, finding volunteer crew members, etc. I have a good program going, but I’d like the opportunity to concentrate on my riding.

“There’s a possibility I could stay with the team if Marty (Craggill) doesn’t come back. There’s a possibility they’ll keep me even if Marty does come back. Then there’s the possibility they won’t keep me at all.

“If things don’t pan out at Brainerd and I have a good weekend here (at NHIS), I can jump back into the (F-USA) series. I won’t be too much behind.”
