New AMA Pro Racing Superbike Operations Manager Gary Mathers was asked at Laguna Seca Friday about the new chain of command since he was hired. In response, Mathers said, “I work for Merrill (Vanderslice, AMA Pro Racing Director of Competition), and Ron (Barrick) reports to me.”

Barrick formerly held the title of AMA Superbike Operations Manager. Barrick’s new title has not been determined yet.
