Josh Herrin will race his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R in a very special livery this weekend at the MotoAmerica Superbike tripleheader at Circuit of The Americas (COTA). During the three races, Herrin’s Ducati will wear bodywork made to resemble the Fast By Ferracci Ducati 888 that Troy Corser used to win the 1994 AMA Pro Superbike Championship 30 years ago.
“It’s the 30th anniversary of [Eraldo] Ferracci winning the AMA Superbike Championship and we wanted to celebrate him,” said Warhorse HSBK Racing Ductai Team Principal Bobby Shek. “We love the guy. He’s our mascot. So, we built the bike just like the last one he won on, and Josh [Herrin] is wearing the same [style of] leathers that Troy Corser was wearing.
“We’ve been talking about doing it for a long time. For almost a year we’ve been talking about doing a Ferracci-edition bike. The time felt right, and this is a nice track. We have a little bit of the Championship thing going on. It was just the right time.”
Herrin currently leads the MotoAmerica Championship point standings with five races remaining, and he can clinch the 2024 title this weekend at COTA.
