MotoAmerica: Brandon Paasch to take the reins of the Altus Motorsports Stock1000 GSX-R1000R for the MotoAmerica 2022 Season
(Altus, OK) For the past two seasons, Altus Motorsports has taken home the MotoAmerica Stock1000 and Superbike Cup Championships. Each year with a different rider — Cameron Peterson in 2020 and Jake Lewis in 2021. Both riders joined the team with boatloads of talent but in need of a strong team to help them to reach their true potential. And they did.
For 2022, Altus is looking for the three-peat. True to form, they have signed another immensely talented rider. After a year of racing British Supersport, Brandon Paasch is returning to the U.S. and moving up to a liter bike. Paasch is no stranger to MotoAmerica or the podium. In 2016, he won the MotoAmerica KTM Cup. In 2020 he finished the season third in the MotoAmerica Supersport class with podium finishes in almost every round. He started 2021 by winning the Daytona 200 and then spent the season racing in England.
“It’s going to be an amazing year. I am stoked to have this opportunity. It will be great to have a good team and a good group of people around me. Altus has the experience and has proven they can win. For them to believe in me gives me a big confidence boost. We have one goal: win,” said Brandon Paasch
“We enter this season with the intention of winning Stock1000 and the Superbike Cup again. Cam and Jake were amazing the last two years and we were proud to be a part of their progression. For this year, we are thrilled to have Brandon on the bike. We’ve watched him for years and seen what he can do. There will be a learning curve moving to the bigger bike but we are going to get out and do as much testing as we can to be as prepared as possible when the season starts,” said team owner George Nassaney.
