Shayna Texter to sport new National Number for 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track season

February 16, 2015

WILLOW STREET, Pa (Feb. 16, 2015) – The 2014 AMA Pro Flat Track season was a memorable one for Shayna Texter. The first and only female winner in GNC2 history moved up to the GNC1 ranks last season to compete against the best riders the world has to offer in the AMA Pro Flat Track series. There were some highs and lows to the season, but Texter considers her rookie year a success.

“Last season was a roller coaster ride for me,” Texter said. “I had some good races where I felt really competitive, but I also had some bad luck with mechanicals and race tracks where I struggled. We worked hard all season to develop a new motorcycle and along the way I qualified for four main events in my rookie season. I learned a lot last year that I know will benefit me this season.”

Texter has been racing with number 25 since she started racing motorcycles. Her father, Randy Texter ran national number 25 from 1993-2000. Since, the number is unavailable at this time, she had to pick something new for the next chapter in her career. She will run number 52 this coming season.

“The number 25 has been really special to me over the course of my career and I will miss having it on the back of my leathers,” Texter stated. “I thought about running number 50 like I did at the Superprestigio, but I had some bad luck there so I figured that number wasn’t for me. I look forward to starting the 2015 season with number 52 on my motorcycles.”

Shayna will be competing with her new national number at Rounds 1 & 2 of the AMA Pro Flat Track Series on March 12th-13th in Daytona Beach, Fla., aboard her DFW Honda/Crosley Radio/McElroy Packaging CRF 450.

She is still finalizing her 2015 twins program and will make an announcement in the near future.
