Bombshell - Broaster Chicken/Road Race Factory have partnered with American Honda to run Jake Gagne in the superbike class on a new CBR1000RR SP2! This is going down live right now on MotoAmerica's facebook page!
Yamalube has been their title sponsor for the last couple of years and it looks like they are continuing with their support.
They're mentioning now that they intend to run a second rider and possibly a Superstock 1000 team in the future. This is a multi-year deal with Honda and they plan on growing as each year goes.
Negative ghost rider. The American Honda rep stated in the same press conference that they will continue to support him in the supersport class this year.
I think it's likely we'll see Benny on a CBR1000 SSTK machine in 2018. Close ties with American Honda.

He definitely earned any opportunity that maight come along. He road the wheels of that cbrsix last season. I think Honda should put him on the new fire blade in super stock.
