44While Team Hammer was new in its role as Suzuki’s primary MotoAmerica racing program in 2020, it was far from new to the scene, or success. The 2020 season was Team Hammer’s 40th consecutive season of competition, dating back to 1980 when it was co-founded by privateer racers Bruce Hammer and John Ulrich. Former AMA Pro/ MotoAmerica Superbike racer (and team rider) Chris Ulrich now oversees operations, including rider scouting and recruitment.The team’s four-decade-run has seen it win more than 100 AMA Pro and MotoAmerica National races, take nearly 300 podiums, and earn nine AMA Pro/ MotoAmerica titles along with two FIM South American Championships. Predating its modern AMA Pro/ MotoAmerica era, the team won 13 Overall WERA National Endurance Championships in a 15-year run, with more than 135 overall endurance race wins, and multiple Formula USA titles to its name as well. Much of that success came as a direct result of the team’s remarkable success in scouting talent. Kevin Schwantz, Scott Russell, Ben Spies, John Hopkins, and Josh Hayes are but a few of the riders who started their careers with Team Hammer.Watch all episodes of from the team on the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki YouTube Channel: (108) M4 ECSTAR Suzuki - YouTubeTEAM SUZUKI RACING NEWSSean Dylan Kelly and Lucas Silva in hot battle for wins in MotoAmerica Supersports on their Suzuki GSX-R600 bikesBobby Fong podiums - under social distancing due to Covid-19Suzuki won the Manufacturer Championship in MotoAmerica 20202020 Winter IssueABOUT TEAM HAMMER MotoAmerica AMA Superbikes
