Jake Canada and Ben Lamay have been drafted into the MotoConcepts Racing race team after the team fired Frenchman Christophe Pourcel a week ago.

Regular team member Kyle Chisholm is sidelined and still recovering from his infamous crash in Houston where he bruised a lung. He is still having problems breathing and getting 100% healthy so he will sit out some races to continue to recover. MotoConcepts decided to give a chance to two deserving privateers that are doing good in the AMA Motocross Nationals this year.

"We, at MotoConcepts, are all about racing and are excited to give a chance to privateers who are showing heart, speed and dedication with limited support" says owner Mike Genova.

"Jake Canada showed up in Lakewood and surprised a lot of people with a 9th overall, myself included" states David Vuillemin, MotoConcepts Team Manager.

"Ben Lamay has been getting consistent results and is in 16th in the stacked 450 class. When we decided that Kyle Chisholm needed some time off to heal up, Mike Genova and I decided to go ahead and find riders who needed help. I am confidant we can help Jake and Ben with our equipment and knowledge," Vuillemin continued.

Jake and Ben will make their debut this Saturday at the Red Bud National.
