American Beta announced today that it has signed off-road specialist Cory Buttrick of Logan, Ohio, to a contract for the 2014 racing season.
Cory Buttrick, 22, has signed a deal with American Beta to campaign a Beta two-stroke in the Kenda AMA National Enduro Series presented by Moose Racing in 2014. Buttick, from Logan, Ohio, said that he looking forward to next year and that he healthy and prepared for the season.
“I’m very honored to have this opportunity to represent Beta and give them the recognition they deserve in the United States,” Buttrick said. “This is the first time I have been 100% healthy since the end of 2010, so I have my goals set on a championship.”
Buttrick will ride a specially prepared Factory Beta 300 RR and will join Beta teammate Justin Sode at the season opener in South Carolina on March 2. He will also contest a few select Amsoil GNCC rounds aboard a Beta 450 RR four-stroke. Buttrick’s race bikes will be built at the American Beta headquarters with the suspension being tuned by Stillwell Performance.
American Beta’s Tim Pilg said that the company is excited to add Buttrick to the team.
“I have watched him for a few years and saw the potential for sure,” Pilg said. “He is hungry to win and that is what we need in the Enduro series. I feel with Cory on our 300 and Justin on the 250, we have a great chance of turning some heads out there. We have a very complete team, with Cody Webb and Max Gerston on the West coast, Ron Purvines and his team in the desert, and Justin and Cory in the East. It will help show our future customers that Beta is here to stay.”
