Vance & Hines Motorsports, a leading force in the world of motorcycle racing, is thrilled to announce that it will again field 2023 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion Gaige Herrera on a RevZilla\/Mission\/Vance & Hines Suzuki in the 2024 Mission Foods Drag Racing Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herrera will be paired with veteran racer Richard Gadson, who is set to join the squad for what will be his rookie season of NHRA Pro Stock racing. Herrera won a record-breaking 11 races in the 2023 NHRA Pro Stock series and earned his first World Championship while posting a win-loss record of 50-4 over the course of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herrera\u2019s title was the 14th overall NHRA Championship for Vance & Hines as he joined Eddie Krawiec (four titles) and brothers Andrew (six titles) and Matt Hines (three titles) in earning championships on V&H machinery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though we had an exceptional year in 2023, I know that next season will be more difficult,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cThe rest of the class will be gunning for me, and it definitely won\u2019t be easy. But, with that being said, I also know I\u2019ve got a team behind me that never stops working and it\u2019s a team that has proven time and time again to be the best in the championship. We will show up ready to go and I\u2019m looking forward to defending my title.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gadson, meanwhile, will be embarking on his first full season of NHRA Pro Stock racing after earning titles in XDA, NHDRO, SEMDRA and ManCup. The 37-year-old will benefit greatly by the fact that Krawiec is hanging up his leathers and will become his full-time crew chief alongside Andrew Hines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am honored to join Vance & Hines, a team with a winning history and a commitment to pushing the limits,\u201d Gadson said. \u201cI believe that together we can be successful, and I am excited to contribute my skills and experience to the team. There were moments when reaching my goal of racing an NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle seemed impossible. My road was filled with twists, turns, and doubts, but knowing Eddie (Krawiec) for many years and also finding ways to stay involved with the class made it possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled about the next chapter for our NHRA racing program,\u201d said Vance & Hines Motorsports owner Terry Vance. \u201cWith Andrew (Hines) and Eddie\u2019s (Krawiec) expertise, Gaige\u2019s (Herrera) recent dominance, and Richard\u2019s (Gadson) move to Pro Stock, we have strengthened our position in the competitive world of NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle racing. We also have a new title sponsor in RevZilla and continued support from Mission and Suzuki for 2024. I can\u2019t wait to see what Gaige and Richard can do on our RevZilla\/Mission\/Suzuki Hayabusas.\u201d<\/p>\n
