Press release for immediate release

Indianapolis, IN. – February 23, 2022 – Jim Terchila & Bob Berry, under their recently re-branded Raffle Racing team, would like to welcome 2nd-year professional rider Ezra Brusky of Milwaukee, WI. to their team for the upcoming Progressive American Flat Track season. Brusky, in what will be his sophomore season in the AFT Singles Series, will become an official team rider for the team after receiving 'unofficial' help throughout his maiden year in 2021. Brusky's machines will carry the #35 based on his 16th-place finish (after qualifying in the 20th-place spot) in last year's Chicago Half-Mile round, after carrying the #135 last season.

“We felt like it would be a good opportunity to bring Ezra into the fold (& under the tent, so to speak) for this year to head up our branching out into a two-rider team for the 2022 season,” said Terchila. “Last season we all pitted together anyway & we were able to give Ezra & his Dad some mechanical help & knowledge where we were able to & as an up & coming rider in the very competitive class thought this would be a good time for us to expand our team with Ezra as a young, but very capable rider to build on our resources, while also continuing our upwards trajectory in the Production Twins Class. He & our 2nd-year rider Kasey Sciscoe, will also be able to build on Ezra's knowledge with Kasey's vast background riding singles as an amateur racer and the previous two seasons in the AFT professional ranks. We're going to have Kasey's Dad, Mike, over helping Ezra out with his big bag of tricks garnered over the years wrenching Kasey's singles machines, while Clayton Criswell will be handling the wrenching duties for Kasey.”

“I am super excited to join Raffle Racing in 2022 & up my game with a legend like Bob Berry & some great help in the pits from Mike Sciscoe & the rest of the Raffle Racing team,” stated Brusky, “and I also couldn't ask for a better person than Kasey Sciscoe to have as my first professional teammate. I hope to make at least half the AFT main events this season & qualify for the show in every race I enter this season. I am very honored to run #35 for the 2022 American Flat Track season in honor of Charlotte Kainz (who sadly passed away at the young age of 20 after a racing incident at Santa Rosa in September 2016), who I met at my first flat track race in 2010 at Aztalan Cycle Club before I had ever even ridden a motorcycle. I hope I can make her & Jack Kainz proud this year. I am lucky to have been supported by so many great people in District 16 over the years to get me to American Flat Track.”

“Our regular sponsors Thunder Pro, C&C Cycle & Cars and Western Power Sports' Fire Power division will continue to be our major sponsors for us again in the 2022 season, alongside Kasey's personal sponsors Dreyer Motorsports, KMA Racing & JG Lubricant Services & Ezra's personal sponsors Moto-Scoot Milwaukee, Gingras/Thomsen/Wachs Lawyers & Tom Loos Photography for his Honda CRF450F mounts. Ion Stear's 19 Cycle Works also provides sponsorship for Ezra as well as for our Mission Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines Kawasaki 650 Ninja-based mounts,” continued Terchila, “and we're really looking forward to kicking the new season off together on March 10-11 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, FL.”

Raffle Racing, with this new announcement, will be adding Brusky to their team as they branch out into the 2022 Parts Unlimited American Flat Track Singles presented by Kicker class. The team will again field rider Kasey Sciscoe in the Mission Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines class for the upcoming season set to kick off in Barberville, FL. on March 10-11.

2) Team co-owner Bob Berry (R) talks set up with AFT Singles Class rider & fellow Wisconsinite Ezra Brusky during a Progressive American Flat Track event during the 2021 season. Brusky received 'unofficial' help from Berry and his partner, Jim Terchila, as well as team wrenches Mike Sciscoe and Clayton Criswell throughout the 2021, "so bringing him 'under the tent' for the 2022 season seemed like a great fit for all" according to Terchila.

3) Ezra Brusky #135 prepares to roll out for a practice session at the Chicago Half-Mile in May '21 on his Brusky Racing Honda CRF450F. Brusky qualified in the 20th-place spot out of 36 riders at the Joliet-hosted round, and was able to make the main and garner an eventual 16th-place finish in order to gain his National number. He will wear the #35 for the 2022 season to honor one of his hero's, Charlotte Kainz, who tragically passed away after a racing incident at Santa Rosa in September '16. Brusky's addition to the Raffle Racing team will see the team field two riders in the AFT series, with Production Twins rider Kasey Sciscoe looking to build on his solid maiden voyage on a Twins machine in his initial season in '21.

Thanks to all for the support and Raffle Racing looks forward to seeing you all at the track in the 2022 season!
