Nick Wey gets Team Suzuki factory offer
Racer X has learned that Moto XXX privateer Yamaha rider Nick Wey has been approached by Team Suzuki about replacing the injured Kevin Windham on the 250cc SoBe Suzuki factory team. Wey, who has previously ridden for the Splitfire/Pro Circuit Kawasaki and Yamaha of Troy semi-factory teams, was left without a ride this year after pointing out of the 125 class for supercross. He has been riding well for the Moto XXX and is currently tied for ninth in the EA Sports Supercross Series. If all goes according to plan, Wey will begin riding Windham's factory RM250 this weekend at Houston and will stay with the team throughout the 2002 season. He will be joined by Travis Pastrana as soon as Pastrana is off the disabled list due to a chronic sinus problem that required surgery (and having his tonsils removed). Wey's fellow privateer Robbie Reynard was also said to have been approached by he team but a deal could not be reached. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
