Kerr to continue with AMD into 2023 Superstock season

Following a successful second season with Richard Kerr, AMD Motorsport will contest the 2023 Pirelli National Superstock Championship with the Irish rider once again. Kerr, from Kilmacrennan in County Donegal, finished fifth in the 2022 series aboard a 1000cc AMD Motorsport Honda, which included two wins at both Knockhill and Donington Park as well as clinching the Sunflower Trophy at Bishopscourt at the end of the season Team owners Fraser and Mary Dykes will again oversee the challenge from their Dumfries base where they run a plant hire and contracting business servicing the construction and forestry sectors throughout the UK and will provide the 22-year-old with a brand-new Jackson Racing-prepared Honda Fireblade for the 11-round series with Simon Bleasdale remaining as Crew Chief. The opening round of the Pirelli National Superstock Championship takes place at Silverstone over Easter (7-9 April). Meanwhile, Kerr has been keeping busy by contesting the Supermoto Northern Ireland Winter Series which he currently leads on 139 points. Two wins and a third at the opening round at Nutts Corner was followed by another victory and two seconds at round two at Kirkistown whilst he also took victory in the Philip Wiley Memorial race. The final two rounds are set to take place in early 2023. “I’m really happy to be staying with AMD Motorsport and am very much looking forward to working with Fraser and Mary for a third successive season,” said Kerr.

“We’ve made good progress each year with this season, in particular, being very successful with a number of wins and podiums and a strong fifth overall in the championship. Working with Simon for the first time, we learnt a lot, both in terms of ourselves and the Honda Fireblade and
