Corey Alexander is a survivor. Born into a motorcycle-dealership-owning family and with an uncle who was an AMA professional road racer and 750 Supersport Champion, a team manager, and is still in the MotoAmerica paddock, Alexander has been involved in motorcycle road racing virtually his entire life. He’s withstood the slings and arrows of the sport, and he’s toughed it out through the hardscrabble existence of being a privateer.<\/p>

He won the AMA Pro SuperSport East Championship in 2013 and progressed to MotoAmerica Supersport, then Superstock 1000, and finally Superbike before taking a brief hiatus and even trying his hand at American Flat Track racing. Returning to the MotoAmerica series in 2019, Alexander was immediately successful in the Stock 1000 Championship, notching 12 wins and 26 podiums in four years that culminated in him winning the 2022 Stock 1000 title.<\/p>

Last year, Alexander raced exclusively in Superbike as the third member of Tytlers Cycle Racing where he capped off the season with podium results in the final two Superbike races of the 2023 MotoAmerica season, at New Jersey Motorsports Park.<\/p>

Yet, despite his success this past season, Alexander quickly realized that he was going to have to look for another option if he was going to keep racing in MotoAmerica. He and his Uncle Richie put their heads together as they’ve done throughout Alexander’s impressively long racing career, and their business relationships led to a Supersport ride with Rahal Ducati Moto.<\/p>

I had a conversation with Corey Alexander last week about the new opportunity he put together for the upcoming 2024 MotoAmerica season, and here’s how it went:<\/p>

Q:<\/strong><\/p>

We had some insight as to who might be Rahal Ducati Moto’s riders, but it never dawned on us that it was going to be a three-rider team. So, when you were announced, it was a huge surprise, especially when we talked to Graham about it. He gave us a little bit of the background on how it came about, but can you tell us from your perspective how the deal came together?<\/p>
