"We view this as an endorsement of the high caliber of our company and personnel, and we will bring the same level of effort toward making this new enterprise a success as we have in our past championship-winning racing efforts.
"We are bringing on Rick Mitchell to head up this new program, and he’s a longtime industry veteran with loads of experience and a huge passion for the sport.
"He’s spent his entire working life in the motorcycle industry, most notably 24 years in the Parts and Accessories Division at American Honda, so he certainly has a wealth of experience in working with sales, inventory, promotions and more-just a great fit for what we’re doing with Dunlop."
Mitchell says: "I’m really excited about joining the Erion team and working in this capacity. I enjoyed my road racing experience way back in the day, and I’ve never lost touch with the excitement and energy that you always find at the track. This is a great match for all involved, and I’m looking forward to this new endeavor."
