American hotshot Brandon Paasch is set to make his first Pirelli National Superstock Championship appearance this weekend, as he joins the Hawk Racing ranks at Brands Hatch on the team's VisionTrack Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
The 21-year-old is no stranger to UK circuits having won the 2019 British Motostar Championship and competed in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship in the past.
The twice Daytona 200 champion is also no stranger to superstock-spec GSX-R machinery, following a strong campaign in MotoAmerica this season that saw end the year in fourth in the standings.
Paasch said: "I'm super-pumped to be riding Suzuki over here this weekend. Obviously, I know the circuits on a smaller bike but I've never raced in the Superstock class in the UK before. But after a season on the superstock bike in America I feel ready to go, and I'm excited to see where we stack up against the best guys in the class over here.
“I can't thank the Hawk Racing team enough for the opportunity and, thanks to Shane Byrne and all my sponsors for making it happen."
