The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team is pleased to announce the two-year signing of RJ Hampshire to compete in the 250cc division of AMA Supercross and the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship through the 2021 race season.

The Florida native captured his first-career overall victory at the 2017 FIM MXGP of USA from Florida's WW Ranch Motocross Park, and went on to claim his first Pro Motocross triumph at the 2018 Budds Creek National. Most recently, Hampshire finished fourth overall in both the AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 250 Class Championship, and looks to build upon that success next season.

Hampshire previously rode for GEICO Honda after turning pro at the tail end of the 2014 season.
