Celtic Racing and Warhorse HSBK Racing are proud to announce their return to the MotoAmerica Supersport grid in 2025 under the banner Celtic/Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati.
Headed by Team Manager Barry Gilsenan, the squad fields a strong two-rider lineup featuring #45 Cameron Peterson and #272 Wristin Grigg, marking Celtic Racing’s comeback to MotoAmerica after a five-year hiatus.
Petersen showcased his prowess in the premier Superbike class in 2024 with multiple victories, including a nail-biting triumph at Road America where he edged out his competition by just 0.004 seconds in challenging wet conditions. Although injuries hindered his ability to contend for the championship, Petersen demonstrated resilience, concluding the season in sixth place overall with 110 points. Now fully recovered, he is shifting his focus to the 2025 Supersport season and aims to build a competitive pace and achieve consistency to secure another championship for Ducati in MotoAmerica.
“I’m excited to get the chance to race for the 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport title with the Celtic/Economy Lube & Tire Powered by Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati,” Petersen said. “The Panigale V2 has won two of the last three Supersport titles and it looks like a ton of fun to ride. I can’t wait to get started and the season can’t come quick enough.”
Grigg, meanwhile, made an impressive 2024 debut in the MotoAmerica Supersport Series, earning several strong finishes, including an 11th place at Mid-Ohio and a personal best ninth at New Jersey. Grigg’s rookie year also featured two expert National Titles at Daytona, highlighted by his AMA 600 Title, which underscored his adaptability and potential on road courses. With his 2024 performances fueling his motivation, Grigg is determined to refine his racecraft and rise through the ranks in the coming season. Leveraging Warhorse HSBK Racing’s Ducati expertise – as recent winners of the Supersport Championship (2022 & 2023) and the Daytona 200 (2023 & 2024) – as well as the proven support of Grigg Electric and Economy Lube & Tire, the team aims to contend for podiums with a push for the 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.
