Team Honda HRC has announced Kehoe will step down as manager of the US factory Honda team, a position he has held since 2018. Kehoe was also manager of the Honda team from 2002 to 2012.\r\n\r\nKehoe started his career as a Honda-backed professional racer in the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s. During Kehoe\u2019s management tenure, the team earned five AMA Pro National Motocross Championships and two AMA Supercross Championships. Most recently, he worked with Jett Lawrence who just wrapped up the AMA Pro Motocross 250 Championship.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis decision to retire was very difficult, but at the same time, I know it\u2019s time to slow down my pace,\u201d Kehoe said. \u201cI would like to thank American Honda, and [Manager of Sports & Experiential] Brandon Wilson in particular, for giving me the chance to return to the team this last time. I really wanted to help get Honda some positive momentum in supercross and motocross, and this past season, I think the team has enjoyed many successes. I\u2019ve truly enjoyed my time here, but it\u2019s time to focus on some personal projects that I\u2019ve been putting off for some time.\u201d\r\n\r\nA replacement for Kehoe has not yet been named.","excerpt":"Erik Kehoe has been around motocross for decades.
