DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Real Steel Motorsports with the support of American Honda and Southern Honda Powersports are excited to announce Hayden Gillim will be returning to defend the number one plate in the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championship series on the Steel Commander/Comstock Energy/Southern Honda Powersports/American Honda on the team’s Honda CBR1000RR-R SP.
With a pedigree in racing second to none, Honda returns to the MotoAmerica paddock in 2024 with factory and dealer support of Gillim to restamp his claim to the Stock 1000 title. With Honda’s support and Gillim’s proven race craft and dogged determination on the track, 2024 will be both exciting and rewarding as Gillim pushes the limits of the new CBR1000RR-R SP.

Returning this year Gillim intends to go back-to-back in both championship series. “I’m very excited about this season,” said Gillim. “It’s been a long road to get where we are with this program. I feel with the backing from Comstock Energy, Steel Commander, Southern Powersports Honda and American Honda it’s going to be a great year. Learning the Honda and getting it up to speed, for me, will be a lot of fun, and is a great opportunity to backup the championship from last year.”
“The Southern Honda Powersports team are honored and excited to be supporting Hayden in this year’s Stock 1000 championship run,” said David Carmody, General Manager of Southern Honda Powersports. “Working with a proven rider of Hayden’s talent and speed will be the perfect fit for featuring the new Fireblade in Honda’s return to the MotoAmerica series.
