These rumors have been floating around the pits for some time now, but now it is finally official: after four successful years, Will Hahn is leaving his role as team manager of the 250 Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha team.
Hahn, who rode for the team from 2007-2008, joined the team as team manager in 2017 and played an instrumental role in helping the team capture seven championships.
The spilt appears amicable, as Star is moving operations to the GOAT Farm and we’ve heard that Hahn wanted to stay in California. He’s likely to emerge in a new role with a different team soon. Stay tuned on that announcement.
Hahn will be replaced by Seth Rarick, who will takeover the 250 manager position effective immediately. Rarick has previously worked with the Star Racing team as an assistant trainer to Gareth Swanepoel and most recently worked with several of the sports top racers at the Bakers Factory.
“I have enjoyed working with Wil Hahn for the past four seasons and will miss having him around,” said Jeremy Coker, 450 Team Manager, Star Racing. “I’m glad to have Seth [Rarick] back with the program and look forward to helping him grow within the program. He will assist me in the management of this amazing program and hopefully continue our powerhouse championship-winning path.”
“I’m very excited to be back with the Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing team. I have a much different role this time around, but I’m ecstatic to expand my horizons as well as provide my knowledge and experience to such an established team,” said Rarick. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity and everyone here for trusting and believing in me. I need to thank Aldon Baker for being so gracious and kind to me when this opportunity came up as well as Wil Hahn for helping me get caught up to speed so quickly. I’m looking forward to continuing the success that Star has had for so many years!”
