Ben LaMay has signed with BLUE Buffalo/Slater Skins Yamaha to contest the entire 2016 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. He will make his debut in the 450 Class this weekend at Round 2 of the championship from Glen Helen.

LaMay raced just six rounds of the championship in 2015. His best finish was sixteenth overall at RedBud, Unadilla and the Utah National.

The Alaska native spent 2016 racing AMSOIL Arenacross with the TiLUBE Honda team. He finished sixth overall in the Race to the Championship with three main event wins on the season.

"When I got the call from the BLUE Buffalo/Slater Skins Yamaha team I was super excited to get back on a Yamaha 450 and race the outdoors nationals," said LaMay, who has previously ridden for CycleTrader.com/Rock River Yamaha. "I am pumped to be a part of such a great up and coming team and look forward to getting some awesome results this season."
