Mathew Pombo commented, "For Mark and I racing is a family endeavor, and to be back racing with our i-MOTO family is something we are very, very excited about.

The members of this team mean the world to us and they have proven that they can compete every weekend.

After the bad luck we had last year with Mark's accident it is already a winning season to hopefully have him back running with me at some point this year.

I have to thank Glenn for working so hard at putting this deal together and I cannot wait to get to Daytona and get the 2013 season under way."
