Westley, MA – Russell Buccheri made his second professional appearance at The Wick 338 over the weekend, marking a significant return to a track where he honed his skills during his youth. Competing in the latest round of the Pro Motocross series, Buccheri finished with results of 29th and 32nd in the motos, placing him 31st overall.
Having raced at The Wick 338 on 85cc bikes in his formative years, Buccheri expressed gratitude for the presence of family, friends, and supporters during the event. "It’s definitely really cool to be able to have a bunch of fans come up at the local races, the hometown races, and sign some autographs," he stated in a post-race interview.
