This Sunday marks the 15th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks that shocked the world in New York City, and the #RideHVMC Freeman Racing Ducati outfit will be paying their own tribute after unveiling this beautiful color scheme for Alexander’s #23 Ducati 1199 Panigale R Superstock 1000 racer.
Corey will be sporting black and yellow leathers in the same guise as the F.D.N.Y (New York City Fire Department), a one-off design from Spidi direct from Italy for this weekend’s race. Additionally, #RideHVMC Freeman Racing Ducati will have event shirts available for sale, with all profits being donated to the 9/11 Memorial Foundation.
“Every year our home race at New Jersey Motorsport Park falls near September 11th, and so this year when we realized the dates aligned and race day (Sunday) fell on the 11th, we felt it was absolutely necessary to do something to really honor the brave men and women of the F.D.N.Y.,” said Alexander. “Being a New Yorker my entire life, I can remember the exact day of the tragedy. At the time only being seven-years-old, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the events unfolding. Though I did feel the magnitude of the events then, I continue to feel the impact it had on our city, our state, and our country. With the help of our team painter Lance, graphics company Signs Ink, and leather sponsor Spidi Sport, I’m excited to bring our vision come to life. It’s a tremendous honor to showcase this special livery, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!”
