CompetitionPlus.com has learned that Matt Smith will return to Suzuki in 2009 as the rider for Don Schumacher Racing's new Suzuki Hyabusa project. The interesting part of the deal is that Smith will continue his Nitrofish sponsorship under the Schumacher umbrella. Team owner Don Schumacher would not confirm, nor deny the rumor other than to say his new rider will be announced on either Friday or Saturday pending the completion of paperwork.
