Seen here racing a Suzuki GSX-R1000 last April at Road Atlanta, Elena Myers Court has landed a new sales position with her former Superbike title sponsor, McGraw Powersports.

When Elena Myers Court failed to secure sponsorship for the 2016 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Championship and opted to put her road-racing career on hold, the 22-year-old newlywed began looking for employment within the motorcycle industry.

On Monday, McGraw Powersports announced that Myers has been hired to manage the company’s dealership network in the Pacific Northwest. McGraw was the title sponsor for Myers’ 2015 MotoAmerica Superbike program.

Myers finished fifth overall last season in Superbike, the highest placing by a woman in the 39-year history of the class. She is also the only female to win a professional motorsports race at Daytona International Speedway.

“Elena is a great spokesperson for our brand,” McGraw Powersports CEO John Chu said. “She has credibility in the industry and brings the right experience to our service contract business with our dealerships.”

Myers and her husband, Dean Court, are moving from Atlanta, Georgia, back to her home state of California.

“I’m excited for this new challenge with McGraw Powersports, which keeps me very much involved in the motorcycle world,” Myers said. “Working with McGraw last year on my racing program, I really enjoyed being an advocate for the company.

McGraw Powersports sells extended service contracts through Western Service Contract Corp., which is part of the McGraw Group.
