Eric Bostrom (aka E-Boz) has become one of the most popular riders in American roadracing with his charismatic approach to fans and in-your-face riding style. He grew up racing dirt track along with his older brother, Ben Bostrom, and continues to have a great rivalry/relationship with his older sibling. In 1998 Bostrom got a big break to race a RC45 for Honda. He won his second and third ever Superbike races, letting everyone know he was a legit threat.

After landing runner-up finishes in the 2001 and 2002 AMA Superbike Championships with Kawasaki, Bostrom made a major move to Yamaha after a three-year stint with Ducati. He chose not to compete in the Superbike class, however, and instead opted for the Superstock and Formula Xtreme titles.

After a year of toiling in the support classes and nearly scoring a title in the Formula Xtreme series, E-Boz returned to AMA Superbike in 2007 with a seventh-place overall finish. The following year Bostrom improved his results, scoring two podium finishes late in the season and earning fourth in the championship. In 2010 E-Boz participated in select Superbike rounds aboard a Suzuki GSX-R1000 and earned two seventh-place results at Laguna Seca and VIR.

For 2011 the 34-year-old will return to Kawasaki and pilot the ZX-10R in the Superbike series.
