Wonder where this leaves Matt Smith's team?

Yeah, and Cory Reed's deal with Angelle also.

Seeing that Polaris also owns Indian from what I read in the article, could they come in with Indian bodywork next year? Also they can still run the Victory bodywork for five years right? Just maybe not with the Victory factory backing?

Here is what Angelle said on Facebook:

We have received lots of questions concerning our plans after the Victory announcement that they will discontinue production. Our team will move forward with our original plans to race Victory motorcycles and the new Victory S&S engine. We are looking forward to an exciting and fun filled year. Thank you all for your well wishes and support of Team Liberty Racing

polaris has larger problems than their motorcycle division......recalls and poor sales are dragging the whole company down.

That doesn't sound good. We have one of their plants in my home town that builds side by sides. I haven't heard anything bad about their sales.
