Toyota Official Vehicle of Supercross for 2011 and 2012

Courtesy of Feld Motorsports
AURORA, Ill. (May 12, 2010) – For years, Toyota has been one of the strongest supporters of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. Today, Feld Motor Sports announced that the automaker will return for 2011 and 2012 in continued support of the world’s premier motocross championship.

"Toyota is a major champion of the supercross series -- our partnership allows us to connect with our younger enthusiasts," said Keith Dahl, Toyota's National Engagement Marketing Manager.

For the past five seasons, Toyota has been a staple in the sponsorship and promotion of the sport. Recently, the brand has stepped up its involvement through various initiatives, most notably within the pits at every round of Monster Energy Supercross as well as on the track, showcasing the Tundra, the official truck of supercross. For the next two seasons, Toyota will continue to build on its legacy and usher in a new era of Monster Energy Supercross.

Toyota is no stranger to the sport and knows what the motocross enthusiast needs when it comes to transporting a bike and heading to the track. Through interactive displays and a hands on approach, Toyota has allowed supercross fans an up close look at their premier lineup of off-road vehicles from the races with their popular Monster Energy Pit Party display.

The highly popular back-up camera demo allows fans to try out the latest in Toyota technology first-hand. Fans can also show their support of the sport and their favorite riders at the cheer card station, creating inventive signs that are often seen on the SPEED and CBS Sports broadcasts. Thanks to its close ties with the Muscle Milk/Toyota/Joe Gibbs Racing program, Toyota also offers the hundreds of thousands in attendance exclusive merchandise not available anywhere else.

“Toyota has done an incredible job of connecting and interacting with our supercross fans over the years, said Charlie Mancuso, President of Feld Motor Sports. We look forward to their continued involvement in Monster Energy AMA Supercross.”

Costella and Blose the big winners at the seventh annual GEICO Powersports MiniMotoSX

Drew Gosellelaar leads an electric bike sweep of the podium in the history-making electric versus gas-powered dirt bike battle – the Energy Crisiscross

 

Las Vegas, NV (May 7, 2010) – Derek Costella, the Monster Energy backed BBR rider won the first ever World Final that combined all of the nights expert and youth class podium finishers with nine of the world’s top international mini bike racers. The win earned him the right to be recognized as the world’s best mini bike racer, a $3,000 check and a new car entertainment system compliments of Pioneer electronics.  Red Barron backed Michael Blose defended his title in the premier 12-inch expert class along with podium finishes in the 10-inch expert and World Final races.  Costella and Blose each collected over $6,000 each for their multiple podium finishes at the world’s largest mini bike race. 

The 10-inch expert class ended up being the race of the night as Derek Costella took the holeshot but was soon passed by Michael Blose and then defending champion Ryan Abrigo also made his way past. On the final lap, Costella re-took second place and then made a last turn pass on Blose to steal the win.  Abrigo held on for third.  However, the final results of this class are pending review. 

Michael Blose got revenge in the 12-inch expert class by defending his title on his Red Barron mini over French mini phenom, Mike Valade and Derek Costella. Valade worked his way up from a bad start for the impressive finish in a stacked class that included several past MMSX champions including Kyle Engle that finished 4^th, David Pigngree 6^th and Chris Gosselaar who finished 10^th. 

Austin Politelli dominated the youth classes on his CHP backed mini by winning both the 10-inch and 12-inch classes. Logun Pickering and Killian Woder rounded out the podium in the 10-inch class while James Gardiner and Pickering shared the podium in the 12-inch class and they all earned a chance to race the top expert and international riders in the World Final race that wrapped up the evening. In the 12 years and under youth class, Robbie Wageman took the win over Carson Brown and Ryan Lazar.  

Erika Short defended her title in the women’s class over Tatum Sik and Jackie Ives.  Mike Reefman came all the way from Australia to take the win in the 35-plus vet class on his Pitster Pro mini over Matthew Skerret and Ricky Lee. 

Brandon Schreuder won the 10-inch amateur class over Devin Manahan and Kevin Popaeko.  Jimmy Peyras upheld French honor with a win in the 12-inch amateur class over Matthew Skerrett (who took two podium positions during the evening) and Austin Tessitore. 

Clint Johnson took the win in the 10-inch stock/mod class over Shea Koester and Joshua Sheffer.  Then Tiger Lacey, the long time Supercross racer made an aggressive pass to take the win in the 12-inch stock/mod class over Clint Johnson and Jay Maloney. 

In the much anticipated first ever AMA sanctioned electric versus gas powered race, dubbed the Energy Crisiscross, Drew Gosselaar led an electric bike sweep of the podium riding a Quantya ahead of Zero mounted Chris Dvoracek and fellow Zero rider and former World Motocross Champion Sebastian Tortelli. The electric bikes took the top six spots with Jay Maloney on a Kawasaki taking seventh ahead of Jimmy Lewis on a BBR Honda 150F.  The rules restrict the modifications to the gas powered bikes and require use of the stock frame, forks, cylinder, carburetor and engine cases and they proved to be outgunned by the electric bikes but it was still evidence that electric bike technology has come a long way. 

The final race of the night was the World Final, which combined the podium finishers in the youth and expert 10-inch and 12-inch classes with nine of the top international riders. Derek Costella, the winningest rider in MiniMotoSX history once again proved his skills on a mini bike by taking the win over France’s Mike Valade and Michael Blose to become the first ever World Final Champion.  Ryan Abrigo finished 4^th ahead of fifteen year old Austin Politelli the evenings dominant youth rider.

Dirt Wurx Rebuilds Winchester Speedpark

Courtesy of Dirt Wurx
MONROE, N.Y. (April 24, 2010) – Dirt Wurx USA recently put the blade to Winchester Speed Park’s supercross track, knocking the old track down completely and creating a newly designed and constructed track for the 2010 season.

“This is the one place in the Northeast where riders can experience a real Dirt Wurx USA supercross track. Yes, we do some things to make it safe for amateur riders, but for the most part this is the real thing,” said Winkler. “Dave actually came up with the basic design this year, and asked me for my input on any changes. It was really good just as it was, and I just said lets build it!

 “It’s definitely got the Dirt Wurx seal of approval.”

Working with Winchester Speed Park for the past decade, Winkler and track owner Dave Boisvert, a part-time Dirt Wurx operator himself, look to take the supercross track to a new level each year. 

“As riders at the track progress, and learn more supercross-specific skills, we need a track that progresses as well,” explained Boisvert. “I think we were able to design a challenging course with some good choice and timing sections, and a number of larger obstacles than we’ve featured in the past – but without the penalty involved when you come up short.”   

“We hit this one out of the park,” said Winkler. “The new Winchester SX is as close to a real supercross track as possible, while also being forgiving. Plus, for once, we had three straight days of dry weather, allowing us to finish everything correctly, without having to return to re-groom soft jump faces and fix mud holes. Track conditions are perfect.

Boisvert added that the riders attending opening day on the motocross track were “Watching our progress and were pumped to return to Winchester’s opening day for the new supercross track.”

Winkler pulled both from his experience building the world’s most visible supercross tracks at the premier stadiums here in the States (Monster Energy AMA Supercross) as well as in Europe, along with his experience designing and constructing tracks for both public and private use around the world. The end result at Winchester Speed Park was a track that can be used by both intermediate and expert/pro riders alike.

The state-of-the-art Winchester facility features both a motocross track and supercross track and plays host to the New England Regional MX Championships and 2010 Loretta Lynn’s qualifier

TLD Lucas Oil Racing Race Report

Courtesy of TLD/Lucas Oil Racing
On what was undoubtedly one of the most brutally demanding supercross tracks ever built, Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda rider Wil Hahn gritted out a second place finish and moved himself to second in the series standings. His teammate, Cole Seely, toughed out a seventh place finish despite a poor start.

Lining up for the main event it was clear that Hahn meant business. His lap times were good and he knew he was prepared to ride at 100% for the entire fifteen laps. The Young rider from Texas was third coming around the first turn but ran into the back of Trey Canard when he fell in turn two. The mishap dropped him to fifth where he would begin an impressive charge towards the front. By the time he moved into second the leader was already several seconds ahead and the margin was too much for Wil to close. Although he wants a win baldly, Hahn rode well and he was proud of that.

"Man, I really felt like tonight was my night to win," He said after the race. Adding, "I know it's coming... I've been working way too hard not to win one of these. I can't take anything away from (Broc) Tickle though; he rode great tonight. He was flying out there. Next week we'll just get back to work and see if we can get a win in Salt Lake City."

Seely was mired in the pack and lost all of his tear-offs early, forcing him to remove his goggles. The race became about survival for him after that point. Cole would soldier on to a seventh but he was visibly disappointed with the way his night went.

"That definitely wasn't how I wanted the night to go," Cole explained. "All night I just felt tight and like I was fighting the bike. When I reached up on the second lap of the main to pull a tear off and I grabbed all of them, I knew I was in trouble. I tried wiping them as long as I could but I couldn't see a thing. I had to throw them and it made it tough to get close to anyone after that. I need to have a good race next weekend to bounce back from this."

The team will now head to Utah for the final round of the west region series. Wil has a five point lead over Canard and he is nineteen points down on Jake Weimer. It is a long shot to win the title but crazier things have happened.

The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series heads to Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Saturday, May 1.

MSR St Louis Race Report

Courtesy of MSRMX
Corona, CA – At the conclusion of an incredibly eventful race in St. Louis, MSR riders Kevin Windham and Nick Wey were able to land their MSR gear inside the top five of the Supercross class results. Windham was coming off a Monster Energy AMA Supercross season best second place, while Wey was looking to improve on his 11th place showing in Houston. Both riders put in a good heat race and transferred to the main event with fifth and seventh place gate picks.

Wey took the Spike Holeshot Award and led the pack for just under two laps in his MSR Rider Inspired “NYK” gear. Nick was eventually shuffled back a few positions, where he would find himself in a battle for the fourth spot with former Supercross champion Chad Reed. Wey put on an inspiring ride, withstood the pressure and never relinquishing the spot. This fourth place would mark Wey’s best Supercross finish this season.

Windham did not get the start that he was hoping for and completed the first lap of the main event in seventh position. It took Kevin a little while to get going in the early parts of the race, but by lap six he was on the move and inside the top five. Just passed the halfway point Villopoto went down and handed over second place to the charging Windham. K-Dub then made a late race charge at Dungey, closing the gap to just over two seconds with a few laps to go. Ultimately, lappers and minor mistakes forced him to settle in to the second position, for the second week in a row.

Throughout the day’s events, Windham was sporting the 2011 MSR NXT “Scan” gear. Look for a few more sneak peaks at the 2011 line as the Supercross series dwindles down.

GEICO MiniMotoSX salutes Dallas SX Lites winner Blake Baggett, 2009 MMSX Youth champ!

Baggett, who rides minis for Red Baron, is the defending champ in Youth 10” & 12” – says he hopes to defend his mini titles this May 7^th in Vegas

ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 22, 2010) – GEICO Powersports MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, would like to congratulate its 2009 Youth 10” and 12” champion – Rockstar/Suzuki’s Blake Baggett - on his first Supercross Lites win this past weekend at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Baggett, who runs the Red Baron brand minis at the GEICO MMSX, is a rookie on the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, tour and easily one of the fastest mini bike racers in the world.

“Everyone at GEICO MiniMotoSX was pumped to hear that Blake won the Dallas Lites main event,” said Mike Karsting, VP of Events for Source Interlink Media. “Blake’s one of our top young mini bike racers and ran the table last year in both the Youth 10 and 12-inch (rim) classes.

“It’s good to see he’s taken all he’s learned on our mini track at the Orleans and applied it to Cowboys Stadium,” added Karsting with a laugh.

A likeable, supremely fast mini bike racer with style to burn, Baggett – should he be cleared to race GEICO MMSX this May 7^th – will move up to MMSX’s premier “Expert” class to battle the likes of Costella, his Red Baron teammate Blose, Browning, Pingree, Abrigo and Lawrence. At that point, should he qualify, Baggett would be able to contest for the new GEICO MMSX World Final.

“I’m not 100% sure if I’m going to be able to race MiniMotoSX or not … depends where I’m at in the points and what my Rockstar Suzuki team says,” said Baggett. “But I really hope so. I’m ready and Red Baron has my bikes ready to go.”

Added Red Baron’s LeAnn McElyea: “We are very proud of Blake. Everyone at Red Baron was glued to the TV watching his every move and we were so excited when he won. Blake is a part of our family and we’re just so happy for him. We’ll have Blake’s bikes ready to go for Vegas - you can count on that. We’re all hoping his Rockstar Suzuki Team gives him the green light.”

Also: For the first time ever, MMSX at the Orleans will feature electric bikes competing head-to-head with the combustion bikes in the 16” class. After years of being an exhibition class, electric bikes will finally get the chance to see if they can hold it down against the gasoline-powered bikes. Will they be able to keep up? Could they dominate? Are they gonna get waxed? You’ll have to be in Vegas on May 7^th to find out!

NOTE: The event track map is posted on www.minimotosx.com

The annual GEICO MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, is the largest indoor motorsports competition of its kind. With more than 600 registered riders in 2009 the event literally allows for mini bike enthusiasts to become part of the show. As one racer put it: “At GEICO MiniMotoSX you don’t just show up and watch racing in Vegas – you boot up and get on the track yourself to race in front of a packed house at the Orleans.” Featuring numerous classes at all age and ability levels, GEICO MiniMotoSX delivers an unforgettable day of racing action for both fans and racers alike, along with an affordable ‘Vegas experience’ given the hotel and ticket package at the Orleans Hotel and Arena. Registration for the event is open right now on www.minimotosx.com

Feld Motor SportsSM and Angels Baseball Team-Up in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness
Final Anaheim Race Goes PINK for a Cure

AURORA, Ill. (February 10, 2010) – As the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season continues to roll with what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons ever, Feld Motor SportsSM and Angels Baseball are teaming up for the final Anaheim race of the season this Saturday in support of finding a cure for breast cancer. The first-ever PINK supercross race will help fund the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk. There will be a press conference tomorrow at Noon inside the Diamond Club inside Angel Stadium to discuss this inaugural event.

Cancer survivor Shasta Johnson and Team Shasta will join thousands of other dedicated women and men for the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The three-day, 60-mile walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure® requires months of physical and financial preparation, challenge and triumph. Participants commit to raising $2,300 in order to participate and follow a four to sixth month physical training program.

Monster Energy Supercross will undergo a PINK theme during its final race from Angel Stadium on Saturday as riders, teams will show their support by showcasing various elements of pink in what will be a truly unique event. Teams like Muscle Milk/Toyota/ JGR Yamaha, Hart and Huntington and MotoConcepts will stand out thanks to their support for the cause while several other riders and teams plan on getting into the spirit as well. Fans are also encouraged to join the fight and wear something pink to the Anaheim event.

In addition to the pink-accented ambiance throughout the pits and on the track, a special auction will be held, featuring a variety of items from some of Monster Energy Supercross’ biggest names and most prominent supporters. Gear, goggles, photos and exclusive items of memorabilia from names like Dungey, Short, Joe Gibbs Racing and Scott will be up for bid on Saturday, continuing to raise money and awareness for one of the most common diseases women are forced to battle.

Breast cancer will affect one in eight women in the U.S. and the disease knows no boundaries—be it age, gender, socio-economic status or, more broadly, the state of the economy. The sport of supercross and its fans recognize the need for charitable involvement and Saturday will be a showcase of the strength in the racing industry.

This Thursday, a special press conference on behalf of Feld Motor SportsSM and Angels Baseball will be held to show the commitment of each respective party in support of this special event. Additionally, various riders will be on hand to show their support..

Tickets are available at www.SupercrossOnline.com, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or 714-740-2000, the Angel Stadium box office, Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, and participating Yamaha dealerships.
