Corona, CA - Bobby Hewitt’s Rockstar Energy Racing
(RER) Team, is pleased to announce it has signed a three-year contract
with KTM Motorsports for its team to race aboard KTM motorcycles in both
the AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross Championship Series. The team will
make its KTM debut on October 19, 2013 at the Monster Energy Cup
President and Team Owner, Bobby Hewitt, expressed his enthusiasm for
the announcement, stating, “As a satellite team, we will always be the
little engine that could, but having the support of KTM is a huge
advantage. We are delighted and grateful to race KTM motorcycles and
eagerly excited for the opportunity to utilize KTM’s new Factory
Services program. This will be a very exciting venture for our team.”
The KTM brand has had great success over the past two seasons
capturing both 450 and 250 Motocross and Supercross class wins. Both KTM
and RER strive to continue to improve the overall race results and
exposure gained in professional racing. Through KTM’s Factory Service
Program, which allows racers and support teams the opportunity to
purchase the same engine and suspension components as the factory team,
the RER Team will have the platform it needs to deliver the results that
the team, it’s riders and it’s sponsors are looking to achieve.
For 2014, RER will continue to support Davi Millsaps as its premier
450 Supercross and Motocross class rider. It will also field a two-man
lites team with returning rider Jason Anderson as well as the 2013
Rookie of the Year, Joey Savatgy. The title sponsor will remain with
Rockstar Energy Drink and the remainder of the 2013 season sponsors will
return to support the team for the 2014 season.
Team rider, Millsaps, commented, “I believe with my team’s support
and my dedication to training that I can win on the KTM. I am excited
for this new opportunity and am expecting another great season as I
contend for the championship.” His teammate, Anderson, added to his
statement, explaining, “I raced KTM’s for my last few years as an
amateur and really loved the motorcycles. I am happy with the team’s
decision to switch to KTM’s and I feel the bikes will be a good fit for
me this season. I hope to put the KTM on the box at the opening round in
Anaheim.”
