TORRANCE, California: American Honda
Motor Co., Inc. announced today that it will extend the contract
with factory supercross and motocross rider Trey Canard for an
additional two years. Canard has spent his entire professional career
with the Honda brand, and this agreement continues that relationship, as
the Oklahoma native will campaign a factory Honda CRF450R in the AMA
Supercross Championship and AMA Pro Motocross Championship during the
2015 and 2016 seasons.
“I’m so excited to continue my long relationship with Honda for
another two years,” Canard said. “The company, the team and everyone
involved is really motivated about racing, and we’re all pushing hard
and doing our best. I’ll continue to always give my best effort over
these next two years, and we’re shooting for wins and championships. The
enthusiasm around Honda right now is a really good thing that I’m
excited to be a part of, and I think 2015 is going to be a great
year for us.”
After sitting out the entire 2014 AMA Supercross series while
recovering from a broken arm, Canard has made a notable comeback this
summer in AMA Pro Motocross, regularly finishing on the podium. With
three rounds remaining, he currently sits third in the points standings.
“We are very much looking forward to having Trey back with Honda for two more years,” said Ray
Conway, Director of Racing at American Honda. “He has been with the
company for his entire professional career, and he is a joy to work
with. His performance this season, particularly in the Pro Motocross
Championship, demonstrates his potential, and we’re expecting even
better things from him in 2015 and ’16.”

HILLSDALE, Mich., (July 23, 2014) – When
you’re working to pick the best kids on dirt bikes you have to remember
the late bloomers. Guys like Jeremy McGrath and John Dowd, for
instance, didn’t take motocross seriously until their teens. And for
Cobra Moto, which starts working with kids as young as four, there’s
been a lot of talented kids racing the American-made minicycles over the
years that have, for one reason or another, gone unnoticed.
With that in mind Lakehill Trackside Racing’s
Doug Cochran approached Cobra Moto President Sean Hilbert this past
January with a plan – a plan geared towards developing a number of the
not-quite-there-yet young racers into possible talent for Cobra’s
prestigious National team.
Dubbed the Cobra Moto National Development
Team, Cochran’s Lakehill Trackside Racing program has recruited the
seven best up-and-coming minicycles racers in the nation and given them
support at the national level at races such as Mill Creek (Ala.), Oak
Hill (Texas) and Freestone (Texas).
“We often bypass kids who, at the time,
weren’t ready for national competition,” said Cochran. “So we basically
came up with the Cobra Moto National Development Team along the lines of
a minor league baseball program.”
Working with engine and suspension specialist
Josh Rogers, who owns the Houston-based EBR Performance, Cochran and
his wife, Amy, have dedicated their time and much of their business
resources this year to Cobra Moto’s National Development Team. Utilizing
Cobra Moto’s dealer support network, Cochran was able to sign seven
kids (below) – all of whom have qualified for the 2014 Rocky Mountain
ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s
ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.
Edgar Lewis Virden, IL 65cc 7-9
Chris Sweeney Jackson, NJ 65cc 7-9
CollinAllen Haslet, TX 50cc 7-8
Brock Walker Cleburne, TX 50cc 7-8
Cole Kish Newport, MI 50cc 7-8
KylerRhom Charlotte, NC 50cc 4-6
Hayden Cline Converse, TX 50cc 4-6
“I can’t begin to explain what a positive
impact Doug and his team at Lakehill Trackside Racing have had on the
Cobra Moto program this year,” said Hilbert. “Much like Cobra Moto’s
mantra, the Cochrans have dedicated their business to support the Cobra
Moto family, assisting kids who will no doubt be the front-runners for
the Cobra Moto National Team positions in the coming years.”Cochran
brings with him a wealth of experience at Loretta’s. His son, Casey, is a
Cobra Moto National Team racer and the defending champion in the 4-6
50cc class. Casey will be on one of the 29 Cobras in the 7-8 class (of
42 bikes total) at Loretta’s, nine of which have Lakehill Trackside
Racing support!
Up next for Cobra: 2014 Rocky Mountain
ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s
ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., July 27-Augs. 2.

four years as the official race tire of Chad Reed and TwoTwo

partnership to allow TwoTwo to expand their relationship with their
title sponsor.
“I am very thankful for the support

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(July 18, 2014) - MX Sports announced today that Bell Helmets, an industry
leader in innovative head protection, is the official helmet of the 2014 Rocky
Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by
AMSOIL. Bell will be on-site throughout the July 27 - Aug. 2 National
Championship in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., showcasing and demonstrating their
newly developed custom-fit program with the Bell Moto-9 helmet, in addition to
sponsoring the Bell Helmet Holeshot Award at the 2014 National Championship.
Bell's
custom-fitting demonstrations allow riders to experience the company's
break-through head scanning system, which is a first of its kind for the
industry. Each Bell Moto-9 helmet is customized to the unique shape and
dimensions of the rider's head and since the internal shape of the helmet is a
direct offset of the rider's head; there are no uncomfortable pressure points
or hot spots.
In
addition to the custom-fit head scanning demonstrations, Bell is providing
nearly $11,000 in holeshot awards to amateur racers throughout the week. The
Bell Helmet Holeshot Award offers up a $100 gift certificate to BellHelmets.com to each rider who gets the
holeshot in 108 gate drops taking place at the National Championship.
"We
love the excitement and competition that surrounds Loretta Lynn's," said
Chris Sackett, Vice President Bell Helmets. "We're thrilled to have the
opportunity to meet and talk with the sport's future stars about the importance
of head protection."
Bell will
have the custom-fit Sprinter Van set up in Sponsor Village all week long,
inviting racers and their families to stop by and demo its innovative head
scanning system and experience the comfort of the Moto-9 Carbon helmet first
hand.
"Bell
Helmets joined the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta
Lynn's last year and we're very pleased that they have stepped up to be an even
bigger part of the National in 2014 and beyond," said MX Sports Director,
Tim Cotter. "The innovative technology that Bell brings to the table is
invaluable and we're looking forward to sharing that cutting-edge knowledge
with the word's top amateur motocross racers."
Following
their first-ever custom-fit program at the 2013 World SuperBike Championship at
Laguna Seca, Bell has since taken their custom-fit process on tour to events
all across the country, including the Austin and Indy MotoGP events, as well as
the AIM Expo, IMS Shows and more.

Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by AMSOIL

The 2014 Budds Creek Motocross Pro National
marks the tenth consecutive year that the Southern Maryland Dirt Riders
Club has awarded its Privateer Award to the struggling working class
heroes of our sport.
In 2006, the award was renamed in honor of Kevin Crine, a local
Southern Maryland privateer who won the hearts of many during his time
on and off the track. Kevin lost his life in a tragic car accident, but
his spirit lives on in our motocross community as we recognize top
performing privateers each year with the Kevin Crine Memorial Privateer
Award.
This year the SMDR club will award one 250 Class racer and one 450
Class racer $1,000 each presented on stage by John Crine (Kevin’s
father). The club recognizes and wishes to support the concept of the
struggling privateer trying to make a living while following the dream
of factory stardom.
Past recipients of the award include Gavin Gracyk, Kyle Mace, Ben
Ritter, Corey Green, Jacob Marsack, and Sean Borkenhagen just to name a
few. The money was generously donated by SMDR members at our monthly
club meetings and riding functions. We want to give true privateers a
little extra incentive to do well at the 2014 Budds Creek Motocross Pro
National on July 12.
