BBMX kicks off first round of the Monster Energy Sponsor Cup Series - Dade City, FL

 The
Monster Energy Sponsor Cup Series is the fastest growing series in BBMX's home
state of FL, and is definitely a first of its kind for FL racing.  The
Sponsor Cup Series is in its 5th year of racing and has become a hot spot for
FL racing from the early Spring to the late Fall.  With 15 rounds in the
points chase, a high pro purse and a hefty top 3 series championship bonus on
the line - it is a must for all of FL's top pro riders to attend.  And
though the BBMX team will sit out the 2010 Lucas Oil Motocross Nationals, the
team hopes to be able to give back to all their loyal FL fans who have
supported them over the years.  "We are going to miss the nationals
this year for sure, but with all honesty it is a tough economy out there right
now and we needed to work on our sales program back in FL for this year and the
Monster Energy Sponsor Cup Series was just the perfect fit for us. The
nationals are definitely not out of our future, we will be back for sure. What
MX Sports is doing over there is just awesome and as time goes on, what they
are doing will allow teams like ours to only grow stronger and win races",
says Forrest Butler. 

 "Our
focus right now though is on the Sponsor Cup championship and winning
races.  The facility at Dade City, the Sponsor Cup team layout, teams
involved - it is very impressive.  They have a 4000sq/ft building with an
entire air conditioned VIP viewing area, it is very impressive.  We are
also set up and selling live for BTOSports.com out of our product display
booth, it really is a good deal for all our team sponsors and our FL regional
fans" adds Forrest. 

 As for
the racing, the format is done similar to the nationals - all bikes are
equipped with transponders and timed qualifying is used for gate
pick. Team rider Kyle Keylon would grab the fastest qualifying time, with
teammate Jason Thomas qualifying 6th. The first moto would find Thomas with a
near holeshot on the ground and starting from dead last, Thomas's fortune would
end right away with a broken shifter causing him to pull out.  Keylon
however made his way to the front quickly and took the lead by the half way
mark.  Unfortunately for Keylon, a broken front wheel would cause him to
go down with just 2 laps to go and settle for 2nd place. 

 In the
2nd moto, Thomas would again have first turn problems and then a crash a lap 4
left him with a bike that wouldn't start, finding him a lap down.  Keylon
started 2nd this time and was quickly looking for the lead, he made several
attempts but just couldn't get by the race leader, eventually finishing in 2nd
by just a few short bike lengths.  Kyle would end up 2nd overall on the
night and up on the podium. 

 The
next round will be on May 29th and both Thomas and Keylon will be a bit more
prepared as this last weekend saw them both coming directly off the Las Vegas
SX finale.
