Carolina Xpress Finishes Strong in Final Round of Toyota AMA Arenacross Series

Jim Neese Clinches Arenacross Lites East Title

Greensboro, North Carolina, March 12, 2007 - Jim Neese was unstoppable in Greenville, SC as he won both Arenacross Lites races this past weekend, as well as Friday’s Arenacross Main Event on his Carolina Xpress Suzuki in. In Saturday’s Toyota AMA Arenacross Main, Jim finished second. Jim Chester finished fourth in Friday’s Lites class and fifth in the Arenacross class. On Saturday he was third in the Lites class and fourth in the Arenacross main event.

“What a way for the Carolina Xpress to finish the season. Chester and I finished in the top five in every one of the Mains and I won three of the four races. We could have done a little better in Greenville, but I can’t complain,” commented Jim Neese.

Neese added, “We had a steep learning curve starting the team just before the Toyota AMA Arenacross Series, but we pulled it off. Expect to see us back for the 2007 – 2008 Arenacross season stronger and faster.”

The Carolina Xpress will now start competing in the southeastern outdoor motocross MEGA and ULTRA Series, which run through October.
