KAWASAKI’s Team Green Set to Invade Muddy Creek Raceway

Blountville, TN.
(July 5, 2011) – Every
year, the second weekend of July, riders from over 20 states find
their way to Northeast Tennessee for the Tennessee State Motocross
Championship. This year it’s July 8-9-10 at Muddy Creek Raceway for
the 27^th
annual KAWASAKI Team Green TENNESSEE State MX Championship.

The event is open to
all riders, but there is always a large showing of Kawasaki riders.
Kawasaki has one of the largest rider support programs (TEAM GREEN)
in the industry and several riders who get factory support. Ryan
Holliday is the Motocross Manager for Kawasaki’s Team Green and
will be making the trip here from California.  

Holliday says "This
has always been a great event for Kawasaki. The support of our
dealers in this region has been outstanding and the Victory Sports
staff always runs a first class event. It's a great opportunity for
Team Green to interact with these dealers and assist all of the
Kawasaki customers in attendance."

Kawasaki support rider
Jacob Hayes will be one of the odds on favorite in the pro classes.
The Jamestown, NC rider is a threat to win anywhere he goes and is
familiar with the Muddy Creek track. At last year’s state
championship he fell one moto of the 250 pro class and finished up
6^th place. He came back and took the win in the 450 pro
class over Kawasaki mounted Jacob Saylor from Knoxville, TN. This
year’s competition will be tough with big fields in both pro
classes. The event is also an AMA Pro-Am point paying event which
brings riders from all parts of the nation seeking the valuable
pro-am points.    

Calhoun, Georgia’s
Bogen Cochran rode his Kawasaki to class wins in the 250 B and 450 B
classes last year.  These “B” classes are the next step down
from the pro class and are very competitive. The top 3 in the “B”
class are fast enough to run in the top 10 in the pro class. Fast
riders and exciting racing.   

This event will be a
double header weekend for the THOR United States Mega Series paying
points both Saturday & Sunday. Racing gets underway Saturday and
Sunday at 9:30am, rain or shine.
