Kevin Windham to Compete for $1 Million at the Inaugural Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas

“I
don't know anyone who would not put it all on the line for a million
dollars,” said Windham. That's a payday that will entice all the
riders.”

After wrapping up his 17^th
Monster Energy Supercross season, Windham has since earned one Western
Regional Supercross Lites class championship along with finishing
runner-up three times in the Supercross class. Throughout his Supercross
class career, Windham has 18 wins and an additional 56 podium finishes.
He’s looking to add the Monster Energy Cup championship to his resume
and is excited to see what track designers Ricky Carmichael and Jeremy
McGrath create.

“We
had a pretty exciting season in 2011, so it I think it's going to be
good no matter what (Ricky) Carmichael and (Jeremy) McGrath throw at
us,” said Windham. “The competitiveness of the racing is at a whole new
level. Carmichael and McGrath are two of the best riders the sport has
ever seen, and it will be fun to ride a track that they design. Three
shorter motos will for sure keep the racing tight and interesting. That
will make it very difficult to sweep the night.”

Throughout
the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross season, Windham, who was selected as
the “Fan Favorite” by the industry and fans, earned 12 top-10 finishes,
with a season-best finish of second coming from Seattle’s Qwest Field.

The
unique hybrid track will consist of supercross/motocross terrain and
will have a tremendous motocross-style influence, making it unlike any
other stadium race in the world. This track will be the perfect blend of
supercross and motocross combined and created into the ultimate
battleground. The Monster Energy Cup posts a $250,000 purse with the
winner walking away with a $100,000 check, and for the “first time ever”
$1 Million will be paid to a rider that wins all three main events.
