Longtime Supporters Team Faith Join KTM for 2012 AMA Arenacross Series

AURORA, Ill. (September 26, 2011) – Team
Faith, one of the most well-known and well-respected teams in
Arenacross, has announced it will join KTM USA in its quest for the 2012
AMA Arenacross Series title. The manufacturer will serve as a primary
sponsor for Team Faith’s lineup, featuring AMA Arenacross Series
veterans Kevin Johnson and Kelly Smith. Additionally, the team will
partner with KTM Cycle Hutt out of Mandan, North Dakota for parts and
supplies throughout the season.

"We're
excited to have KTM behind us this season,” said Team Faith Founder and
Manager Brian O'Rourke. "With the rule changes to the AMA Arenacross
Series this season, and the implementation of all the teams having to go
to the 250cc platform, KTM offers a straight-out-of-the-box package
that our riders are looking forward to utilizing, to propel them to the
front of the field again this season.”

Smith
is no stranger to success aboard a KTM. The longtime rider gave the
manufacturer its first ever win back in 2000, competing aboard a KTM
125SX machine in the AMA Motocross Championship at High Point Raceway.

"I've
always liked KTM bikes and I’m really looking forward to what this
season has in store for all of Team Faith,” said Smith. "I hope that
between myself and Kevin Johnson, we'll be able to give KTM its first
win in the Arenacross class."

Smith
and Johnson will wear the number 5 and 8, respectively, on the heels of
solid efforts in the AMA Arenacross Series last season. The pair of
Team Faith/FLY Racing/Pilot/Flying J KTM’s will be on the line in just a
few short weeks, kicking off the 2012 AMA Arenacross Series from Des
Moines’ Wells Fargo Arena on October 29.

Team Faith will also continue its longstanding tradition of outreach ministry at each round of the 2012 AMA Arenacross Series.

Team Faith’s full list of sponsors for 2012 are as follows:

Fly
Racing, Western Power Sports, Pilot/Flying J's, Michelin Tires, KTM
Cycle Hutt,  DZ Graphics, Silkolene Lubricants, Vertex Pistons, Hot
Cams, Hot Rods, Pivot Works, ENZO Suspension, Trinity Racing, RK Chains,
