Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Wilson and Baggett Geared Up For Atlanta

Corona,
Calif. (February 24, 2011) - Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson
and Blake Baggett look to pick up where they left off two-weeks ago as they go
after more podium finishes at the second stop of the AMA Supercross Lites
Eastern Region series in Atlanta, Ga.

Wilson
earned his first heat race win of the season in
Houston
and narrowly missed the top step of the podium in the main event as he continues
to get back up to speed after an injury he endured in December.

“I’ve
been feeling good over the past two weeks,” said
Wilson.
“I am definitely getting stronger every time I ride, which really makes me
excited to go to Atlanta
and see how the hard work has paid off.”

Newest
member to the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team, Baggett proved he had
the speed to be on top throughout the day in Houston.
His first race wasn’t an easy one as he came through the pack from
12^th to join his teammate on the podium in
third.

“I
am happy to get away with a podium finish in Houston,
but I know I can do much better than that,” said Baggett. “I just need to focus
on getting a good start. That was my biggest difficulty in
Houston.
The whole team is incredible and has really helped me with my
confidence.”

The
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki eastern region riders Wilson and Baggett are
now on track for the next seven weeks as the Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM
Championship stays on the Atlantic side of the
U.S.
with the second stop at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta,
Ga.
