HUNTERSVILLE,
N.C. (Sept. 2, 2010) – After a storied amateur career 18 year-old
Nick Paluzzi from Riverside, Calif. will make his pro debut at Steel
City Raceway in Delmont, Pa this Saturday, Sept. 4 in the premier 450
class. Paluzzi will also contest the final round of the AMA Pro
Motocross Championship Series at Pala Raceway in Pala, Calif. Sept.
11, his home track.

Paluzzi
was offered the opportunity to race the last two nationals with the
Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team after Josh Grant elected to have
shoulder surgery this week following a practice crash last Saturday
at the Southwick, Mass. race.

“I
am really excited to have this opportunity,” said Paluzzi. I want
to thank everyone involved at Joe Gibbs Racing as well as all of my
sponsors who allowed me to participate.” “Unfortunately injuries
are a part of our sport but we always try our best to have two riders
in the race for our sponsors, and we are excited to have Nick riding
for us the last two rounds,” said Coy Gibbs, the team owner. Below you
