The battle for top young rider in EnduroCross is close!
Irvine, CA (September 30, 2011) – The
E3 Spark Plugs EnduroCross Junior Championship recognizes the top young
riders in one of the toughest forms of Off Road motorcycle racing.
Riders must be 21 years of age or younger to be eligible and Monster
Kawasaki’s Taylor Robert currently leads a tight three rider battle
leading into this weekend’s Denver round. Robert currently has 23 points
while Oregon’s Keith Sweeten has 20 and is closely followed by Zip Ty
Husqvarna’s Ryan Sandoval. All three riders have been showing steady
improvement during the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series so you can expect
that any one of these riders could emerge with the Junior Championship.
“It
is really awesome to follow the up and coming riders of EnduroCross and
see who may be the next riders in line to challenge the established
stars of the sport” stated Lance Bryson, the Director of Sales and
Marketing for EnduroCross. “It is easy to forget that these riders don’t
have the years of racing experience that many of the riders that they
are competing against so it is great that E3 helped created the Junior
Championship three years ago” he continued.
So
come out to Denver’s National Western Complex arena this weekend to
cheer on the top young riders. Like all EnduroCross events, the pits are
open to the public for free all day and it is also free to watch the
daytime qualifiers as the riders battle to earn a spot in the night
program. The Expert riders ride practice and do a single lap against the
clock to determine their starting positions during the midafternoon so
there is a lot of action all day.
Tickets are available from these Kawasaki Dealers: Fay Myers Motorcycle World, SUN Enterprises, Rocky Mountain Kawasaki, MotoAdventure, Grand Prix Motorsports also TicketsWest.com and www.EnduroCross.com.
