The
Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team Transport Driver and Chaplain Receive Awards

HUNTERSVILLE,
N.C. (May 11, 2010) – Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. is always the
final round of the 17-race AMA Supercross Championship Series.  The final
event however is the annual Supercross Banquet, put on by Feld Entertainment.

The
Supercross Banquet is a time for everyone in the industry to relax, have some
fun, and honor the champions, as well as deserving industry personnel. 
This year, two Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team family members received awards.

Tim
Dixon, the Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team transport driver received the
Transport Driver of the Year Award.  This award is given to the transport
driver who has demonstrated excellence in his work, as well as his overall
attitude and professionalism.  The award is especially meaningful as the
transport drivers themselves vote and select the recipient from among their
peers.  “It’s a great honor to receive this, I feel like if
you are going to do something you should try and be the best at it,” said
Dixon. 

"Tim
is one of the people behind the scenes working as hard as anyone on the
team.  In NASCAR, and motocross, transport drivers have so many jobs to do
it's hard to keep track of everything.  In addition to driving the truck
they also help stock and inventory parts, ship engines and suspension, maintain
the tractor and trailer, and on top of that they feed the team at the
events," said team owner Coy Gibbs.

Steve
“Chappy” Hudson is not exclusive to the team, but each Monday the
team provides lunch and Hudson shares an inspirational message, so he is part of
the Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX family.  Hudson, who is also the Chaplain for
the AMA Supercross Championship Series, was given a Lifetime Achievement
Award.  Hudson attends nearly every event (both supercross and motocross)
providing the morning chapel service, comforting injured riders, and offer a
caring ear for anyone who wants to shed a burden or have their spirits lifted
in a time of trouble.  When a rider is taken to a hospital during a race,
you can find Hudson there for support and encouragement.  He has both
married a large number of people in the industry, as well as provided
counseling and guidance to help keep couples married. 

“Ministry
is an important part of our mission at Joe Gibbs Racing,” said Coy Gibbs. 
“Steve has the ability to connect with the young people that
predominately make up the motocross industry, which can be difficult to
do.  We are lucky that he is local to us so we see him every week at the
shop.”

Congratulations
Tim and Steve from the entire Joe Gibbs Racing organization.
