Cool to see an old dog get thrown a bone!

PR: BTO Sports-KTM is proud to announce the re-signing of Andrew Short for the 2014 and 2015 racing seasons. He will be lining up on his BTO Sports-KTM 450SX-F, contesting both the AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross Championships. Short has been an integral part of the BTO Sports-KTM team effort since joining the team in the middle of the 2013 Supercross season, and both BTO Sports and KTM are pleased to extend the relationship through the 2015 season.

Good for Shorty. He's great for the sport, with a ready smile and a positive spin on practically any day he's had good or bad. Andrew is still a pretty consistant top-10 guy, and with the field as stacked as it is...that ain't bad.

I love what RC used to call Andrew Short: "The Smiling Assassin". Laughing

I think it was Stewart who called Short a smiley faced assassin. Regardless, I am happy to see him get this extension. He is getting pretty solid results the last few races.

That's so cool to hear especially since i grew up with him going to DHMA schools all my childhood.

Both teams are a class act, and it just shows you what being positive all the time gets you. A few years ago shorty crashed on the ktm at the test track because a malfunction, never mentioned or complained about it, now has job security for the next two years.

WAY TO GO TEAM SHORT!!!!!

Yep, good deal for both of them
And I will add that BTO has all of my online business too. Great move and Shorty will only get better on the big orange machine next year.
