Legends and Heroes Tour to Honor Texas Legend Dennis Hawthorne at the Arlington Supercross this Weekend
[b]
Dallas, TX - February 15, 2018 - [/b]The Legend and Heroes Tour traveling moto museum is pleased to announce that they will Texas motocross legend Dennis Hawthorne this Saturday night at round seven of the Monster Energy Supercross series at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
The Tour stands behind the belief that “We Don’t Leave History Behind” and has kept the founding fathers, and mothers, pure in their thoughts by honoring the men and women that shaped supercross and motocross into what it is today. Each honoree receives a special commemorative plaque and a Rockwell timepiece during a special podium presentation on the stadium floor before opening ceremonies.
About Dennis Hawthorne:
Dennis competed on the professional motocross and supercross tour from 1983 to 1992 scoring top 10 finishes ten times during his career. His last professional supercross was here in Texas at Texas Stadium in Irving on May 30, 1992. He finished 18th place that night.
During his supercross and motocross career, Dennis began racing the new Mike Kidd Arenacross Series in and around his home state of Texas. The series was in its infancy and Dennis became a star of the sport winning the championship in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990.
An icon in Texas motocross racing, Dennis won the GNC Texas Series Championship in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The AMA Texas Series Championship in 1986 and 1987 and the GNC Finals in 1989, 1990 and 1991.
He earned a national number six times during his professional career.
Today Dennis is a District Manager with Kawasaki. Join us as we honor Dennis this Saturday night in Arlington.
With nearly 5000 square feet of display space, the Legends and Heroes Tour is a definite must-see during the Pit Party at a supercross near you. The mobile museum features walk-through display videos that allow our guests the opportunity to take a trip back to back to where the sport began. The videos show the heroes of the sport from the beginning of their careers to the races that made them famous. New to the tour in 2018 is the Supercross Virtual Reality mobile experience (SXVR) where fans can experience the thrill of supercross via VR technology and feel like they are on the racetrack. Fans are also encouraged to stop by early and pick up a complimentary copy of RacerX magazine while supplies last. And thanks to our local friends at each round, the Legends Tour features some of the best vintage motocross bikes on display in a single location. Featuring different vehicles at each round, our guests can relive the machines of their youth and show their family and friends the early days of motocross and supercross.

I'll never forget watching him qualify for the 1992 Dallas Supercross through the LCQ - and then get lapped in the main event!
