Carey Hart Announces 2012 Hart and Huntington Supercross Team Riders and New Sponsors

CARLSBAD, Calif. (December 2, 2011) – Carey Hart, team owner of
Hart and Huntington Racing, unveiled the new Supercross team riders and
sponsors for the 2012 season during a press conference in San Diego
yesterday at Sycuan Casino.  The Dodge Motorsports/Sycuan Casino/Hart
and Huntington/Bel-Ray Racing Team now includes a brand new sponsorship
with Sycuan Casino for the upcoming season and beyond, as well as a
continuing partnership with Dodge and Bel-Ray.

Josh Hansen, Kyle Partridge and Josh Hill will join
Hart and Huntington Racing veteran Ivan Tedesco on the four-man team for
2012.  In addition, Hart announced that he will be donating the bike he
used at the Gravity Games in 2000 to complete the first backflip in
freestyle motocross history to GameDay Sports Bar & Grill at Sycuan
Casino as a token of gratitude for their support.

"I’m really looking forward to next season and
couldn’t be happier about the talent behind our new team riders and the
amazing support of our sponsors," said Carey Hart. “These guys have so
much energy and passion in their riding that I know a Hart and
Huntington racer will make a big impact this season, just like we did
last year.  All of our sponsors are the driving force behind our
success; elevating us to the next level and giving us the opportunity to
double our team in a time when other programs are cutting back or
worse, not coming back out at all.”

Hart and Sycuan Casino hosted Liv Fast Moto Demo on
Thursday to provide a groundbreaking fan experience during the press
announcement for the new team riders and sponsors.  Lance Coury, Destin
Cantrell and Drake McElroy participated in a freestyle demo for fans
prior to the press conference.  Hart greeted hundreds of guests at the
event, which included a personal tour of the Hart and Huntington rig for
young tribe members of The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.  In
addition, fans were able to meet the new team riders and get autographs
during an exclusive meet-and-greet hour at the casino, which included
appearances by Hart, Hansen, Hill, Partridge and Tedesco. 

“We know that motocross is a sport that resonates
with our local community and are excited to partner with the most
innovative team in the industry,” said Sheila Howe, General Manager of
Sycuan Casino.  “Our goal is to host more fun and entertaining events,
like Liv Fast Moto Demo, for our guests.  Furthermore, we’re personally
huge fans of Hart and Huntington and can’t wait to see how the team
performs in the upcoming Supercross season.”
