  Final Anaheim Race
Goes PINK for a Cure





AURORA, Ill. (February 10, 2010) – As the 2010
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season continues to
roll with what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons ever,
Feld Motor Sports
SM and Angels Baseball
are teaming up for the final Anaheim race of the season this Saturday in
support of finding a cure for breast cancer. The first-ever PINK supercross
race will help fund the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk. There
will be a press conference tomorrow at Noon inside the Diamond Club inside
Angel Stadium to discuss this inaugural event.







Cancer survivor Shasta Johnson and Team
Shasta will join thousands of other dedicated women and men for the San Diego
Breast Cancer 3-Day to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research.
The three-day, 60-mile walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
requires months of physical and financial preparation, challenge and triumph.
Participants commit to raising $2,300 in order to participate and follow a four
to sixth month physical training program.





Monster Energy Supercross will undergo a PINK
theme during its final race from Angel Stadium on Saturday as riders, teams
will show their support by showcasing various elements of pink in what will be
a truly unique event. Teams like Muscle Milk/Toyota/ JGR Yamaha, Hart and
Huntington and MotoConcepts will stand out thanks to their support for the
cause while several other riders and teams plan on getting into the spirit as
well. Fans are also encouraged to join the fight and wear something pink to the
Anaheim event.





In addition to the pink-accented ambiance throughout
the pits and on the track, a special auction will be held, featuring a variety
of items from some of Monster Energy Supercross’ biggest names and most
prominent supporters. Gear, goggles, photos and exclusive items of memorabilia
from names like Dungey, Short, Joe Gibbs Racing and Scott will be up for bid on
Saturday
, continuing to raise money and awareness for one of the most common
diseases women are forced to battle.





Breast cancer will affect one in eight women
in the U.S. and the disease knows no boundaries—be it age, gender,
socio-economic status or, more broadly, the state of the economy. The sport of
supercross and its fans recognize the need for charitable involvement and
Saturday will be a showcase of the strength in the racing industry. 





This Thursday, a special press conference on
behalf of Feld Motor SportsSM and Angels Baseball will be held to
show the commitment of each respective party in support of this special event.
Additionally, various riders will be on hand to show their support..
