Baggett,
who rides minis for Red Baron, is the defending champ in Youth 10” &
12” – says he hopes to defend his mini titles this May 7^th
in Vegas

ANAHEIM,
Calif. (March 22, 2010) – GEICO Powersports
MiniMotoSX,
presented by Monster Energy, would like to congratulate its 2009 Youth
10” and 12” champion – Rockstar/Suzuki’s Blake Baggett - on his first Supercross
Lites win this past weekend at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Baggett, who
runs the Red Baron
brand minis at the GEICO MMSX, is a rookie on the Monster Energy AMA
Supercross, an FIM World Championship, tour and easily one of the
fastest mini
bike racers in the world.

“Everyone at
GEICO MiniMotoSX
was pumped to hear that Blake won the Dallas Lites main event,” said Mike Karsting, VP of
Events for
Source Interlink Media. “Blake’s one of our top young mini bike
racers and ran the table last year in both the Youth 10 and 12-inch
(rim)
classes.

“It’s good
to see
he’s taken all he’s learned on our mini track at the Orleans and
applied it to Cowboys Stadium,” added Karsting with a laugh.

A likeable,
supremely fast mini bike
racer with style to burn, Baggett – should he be cleared to race GEICO
MMSX this May 7^th – will move up to MMSX’s premier
“Expert” class to battle the likes of Costella, his Red Baron
teammate Blose, Browning, Pingree, Abrigo and Lawrence. At that point,
should
he qualify, Baggett would be able to contest for the new GEICO MMSX
World
Final.

“I’m not 100% sure if I’m going to be able
to race MiniMotoSX or not … depends where I’m at in the points and
what my Rockstar Suzuki team says,” said Baggett. “But I really
hope so. I’m ready and Red Baron has my bikes ready to go.”

Added Red Baron’s LeAnn McElyea: “We are
very
proud of Blake. Everyone at Red Baron was glued to the TV watching his
every
move and we were so excited when he won. Blake is a part of our family
and
we’re just so happy for him. We’ll have Blake’s bikes ready
to go for Vegas - you can count on that. We’re all hoping his Rockstar
Suzuki Team gives him the green light.”

Also: For the first time ever, MMSX at
the Orleans
will feature electric bikes
competing head-to-head with the combustion bikes in the 16” class. After
years of being an exhibition class, electric bikes will finally get the
chance
to see if they can hold it down against the gasoline-powered bikes. Will
they
be able to keep up? Could they dominate? Are they gonna get waxed?
You’ll
have to be in Vegas on May 7^th
to find out!
