Honda Racer Cooper Webb Wins AMA Youth Motocrosser of the Year Award





Torrance, CA: American Honda Motor
Company’s Powersports Division announced today that Cooper Webb, a
14-year-old Honda rider, has been awarded the AMA Youth Motocrosser
of the Year Award. Once a year, this honor is granted to the top
youth competitor who not only demonstrates an ability to perform on
the track, but is also judged to be a role model among his young
peers. Cooper has repeatedly proven that he meets all these
requirements and so he was selected to receive this prestigious
award.



Keith Dowdle, Assistant Manager HRCA,
said, “Cooper has been a part of the American Honda/Red Bull JAMS
program for four years and during that time he has proven to be a
talent both on and off the track. Cooper has appeared in several
American Honda advertisements and in a number of our dealer
convention videos. He is well spoken and does a great job of
promoting our CRF150R product line. Manufacturers want riders who are
not just fast on the track but can also communicate well regarding
the product line, and Cooper is great in both roles. We are very
proud of him and we are thrilled that the AMA has recognized him for
his skills on and off the track.”



Hailing from Newport, N.C., Webb has
been racing a Honda Red Bull Racing CRF150R in 2010, and has earned
more than 40 national championship plus other accolades since he
began his racing career 10 years ago.
