Kevin Windham to Race Additional Motocross Events

Torrance, CA: American Honda Racing
announced today that Kevin Windham will continue competing in the
2011 AMA Motocross Championship with the factory Honda team at select
events. Windham had originally planned to complete his fill-in role
after the return of Josh Grant at the Budds Creek National last
weekend, but after posting solid results, including a strong
fourth-place finish last weekend, Windham has decided to race
additional rounds of the AMA Motocross series. Teammate Trey Canard
has just begun training and riding once more, and is working on
making his return to racing as soon as possible.

“I’ve had a great time riding
Motocross this season,” said Windham. “It’s been so much fun,
I’m going to race at least a few more rounds. The fans have played
a big role in my decision. The crowd support at each race has been
kind of overwhelming. I can hear them cheering me on all around the
track and so many people come by the transporter to see me and talk
with me that I’m just amazed. I’m really enjoying the racing and
everything else at the track, and I feel like I have good momentum
going into Colorado after finishing just shy of the podium last
weekend at Budds Creek.”

American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik
Kehoe supports Windham’s decision to continue racing Motocross.
“It’s great to see Kevin having so much fun racing,” said
Kehoe. “He loves interacting with fans and the fans love coming to
see him and talk with him. He’s got an incredible fan base all
around the country. And even though he’s concentrated on riding
Supercross only for the past several years, Kevin has put in a number
of impressive outdoor rides in 2011. It’s been a good run, and I’m
excited to see how all this plays out.”
