Les Smith to Ride for Honda of Troy for the AMA Outdoor Series

Honda of Troy
announces that Les Smith will fill in for Honda of Troy / Kilbarger
Racing’s Levi Kilbarger at the AMA Outdoor Series.


Kilbarger suffered a leg injury in a first turn pileup at the Dallas Supercross
in March and has been plagued with fatigue issues that will unfortunately
sideline the popular rider for the first half of the outdoor season. Smith will
step under the Honda of Troy / Kilbarger Racing Tent and will join Darryn
Durham, Michael Willard and Sean Lipanovich on the team.


Smith, a 19-year-old AMA rookie hailing from
York , South Carolina ,
will make the switch to the CRF250R Honda. A bike he should feel comfortable on
due to the fact that Les spent most of his amateur career with Honda. His
mother commented “Ever since his bike support changed in 2008, all he has
ever wanted was his Honda’s back!  He has had so much success with
Honda in his amateur career – and he has missed the feel of the bikes
ever since.”

Les has had a
highly decorated amateur career and was able to test the Pro-Am waters last
season in the 450 class at the last few outdoor races- earning himself the
National Number 87 in the process. Les will be a strong asset to the Team and
Honda of Troy is looking forward to giving him the tools to excel at the
Professional level.

The Honda of Troy/Kilbarger Racing Team
would like to acknowledge the sponsors who make this effort possible.
