Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki Stands on the Podium in B.C.

Riverside, CA (July 16, 2007) – Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki’s  Jeff Gibson
scored his first CRMC Motocross Nationals podium finish  this weekend at round six in
Nanaimo, BC. His third overall finish  also moves the Ohio rider into third place in
the current  championship standings with three races remaining. Current  championship
points leader Paul Carpenter retains the overall  championships points lead with a
fifth overall.

“I got some good starts today and rode as hard as I could,” said  Gibson after his
podium finish. “However, the track was very tough  so I knew I had to ride smart and
stay on two wheels. In the end,  it all worked out so I’m happy with the results.”

“I struggled with the track all day,” explained Carpenter. “Poor  starts and
crashes just added to my frustration for the weekend. In  the end, I only lost a few
points in the championship points so  that is the main thing. Our goal is that
championship right now and  the entire team is working really hard to achieve that
goal.”

The teams MX2 entry, Tucker Hibbert was on his way to another great  finish until a
large rock caused his clutch to malfunction as he  was leading the second moto. He
would eventually finish in twelfth  overall.

The Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki Racing Team has a long break  before resuming their
championship chase at Riverglade MX Park in  Moncton, New Brunswick, for round seven of
the CMRC Monster Energy  Motocross Nationals.
