team riders will likely race in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Lites Class





HOUSTON (September 21, 2010) –
Shea Racing is proud to announce that National Switchgear has signed
on to become the team’s primary sponsor for the 2011 Monster Energy
AMA Supercross series. National Switchgear is making its first
sponsorship move into action sports, partnering to field a large
squad of competitive athletes. Officially, the team will be known as
Violation1.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear.



National
Switchgear
manufactures, rebuilds, distributes
and services electrical power distribution equipment, switchgear
and circuit breakers. It is based in Lewisville, Texas which is
near Dallas.



"We are very pleased to be teamed
up with Tim Shea of Violation1.com/Shea Racing for the 2011 AMA
Supercross season,” said Adam Tappe, sales manager, National
Switchgear. “This is a perfect fit for National Switchgear to get
its feet wet in the number one action sport in the world. National
Switchgear's business philosophy of integrity, honesty,
quality, dependability, safety and peace of mind, all which go
hand-in-hand with the way Tim operates the team. We have an
unbelievable group of people and we are really looking forward to the
start of the season on January 8 at the series opener in Anaheim,
California."



National Switchgear’s sponsorship
enables Shea Racing to further expand its program. The team will
likely have six riders all competing in the Lites Class in both East
and West Regions of the AMA Supercross series. Last year, the entire
team was independently funded of any major sponsor and it stepped up
to compete at all 17 rounds in both classes.



“I’m very excited to partner with
National Switchgear,” said Tim Shea, team owner. “Doug and Adam
have been amazing to work with. From the rounds that they attended
last season, they realized just how big this sport has become and as
a business they saw the many opportunities to reach an audience of
loyal fans. I want to thank National Switchgear for this partnership.
Next season looks to be our best year ever. I cannot wait until A1!”



The team will be making additional
announcements soon and is in the process of securing its riders.
