"SMS racing KTM in Denton, Texas is proud to join forces with the Violation1.com/Shea Racing/Travisa/National
Switchgear AMA Supercross team,” said dealership owner Brian Storrie.
“Since day one, I have built SMS racing to follow KTM's motto of “Ready
to Race.” Last year, KTM USA awarded SMS racing with the top retail
sales dealer award for the southern United States
region. We achieved this honor while concentrating solely on racers in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In an effort to continue our growth, it’s
time to step to the next level by reaching a bigger audience through
Shea Racing. AMA Supercross is the best platform for any off-road
motorcycle dealership to spread awareness, and to give back to the sport
we love so much. SMS racing KTM has been looking for a partner to get
our feet wet, and now we found that in Shea Racing.”
