Supercross Champ Jeremy McGrath Takes Pro Truck Racing Career to the Next Level


Driver Debut in a Pro 4 Unlimited, Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, May 22nd
and 23rd



Los
Angeles, CA
-- May 14, 2010 - Seven-time
AMA Supercross Champion, Jeremy McGrath, will make his Pro 4 Unlimited 
(4 Wheel Drive/850+HP) debut as a guest driver as part of the
StrongHold Motorsports team when the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
makes its second visit of the 2010 season to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on May 22nd and 23rd.


McGrath, who has seen multiple podiums in his three yeas as a full time
short course off road racing pro, returns to his driver duties in the
Pro 2 Unlimited (2WD/850+HP) class as part of the Monster
Energy/Toyota-backed Greaves Motorsports Team racing TORC's Crandon, WI,
June 19th and
20th.


An enthusiastic McGrath spoke about the eminent race opportunity, “I'm
having an incredible experience competing in the Pro 2 class as part of
Greaves Motorsports. Having the opportunity to race alongside Johnny
Greaves, one of the greatest short course drivers of all time, allows me
to learn from the best as we continue to develop the Pro 2 program with
the Monster Energy/Toyota Greaves Motorsports team.   Now -- I'm
excited to have a shot in a Pro 4, with Scott Bailey and the StrongHold
team.  I've had a chance to practice in Johnny's truck  -- next
weekend I get to put that practical experience to the test and see how I
match up against the best in that class!  I'm grateful to Scott
Bailey, Johnny, my sponsors, and everyone involved that helped make this
all come together.”


The Jeremy McGrath driven Pro 4, in the StrongHold Motorsports arsenal,
represents a significant addition to the Superteam lineup that boasts
2009 Pro Buggy Champion Chuck Cheek and past ProLite champions Rob
Naughton and Marty Hart. “Our team is constantly developing and we are
never content resting on our laurels,” declared StrongHold Team Owner
Scott Bailey. “We were able to obtain a Pro 4 Unlimited truck to add to
our roster and being able to put a superstar like Jeremy McGrath behind
the wheel for our first race was a great fit. Jeremy not only has had
great success, but like us, he is very family oriented. We are excited
to have him as part of our team for this race."


When asked about his plans post the Vegas Motor Speedway race, McGrath
had this say, “I've got my Pro 2 truck prepped and ready to go and plan
on actually heading to Crandon to test within the next two weeks. 
Right now, I've got my eye on this upcoming Pro 4 race and super pumped
for this opportunity!”


Jeremy McGrath's Personal 2010 sponsors include Monster Energy
Drink; American Honda; Parts Unlimited; Thor; Spy Optics; DC Shoes; Troy
Lee Designs; Kicker Audio; and Motorcycle Mechanics Institute.
