Team San Manuel Visits LeGore Boys & Girls Club

Indianapolis, IN (March 17, 2011)- Team San Manuel Yamaha Red
Bulls James Stewart visited the LeGore Boys & Girls Club in Indianapolis
last Friday as part of the Team San Manuel Community Outreach Program.  The Program is intended to inspire
children to live healthier lifestyles and strive for success by eating right,
exercising, doing well in school and believing in themselves. 

Nearly one hundred fifty kids
were treated to a revved up surprise when Stewart entered their gymnasium on his
YZ450F race bike in full gear.  Stewart talked with the kids about the
importance of staying fit, eating right, and believing in themselves.  "I spend a lot of time riding my bike
and training in the gym so I can stay strong and win races," Stewart said to the
kids.   "Of course, education
is #1, my Mom always made me do my homework before I could ride my dirt
bike.  It's important that you work
hard in school no matter what it is you want to be."  After talking with the children
about the important role education and fitness has played on his path to
success, Team San Manuel's Stewart kicked it up a notch when he offered up his
gloves and goggles to the best girl and boy winners of a dance off. 


"We are so happy that James
Stewart and Team San Manuel stopped by the Club to visit with our members and
talk with them about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle," said Juan
Ongay, unit director. "The members were really receptive to what Bubba had to
say about fitness and nutrition and this was a great opportunity for our
kids."

After a Q & A session with
the kids, Stewart signed posters for everyone and posed for pictures.  Stewart now sits in second place in the
AMA Supercross Series with 195 points, 26 points shy of the lead; Team San
Manuels Regal is in 14th place with 60 points, but is out for the
remainder of the season with an injury.
