is ready for AMA Supercross Lites East Region opener

Tevin Tapia, Ricky Renner and Vernon McKiddie to represent team in the East Region

HOUSTON (February 10, 2011) –
Team Violation1.com/Shea Racing/Travisa/National Switchgear, powered by
Munn Racing KTM, is ready to transition to the East Region for Monster
Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, at Reliant Stadium in
Houston, Texas this Saturday, February 12. This is the hometown race
for the team and the debut for new team riders Tevin Tapia and Ricky
Renner and returning team member Vernon McKiddie on their KTM 250 SX-F
race bikes.

Two
years ago, Shea Racing debuted its new AMA Supercross team right here
at the Houston round. The team has evolved drastically as it expanded
to campaign five riders in both East and West regions on KTM “Ready to
Race” bikes fielded out of an impressive bright purple, yellow and
black semi rig hauler.

The
East Region Lites roster is Tapia of Boney Lake, Wash., Renner of
Lakeland, Fla. and McKiddie of Huffman, Texas. Tapia, riding the number
70 KTM 250 SX-F and Renner on the number 94 KTM are new to the team,
while McKiddie competing on the number 129 KTM returns for his second
year. All three riders have been practicing on their KTM race bikes
since late last year.

The
goal is for all three Team Violation1.com/Shea Racing/Travisa/National
Switchgear riders to qualify for the night program and then earn a heat
race transfer to the AMA Supercross Lites main event on their Eleven 10
Mods/DR.D/Enzo KTM 250 SX-F race bikes.

“We
are ready to drive down the road from our shop and take on the East
Region Lites class,” said Tim Shea, team manager. “Our program is much
different and vastly improved from last year. During the West Region
series we proved our team can be competitive on our KTM race bikes.
Vernon [McKiddie] and the team have a good relationship with one season
under our belt, so we know what is required to support him in getting
to the main event. We welcome Tevin [Tapia] and Ricky [Renner] on board
the team and will provide support on race day to get them both into the
main.”

Shea
continued, “Besides a hometown race for our team, this is also a home
state race for our presenting sponsor National Switchgear that is based
in Lewisville, Texas which is near Dallas. We expect to host a number
of National Switchgear guests. Houston is also one of the locations for
our other corporate sponsor, Travisa. A few Travisa representatives
will be in our hospitality area as well. We encourage fans to stop by
our pit to check us out and meet some new faces to our sport.”

Team
Violation1.com/Shea Racing/Travisa/National Switchgear, powered by Munn
Racing KTM, will head to round six of Monster Energy AMA Supercross on
Saturday, February 12, 2011 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, which

Renner #94 and Vernon McKiddie #129 on their DeCal Works-emblazoned KTM
250 SX-F race bikes with bodies fueled by PowerBar. During the pit
