Team
Violation1.com/Shea Racing/Travisa/National Switchgear expects all six
riders to make the night program in their respective regional AMA
Supercross races and compete in main events. This is the largest team
Shea Racing has ever fielded in its three seasons, and the only time
it’s had all riders on the same equipment thanks to Munn Racing and KTM.





“We
are excited to have the resources to support six talented Lites riders
who can compete in the main events,” said Tim Shea, team manager. “This
is possible due to our primary sponsors Violation Goggles, National
Switchgear and Travisa, and certainly the factory support of KTM
through Munn Racing. We are honored to be the largest KTM supported
team and expect to fulfill the “Ready to Race” moniker by competing for
main event finishes in AMA Supercross Lites.”







Shea
continues, “Howell, Hinson and Langford on the West and Tapia, Renner
and McKiddie on the East are talented riders who needed a program that
will take them to the next level. We have put that program together. We
are only a month away from the AMA Supercross opener and our guys are
out on the practice tracks with their DR.D and Enzo Suspension-equipped
KTM 250SX-F bikes getting ready. We expect our six Lites riders to
thrive with our team!”
