Courtesy of Supercross Media

AURORA, Ill. (December 14, 2012) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that CBS will air the 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season preview show Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. ET as part of the CBS Sports Spectacular programming. The 60-minute preview show will provide fans an inside look at the highly anticipated 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season that opens Saturday, January 5, 2013 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.

“We are on the brink of one of the most exciting, parity-filled, seasons ever,” said Dave Prater, director of supercross, Feld Motor Sports. “CBS will capture the essence of the upcoming 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season, on December 22nd, through the top riders and teams in this 60-minute special before the season begins in Anaheim.”

CBS Sports will broadcast a total of nine hours of Monster Energy Supercross in 2013, including five 450SX Class races, the season preview show, the midseason show, the year-end show and a special on two-time defending Monster Energy Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto.

The entire 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Championship’s television package will be announced next week.

Two-time defending champion Villopoto hopes to become just the fourth rider in the sport’s history to win three consecutive 450SX Class Championships. If successful, he will join Bob Hannah, Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael in this elite category, but the path to victory will not be easy. For the first time in 40 years of racing, a record 10 riders will line up at the starting gate with Main Event wins to their name, including current champion Villopoto, Ryan Dungey, James Stewart, Chad Reed, Kevin Windham, Trey Canard, Davi Millsaps, Josh Hill, Josh Grant and Andrew Short.

Highlighting the group are former 450SX Class Champions Dungey (’10), Stewart (’07 & ’09) and Reed (’04 & ’08). Two-time 250SX Class Champion Justin Barcia, who recently won the Monster Energy Cup, will make his 450SX Class debut, adding to the parity of the season. Windham enters his 17th season of racing with 18 450SX Class wins, second on the all-time start list with 204 and has finished in the top five in nine seasons.

New this year will be the Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Suzuki/Bel-Rey team, led by 15-time AMA National Champion Ricky Carmichael and freestyle motocross icon Carey Hart, featuring riders Hill and Broc Tickle. Also, Stewart will make his Monster Energy Supercross debut aboard his new team, Yoshimura Suzuki, in pursuit of becoming just the second rider in history to win 450SX Class Championships on three different brands.

Also, after a five-year hiatus, Monster Energy Supercross will welcome back the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge (KJSC) to the 2013 season at select races. Over the years, some of the top riders have competed in the KJSC, including Ryan Dungey, Mike Alessi and Eli Tomac to name a few.

Team will host hospitality events during AMA Supercross rounds for National Switchgear clients

HOUSTON (December 11, 2012) – National Switchgear took a big leap of faith in 2011 when they came on board to serve as the presenting sponsor for the Shea Racing team in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. The corporation benefited greatly from the onsite hospitality events for clients, exposing them to the most popular action sport. After scaled-down involvement during the 2012 season, Shea Racing is proud to announce that National Switchgear will be fully on board as the corporate presenting sponsor for the team’s participation in the AMA Supercross East Region.

“We are very pleased to continue our long-term relationship with Tim Shea of Shea Racing as we will be teaming up together for the 2013 AMA Supercross East Coast season,” said Doug Powell, president of National Switchgear. “National Switchgear’s business philosophy of integrity and honesty go hand-in-hand with the way Tim operates the team. We have an unbelievable group of people and we are really looking forward to the start of the season on February 16 at Cowboys Stadium.”

National Switchgear is an industry-leader in power distribution equipment and services, offering a broad line of new and repurposed electrical equipment from its extensive inventory. National also provides shop, engineering and onsite services for all power systems, including remanufacturing of circuit breakers, switchgear and related components, maintenance, testing, power system studies, and disaster recovery operations. It is based in Lewisville, Texas which is near Dallas. The company created a “Supercross” section on its website in 2011. You may learn more at http://www.nationalswitchgear.com.

Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear will soon announce the athletes who will compete on the SMS Racing-prepared KTM 250 SX-F race bikes.

“This will be our third season with National Switchgear,” said Tim Shea, team manager. “I’m very happy to be working with Doug and his staff again. There are very few companies that are outside of the industry and willing to back a Supercross team. The whole team appreciates their dedicated support.”

National Switchgear will host honorary VIP team members at the AMA Supercross East Region rounds. They will have access to the team pit area, be given team shirts, receive a complimentary meal and participate in a track walk thanks to Feld Motor Sports.

Team PassportWorld.com/Shea Racing/National Switchgear powered by SMS Racing KTM will make its 2013 season debut at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross East Region opener on Saturday, February 16 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
