KTM Junior Supercross Challenge Joins With 2013 Arenacross Season
Feld Motor Sports Announces the Introduction of the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge (KJSC) at Select Stops Throughout the 2013 AMSOIL Arenacross Season
Feld Motor Sports® announced recently that the popular KTM Junior
Supercross Challenge (KJSC) that will be making its return to the
2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, will
also be debuting at the Wilkes Barre, Pa., (February 9) and Kansas
City, Mo., (March 2) stops of the 2013 AMSOIL Arenacross season,
where the future stars of the sport are showcased in a professional
racing environment.
The KJSC will select 15 lucky racers for the chance of a lifetime
as they live the life of a factory rider. Aboard identically
prepared, factory backed KTM 50SXS bikes these riders will be
competing on the very same track as the superstars of AMSOIL
Arenacross. The junior racers will also be provided custom racing
gear and their very own crew to work on the bikes.
During race day, KJSC riders will be able to participate in the
rider track walk, opening ceremonies and autograph sessions just
like AMSOIL Arenacross competitors and fellow KTM teammates Jeff
Gibson and Kelly Smith. KJSC riders will have a full day of
activities, from the minute they arrive. These riders will be
pitted in a state of the art KJSC race team transporter where they
will gear up to begin afternoon practice laps and prepare
themselves to compete in a four-lap exhibition race which takes
place during the night program.
"With all of the success the KJSC has had in the past with Monster
Energy Supercross, we are excited to expand the program in to
AMSOIL Arenacross for 2013," said Todd Jendro, vice president of
two wheel operations, Feld Motor Sports. "The KJSC program has been
a springboard for notable factory standouts such as Ryan Dungey,
Mike Alessi
and Eli Tomac to
name a few, so we are pleased to promote this positive and family
friendly program into our sport."
Interested applicants must be 7-8 years old and meet the full
requirements listed in the official rules. All rules and online
entry forms can be found at the KJSC event website www.ktmjrsx.com. The KJSC is held at two
of the AMSOIL Arenacross races. Any additional inquiries about the
KTM Junior Supercross Challenge should be directed a local KTM
dealership.
