Team ROCKWELL / FirePoliceMX.com Racing
In 2002 Team FirePoliceMX.com Racing was created to advertise for the Fire &
Police Motocross Nationals. Professional privateer riders were able to
get some support for their racing effort. In return the FPMX was able to
reach Firefighters and Police Officers who shared the same passion for
motocross. Over the years those riders carrying the FPMX colors include:
Jason Wood, Rob Harper, Matt Hopkins, Ross Garcia, Jessica Snyder, Daton
Beavers, Jeremy Chaussee, Tommy Harrison, Jason Partridge, Nathan
Crawford, Gray Davenport, Ted Campbell, Aubriana Dunn, Rodrig Thain, Joe
Oehlhof, Dennis Jonon, Anthony Charette, Kevin Rookstool, Tyler Kalisiak,
Carlos Gonzalez, Eric Nye, Dennis Ewing, Bradley Graham, Austin Prescott, Ryan Beat,
Ryan Smith, Jesse Casillas, Landen Powel, Justin Keeney, Jason Potter,
Parker Eckman and Cole Seibler. The team has gone from
a pick up truck to a full blown race hauler and is continuing to make
it's mark on professional Supercross.
Two new venues added to 2011 Monster Energy Supercross schedule
Dodger Stadium and Oakland Alameda City Stadium are added venues for
2011 ...
Feld Motor Sports announced the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an
FIM World Championship, schedule that kicks off January 8 at Angel
Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., and concludes at Las Vegas' Sam Boyd Stadium
on May 7. Monster Energy Supercross will showcase the world's premier
indoor off-road motorcycle racing championship at some of the world's
most prominent stadiums in 2011, including two new events.
Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles will host its first-ever Monster Energy
Supercross race January 22, which is the tour's third race. Monster
Energy Supercross will maintain its tradition in Anaheim while expanding
into Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. From Los Angeles, Monster Energy
Supercross will head to Oak-Alameda City Stadium in Oakland, Calif., for
the first time since 1984 on January 29.
"The 2011 Monster Energy Supercross schedule, which includes two new
venues, sets the stage for next year and we will continue to assemble
several key enhancements to build this brand and the sport of supercross.
We are excited to showcase the inaugural Monster Energy Supercross races
at the legendary Dodgers Stadium and return to Oakland's Oak-Alameda
City Stadium" said Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO, Feld Entertainment.
"Year after year, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, is very exciting, captive and unpredictable. Who would
have thought that
Ryan
Dungey would win the title in his first year of participation
Supercross is an excellent showcase for FIM motor sports and the number
of its fans grows every year, as their appetite to see Monster Energy
AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship events go worldwide. This is
also the FIM's wish. We know Feld Motor Sports is working hard on that
for the future and we are pleased to see that the 2011 calendar counts
another 17 events" said FIM President Vito Ippolito.
"Since the early 1970s, AMA Supercross has provided the stage, and the
best motorcycle racers in the world have delivered the talent, to create
one of the most exciting championship series on two wheels. The AMA is
very pleased to continue working with our promotional partner, Feld
Motor Sports, to deliver both a level playing field and high-octane
thrills to hundreds of thousands of fans across the United States" said
AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman.
Reigning Monster Energy Supercross champion
Ryan Dungey will
defend his championship in 2011 after becoming the youngest rider in
history to be crowned AMA Supercross class champion.
"Anaheim 1 is probably the biggest and most anticipated race we have in
our sport, but I like San Francisco, Atlanta, St. Louis, and Indy
because they are better suited to my style. The crowds are big in all of
those cities, the towns are cool and the tracks are great, but I am a
racer, so I am ready to go wherever they line us up at. I have to
prepare for a long season that is 17 races in 18 weeks. It is grueling
on your body and mind. I experienced that last year and know a little
more now what to expect. And with the return of
James Stewart,
Chad Reed, and
Ryan Villopoto,
it should be a good one that hopefully goes down to the wire" said
Dungey.
