Irvine, Calif. – Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green dominated both amateur national events held in Texas over the last two weeks, taking a grand total of 35 championships at the Lake Whitney Spring Classic and the GNC Finals at Oak Hill. The first amateur national of the year started out with Kawasaki earning 16 championships and 23 additional trips to the podium at Lake Whitey MX. During week two at Oak Hill MX Park, the green riders stepped up their championship run, winning 19 titles and 25 additional podiums.

The first two nationals of the year came and went with Kawasaki showing its’ dominance once again. The green riders came away with a total of 35 championships, more than any other manufacturer in competition. They also racked up 48 podium finishes during the two weeks. 

“We had a great two weeks,” said Ryan Holliday, Team Green Supervisor. “The riders were really fast at both events and really made the Kawasaki brand stand out amongst the competition.”

Coming into Texas, 13-year-old Adam Cianciarulo was focused and ready to make it a great two weeks. He succeed as he won 14 of his 16 motos and earned 7 championships. He was perfect at Oak Hill, winning every moto and championship entered. 

“The feeling of winning a championships never gets old,” said Cianciarulo. “I still feel the same way I did when I won my first title.”

New team member Jason Anderson started out his 2010 season with five championships and four-second place finishes. The 17-year old has adapted to the KX™250F and KX™450F and looks to be more determined than ever to win big this season.

Returning Team Green rider Justin Summers, 15, turned heads at the both rounds in Texas. He was a consistent threat for moto wins and took home three championships and two podium finishes. For the 2010 season, Summers stepped up his program and it showed on the tracks in Texas. 

“I feel a lot stronger now that I’m working with a trainer,” said Summers. “It’s made such a big difference and I think it is starting to show in my racing.”

Earl May’s love for racing had him driving from Florida on Monday after attending the amateur racing school at Daytona International Speedway to Lake Whitney, Texas that night to make it for the first set of motos on Tuesday. The busy schedule didn’t seem to interrupt the 46-year-old’s focus as he won six titles and one podium during his time in Texas.

The commitment of great trackside support continued at the two nationals in Texas, with Team Green staff ready to help out with tech support and emergency parts. The service is open for any Kawasaki rider that is in need of help.

New sponsor Traxxas was on hand with their semi-truck at both rounds in Texas. The radio control company built tracks at each location for racers to come out with their Traxxas trucks and test their skills. Traxxas’ commitment mirrors Team Green’s as they were available to tech support and parts. 



“Traxxas was definitely popular at the events in Texas,” said Holliday. “They do a great job helping out their customers with trouble shooting and parts supply. The demo track they build gives the kids a safe place to hang out during their downtime and still have a great time.”
