A quick happy birthday goes out from all of us at AMSOIL to Geico Powersports supercross rider Justin Barcia. Barcia just turned 18 on Thursday and is doing what most new legal voters are doing on a Saturday night, trying to win the AMA Monster Energy Supercross in Jacksonville.
Barcia now sits third overall in the SX Lites East Coast Series, just 25 points behind defending champion Christophe Pourcel.
(Check out Barcia's teammate, Blake Wharton, on Racer X Video).
Team AMSOIL road racer Larry Pegram finished on the podium in Daytona earlier this month and now he has his sights set on winning in California. Pegram will join the rest of the AMA Pro Racing teams at Auto Club Speedway Friday through Saturday. AMSOIL is the Exclusive Official Oil of AMA Pro Road Racing and the presenting sponsor of the Daytona Sport Bike class.
Finally, if you happen to be in Las Vegas this weekend, stop by Sam Boyd Stadium for the Monster Jam World Finals. AMSOIL Shock Therapy driver Jon Zimmer has quickly established himself as one of the top drivers in the world and is competing in his first Monster Jam event. Only 24 trucks are invited and the Monster Jam 2009 Rising Star Zimmer is looking for the biggest win of his career. The World Finals start tonight and finish up tomorrow.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
