Garrett
Marchbanks to Join Monster Energy®/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki for 2018 Motocross Season
Foothill Ranch, Calif. (April 18, 2018) – Monster
Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki welcomes Monster Energy Kawasaki
Team Green™ rider Garrett Marchbanks to their 250MX lineup for the 2018
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. Marchbanks joined Team Green in 2012 and
has since added a plethora of achievements to his resume, including the 2014
AMA Youth Motocross Racer of the Year, the 2017 AMA Amateur Motocross Racer of
the Year and eight Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur Motocross National Championships
to earn his spot on the prestigious Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad.
Marchbanks will make his professional
debut aboard his KX™250F at the first round of the Pro
Motocross Championship at the Hangtown
Motocross Classic in Sacramento, California on May 19th. Marchbanks
will look to follow in the footsteps of his Kawasaki teammate Austin Forkner
and Adam Cianciarulo who grew up as part of the Kawasaki Team Green program
before making their debut into the professional ranks at the historic Hangtown Pro
Motocross event.
“We are excited to have Garrett join us for the outdoor season,” said
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team Manager, Mitch Payton. “He has done
really well throughout his amateur career and I believe he deserves this
opportunity to showcase his incredible speed on the world stage. We welcome
Garrett to the team and look forward to him beginning his professional career
with us.”
“I watched Garrett ride for the
first time in 2011 at Ponca City, OK and was immediately impressed by his speed,” said Team Green Manager, Ryan Holliday. “Two weeks later after Loretta
Lynn's we signed him to be a part of Monster Energy Team Green and began
working towards his dream of becoming a professional racer. He's been a great
example of our program starting with young riders and following our path to
professional racing. I've always been impressed with Garrett's work ethic on
and off the track and believe he will put that hard work to use as he begins his
professional career. “
"I am super stoked on this
new opportunity and I can't wait to see what 2018 brings for me," said
Marchbanks. "I have worked so hard for this pro seat and I am ready to do
what it takes to make it to the top."
