REED IN FOR MONSTER ENERGY CUP
T
wo-time Supercross Cham-
pion Chad Reed will compete
in next month's Monster Energy
Cup in Las Vegas, October 13,
as a member of the Autotrader/
Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Rac-
ing Team (JGRMX).
This won't be Reed's first
time on the JGRMX Suzuki. As
you might remember, he con-
tested the final round of the 2018
outdoor nationals in Indiana as a
guest rider, but now he'll be with
the team a little longer.
"My experience with the team
at the Ironman National was awe-
some," said the 36-year-old. "The
race went better than I person-
ally thought it would, because I
wasn't in 100 percent race shape.
I achieved my personal goals.
Since that time, I have continued
to work with the team and help
test the Suzuki RM-Z450. I'm
enjoying the bike and team. I
am looking forward to racing the
Monster Energy Cup."
Team Manager Jeremy
Albrecht said, "Chad Reed has
been outstanding to work with.
He has proven to be a valued ad-
dition to our testing program with
the Suzuki RM-Z450. I'm eager
to see Reed race in Las Vegas,
and I think we will turn heads.
This should be fun."
In addition to racing, Reed will
be on hand to sign autographs
and meet fans at the Suzuki
display during the sixth annual
AIMExpo, which will be held at
Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Con-
vention Center the week leading
up to the race. He will be joined
by Weston Peick, who recently
inked a contract extension with
the Autotrader/Yoshimura Suzuki
Factory Racing Team for 2019.
Reed and Peick's autograph
sessions will be on Thursday,
October 11, and Sunday, October
14, from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
at the Suzuki display. AIMExpo
attendees will also be able to
take a tour through the Auto-
trader/Yoshimura Suzuki Factory
Racing Team Transport (which
will be indoors, adjacent to the
Suzuki display) on Thursday,
from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. CN
