Lindstrom Named Honda HRC
Team Manager
A
merican Honda recently
announced that Lars Lind-
strom has been promoted to
the position of Team Manager
of the factory Team Honda HRC
motocross/supercross effort.
Erik Kehoe, who held the po-
sition previously and announced
his retirement last month, will
stay on through the off-season
to assist in the transition.
Although new to the position,
Lindstrom has a long history
with American Honda's moto-
cross racing project, and an
even longer involvement with
the sport. His father is Swedish-
born American motocross/
off-road pioneer and AMA Mo-
torcycle Hall of Famer Gunnar
Lindstrom, who actually man-
aged Honda's motocross-racing
program for the 1979 and 1980
seasons.
Lars joined Honda as a shop
assistant in 2000 and worked
his way up, serving in just
about every capacity, includ-
ing mechanic, parts room,
engine tech, suspension tech,
special projects, and most
recently, 450 crew chief. Over
the years, he has worked with
a long list of legendary riders,
including Jeremy McGrath,
Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed,
Kevin Windham and of course
the current lineup: Ken Roczen,
Chase Sexton, and Hunter and
Jett Lawrence.
