Hart and Huntington Supercross Team Intro

Hart and Huntington Racing introduced its ’12 Supercross team Thursday night at the Sycuan Casino near San Diego, California. The casino is the team’s latest partner and supported the event by hosting a freestyle demo with Drake McElroy and Lance Coury.

“We know that motocross is a sport that resonates with our local community and are excited to partner with the most innovative team in the industry,” said Sheila Howe, General Manager of Sycuan Casino. “Our goal is to host more fun and entertaining events, like Liv Fast Moto Demo, for our guests.  Furthermore, we’re personally huge fans of Hart and Huntington and can’t wait to see how the team performs in the upcoming Supercross season.”

Returning to the team are Ivan Tedesco and Josh Hill who is now back in the saddle of his dirt bike after sufferings a career-altering crash in the summer of ’10. Hill has been rehabbing and training in an effort to reboot his racing career at Anaheim in January. Joining the team this year are Josh Hansen and Kyle Partridge. The squad will be competing on Kawasaki’s ’12 KX450F as tested in the 2012 Kawasaki KX450F First Ride and will all be outfitted in Shift Racing apparel available at Motorcycle-Superstore.com.

"I’m really looking forward to next season and couldn’t be happier about the talent behind our new team riders and the amazing support of our sponsors," said Carey Hart, team owner and freestyle legend. “These guys have so much energy and passion in their riding that I know a Hart and Huntington racer will make a big impact this season, just like we did last year.  All of our sponsors are the driving force behind our success; elevating us to the next level and giving us the opportunity to double our team in a time when other programs are cutting back or worse, not coming back out at all.”

Hart and Huntington’s first race outing will be at the ’12 Supercross season opener at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California January 7, 2012.
