Calen McGinty - Suzuki LTR450 ATV |
Atlanta, GA (3/5/2011) -
The Lonestar Racing/ Morehead Motorsports/ Media
Allstars “Amateur Powerhouse” Team
proves that it’s ready and itching to
dominate the 2011 ATV MX Season. “We’ve
been working hard this off-season to ensure
that we’re at our best throughout the
amateur ranks.
We’ve locked in some of the best sponsors,
and riders, and there’s no reason why
we shouldn’t be able to dominate.”
Despite the roughest economy our sport has endured,
the team has landed support from nearly twenty-five
aftermarket sponsors, as well as some non-Industry
sponsors.
“It’s really flattering that companies
trust us enough to do a good job that they’re
helping despite their limited budgets. I guess
it’s a testament to our ability to do
“more with less” than anyone else
out there.” Despite the economy, the 2011
version of the team is the biggest yet, with
20 ATV MX riders, three UTV/ SxS racers, and
a newly added ATV Freestyle branch. The MX team
will contest all 11 rounds of the ATV MX Nationals,
which kicked off last weekend in Georgia, and
will criss-cross the country before ending August
16th at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane
Mills, Tennessee.

Jake McGraw - Suzuki LTR450 ATV |
Flying the team flag will be Multi-time National
Champion, Team Manager and Racer Chase Cunningham,
2010 Production C & 4 Stroke Class Champion
Dylan Tremellan, Jake McGraw, Ryan Wheeler,
Dale Batson, Calen McGinty, Austin McGraw, Kyle
Schonert, Nacy Stone, Clayton Chinn, Mario DiAngelo,
Mark Batson, Bailey Howard, Logan Howard (limited
schedule), Matthew Holly, Josh Holly, Nick Lepkoske,
Brandon Benlien, Cody Kimberlin, Dan Hoisington,
& Alex Kersey.
“This is probably the most stacked team
we’ve had since 2007. I busted my butt
recruiting, and I think my efforts will pay
off.” Says Team Manager Chase Cunningham.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with
the roster, or overall feel we’ve got
this year. This is a long season, and without
good chemistry [on the team] it can seem twice
as long. We’ve got four sets of brothers
on the team (The McGraws, Holleys, Howards,
and Batsons), which has to be some sort of record.
Chase picked not only fast riders, but great
kids with great families, and that’ll
make it a fun year.” Stated Team Owner/
Sponsor Coordinator Jorge Cuartas. In addition
to the fully supported Amateur roster, the team
will be offering support to Sean Taylor &
Zach Harris in the Pro Am ranks.
Sponsor-wise, obviously Lonestar Racing is
once again leading the charge for the team,
along with Maxxis Tires, Maxima Lubricants,
G4 Graphics, Rath Racing, One Industries, MotoXperts,
Yoshimura R&D, Suzuki City, Uni Filters,
SixSixOne, Tag Metals, Sunline Sprockets, Fox
Shox, Powermadd, Oury Grips, Maier Mfg., Precision
racing products, Smith Optics, Idol Speed (holeshot
devices), Outerwears, & Quadtech
“We’ve got a good thing going,
there’s not a single sponsor whose products
we feel are sub-par, it’s all top shelf,
and all products that we prefer to use. I guess
it’s what happens when the Team Management
actually races as well.”
“Round One showed that we’re ready,
we were in the fight all weekend long, and I
think our presence was undeniable. The funny
thing, is we didn’t even have our pit
set up, or the entire team in attendance, the
early start to the season, and close proximity
to the Indy Dealer show, combined to keep us
from being 100% ready pit-wise, We’re
going to shock the Industry with our set up
at Round Two.”
The Team’s bikes not only looked great,
but they ripped monster holeshots thanks to
the Moto X-Perts motors they’re running
this season. Handling-wise, Lonestar’s
new DC Pro Component line worked flawlessly.
