Langston-Witt Racing to Compete in the Monster Energy Cup
AURORA, Ill. (June 1, 2012) – Feld Motor Sports® caught up with Langston-Witt
Racing Team Manager and two-time Supercross Lites Class Champion Grant Langston
to discuss the second-annual Monster Energy Cup at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium
on October 20. Langston announced today that his team will be lining up at this
year’s Monster Energy Cup.
“The
Monster Energy Cup is a great event,” said Langston. “I think it’s cool to have
a different format and I like how the track is a bit different. It definitely
brought a cool factor to the race. We plan to be there and are excited to see
how things play out.”

The
2012 Monster Energy Cup features an all-new track design inspired by five-time
Supercross Class Champion Ricky Carmichael. The Carmichael-inspired track
design will consist of supercross and motocross obstacles unlike any other
racetrack design in the world. More than 200’ of the track will be built into
the grandstands, and the riders exit the stadium and race through the Monster
Energy Fan Zone outside of the stadium and through the pit area before they
catapult back into the stadium. The Monster Energy Cup posts a $250,000 purse
with the winner walking away with a $100,000 check, and any rider that wins all
three Main Events will take home $1 million.
