a part of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season," Todd Jendro, vice
president of two wheel operations, Feld Motor Sports. “The program provides an
exciting and entertaining element for our supercross audience, but more
importantly, the KJSC provides a great opportunity for the youth of the sport
to showcase their talent and gives us a glimpse into the next generation of
supercross superstars. The KJSC program has been a springboard for notable
factory standouts such as Ryan Dungey, Mike Alessi and Eli Tomac to name a few.
We are proud to work with KTM on continuing to promote this positive
representation of our sport.”
