Murrieta, CA (1/8/2010)
- KTM and Eichner Racing are
proud to announce a partnership for the 2010
WORCS and ITP QuadCross seasons in which Doug
Eichner will compete aboard KTM SX ATVs. Eichner’s
first race aboard the KTM 450 SX ATV will take
place at the opening WORCS round at Speed World
Raceway in Phoenix, Ariz., January 22 weekend.
“We are excited to have a talented, multi-time
champion in that of Doug Eichner represent KTM
here on the West Coast,” ATV Product Manager
Chris Vogtman said. “Eichner can still
haul the mail and he’s well liked and
very approachable at the track. And, with Eichner
riding orange, there’s no doubt he’s
still a championship threat.”
“Eichner Racing is excited to be hooked
up with KTM and the fastest racing machines
on the market,” Eichner said. “We
know the machines have what it takes to be competitive
out of the box and we look forward to a great
2010 season with KTM.
“I firmly believe KTM has the most ready
to race product on the market and I like my
chances this year.”
In addition to racing in the displacement limited
450 Pro class at WORCS and ITP QuadCross, Eichner
will compete aboard a 505 SX ATV in the Open
Pro class at select QuadCross events.
