KTM's #25 Chuckie Creech - Extreme Dirt Track Pro ATV Racer

Murrieta, CA (2/20/2009) - With the 2009 race season only weeks away, KTM has announced the addition of several new riders to their support program that will be participating in a wide variety of events over the coming year.

Although KTM has scaled back a bit on their factory efforts due to the economy, they have extended their support program to include a more grassroots style program. Among those that will be participating in the KTM rider support program is Extreme Dirt Track National Pro, Chuckie Creech.

Chuckie will be making his KTM debut aboard the KTM 450SX for the EDT series and will also be trying his hand at a few National Motocross events as well.

“Chuckie has show a lot of potential and we are very excited to have him on board for the EDT series, especially because of the heritage that goes along with that series with Tim Farr being a former champion,” said KTM Specialty Vehicle Product Line Manager, Chris Vogtman.

ITP Quadcross pro racer Jason Fife will be one of the riders chosen to represent KTM on the west coast. “Jason is a young rider with a lot of potential and we a re really looking forward to seeing his performance in an exciting and fast growing series such as the ITP Quadcross,” stated Vogtman.

KTM will also be providing support to Nate Morello, who will be returning to the Pro class of the NEATV-MX series this year and Adam Clark will be sporting the orange and black colors in the AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Pro-am class for 2009. The desert racing team of Cody Mitchell and Shaun Moore will competing on the KTM 525XC in the Quad Pro class of the BITD series out west and have already seen some good results taking second in their class at the season opener.

KTM is already boasting an impressive roster of talented riders, but they don’t plan to stop there, and will be adding more riders to the support program. “We are still waiting for confirmation from a couple of other riders and we will announce them at a later date,” said Vogtman. “We are also making strong offers to the amateur racers in ATV racing. We don’t want to be known as just a dirtbike company, but also as a company that makes great ATV’s and is there to support the efforts of all racers in this sport,” Vogtman concluded.

Although the ’09 season is almost here, KTM states that they are still accepting resumes for their support program through the end of February. Any riders who are interested in obtaining support for the 2009 season, should email their resumes to ktmatvracer@ktmnorthamerica.com.
