Jeremy McGrath and Larry Brooks join forces again with DC and Supercross.com on board as sponsors




January 25, 2012 – Huntington Beach, CA - DC Shoes has signed on to support the new Supercross.com
/ Honda racing team owned by Jeremy McGrath and Larry Brooks. DC will
be the official footwear and apparel sponsor of the team.

 

Owned and managed by Larry Brooks and Jeremy McGrath, the team made
their first appearance at the Anaheim Supercross earlier this year. Both
Brooks and McGrath bring a wealth of personal history and experience to
the partnership and the new team. Brooks, a race team manager, has
overseen many AMA Supercross Champions, including Jeremy McGrath
himself. The legendary McGrath is arguably the most storied racer in AMA
Supercross, and has won more Supercross races and championships than
anyone in history. McGrath has had a long and successful relationship
with DC Shoes, which made this an ideal partnership for both parties.

 

“We are excited to support Jeremy in his next venture in the motocross
world. He has developed a stellar team and with great partners like Supercross.com and Larry Brooks, Andrew Short is primed for success,” said DC Director of Marketing, Brian Cassaro.



Jeremy McGrath, the 7-time AMA Supercross Series champion said, "I've
been involved with DC for a number of years. They are a quality company,
with quality people, and make great products. I've made it a point in
my career to only work with companies and products that I truly believe
in. DC makes products that people of all ages would enjoy."



"DC is a brand that we are excited to have associated with our team.
Many people worldwide know that DC makes great stuff, but our goal is to
help expand the brand even further with our new race team. I couldn't
be happier to have a brand like DC associated with our race team," said
Larry Brooks, Race Team Manager and Co-owner.



Supercross.com has also brought on Angry Bikes as the associate sponsor of the team. Angrybikes.com
features a brand new arcade style motocross game created for the
Iphone. Just in time for Supercross season, the game launched on January
19th and is available now for download in the App store.  



"Bringing DC and the Supercross.com / Honda race team together is a perfect union. Supercross.com aims to be the best in its field, exactly as DC has done. DC is known worldwide for being 'the best.’The Supercross.com
/ Honda race team has that same goal - to be the best, and couldn't do
it without the help and support of DC," said Matt Cook, new owner of Supercross.com.



In addition to being the title sponsor of the racing team, will also
serve as the key platform for launching all Honda Racing Team related
news and information. See the DC supported Supercross.com / Honda race team at upcoming AMA Supercross and Motocross events thru early September.
