Austin, Texas (6 March 2003) - - Kevin Schwantz makes his return to national competition in the newly formed AMA Red Bull Supermoto championship. Schwantz will ride self-prepared DRZ400 with support from American Suzuki, Yoshimura R&D, Michelin, Ohlins, White Brothers, VP Fuels, Joe Rocket, Parts Unlimited, Alpinestars, Braking, Motion Pro, Motul, Arai, Cytomax, ClifBar and Brand 34 apparel .
The six-race Supermoto championship series is based on the original Superbikers made-for-television series and is an interesting mix of roadracing, flat track and motocross disciplines. Though known mostly for his World Championship roadracing exploits, Schwantz’s roots in off-road experience run deep. Supermoto’s unique cross-discipline appeal inspired Schwantz to return to national-level competition. “I think Supermoto’s an exciting type of racing,” said Schwantz, “its mix of dirt and pavement with the possibility of a jump draws from three different types of competition. It should be an interesting new championship and I am excited to be involved with it. It’s been eight years since I have competed in a full series championship, and this time I am doing it just for fun!”
The 2003 schedule kicks off at the AMA Superbike/World Superbike Laguna Seca event and wraps up with a winner-take-all championship finale at Las Vegas held in conjunction with the AMA Championship Awards Banquet.
