Irvine, Calif. (December 17, 2007) - The Motosport Xtreme Kawasaki team is looking for a banner year in 2008 with Motosport.com as a title sponsor and a crop of talented riders signed for the season. Tommy Hahn and Andrew McFarlane are slated to ride the Monster Energy Supercross Series, an FIM Championship, West Coast season with the familiar red and black Motosport.com logo across their shrouds. On the East Coast, it will be Kyle Chisholm and Phil Nicoletti.

Motosport.com has inked a two-year deal, renewing their title sponsorship for not only the professional team but also the Motosport Xtreme Team Green. The association gives Motosport.com the ability to participate in two premier racing series and reach a wide spectrum of off-road motorcyclists.

"Motosport.com is the leader in off road catalog sales," said Team Owner Bobby Hewitt. "We are happy to be working with a company that exposes new consumers to dirt motorcycling, while continuing to serve the immediate needs of the core consumers. This partnership is also a great opportunity for our associate sponsors, whose products are featured on our race bikes, giving them a direct connection to dirt consumers."

Motosport.com is continuing its sponsorship with the team and is excited about the upcoming 2008 season.

Jon White, CEO and President of Motosport.com adds, "Since its inception, Motosport has supported the off-road racing community. This is just one more step in our vision to support riders of many ages and skill levels."

By expanding sponsorship to both the Xtreme Kawasaki pro and amateur teams, Motosport.com is making good on a commitment made last summer to serve more of the amateur community. Jon went on to say, "Motosport's support of the racing community has always been an important way for us to connect to our core consumers. By partnering with Xtreme Kawasaki across two different racing series we are pleased to be able to strengthen that relationship even more."

Hahn and McFarlane will be the first team riders on the track as they will compete in the supercross lites West championship. Hahn made his pro supercross debut in 2005 competing for the West title. During the past two seasons, he has raced for the East Coast title. In motocross lites competition, Hahn has scored nine top-10 finishes.

His teammate McFarlane came across the Pacific Ocean from his native Australia in 2006 to compete for the West Coast title. Although injuries kept him from completing a full season he scored two podium finishes in AMA Motocross Lites competition in 2006, and a top-five last season.

"Tommy and Andrew are ready for a great season," said Motosport Xtreme Kawasaki Team Manager Bill Keefe. "Both guys have been testing really well on the Supercross track and we are expecting good results."

Former Team GreenTM standout Kyle Chisholm will ride for the East Coast title after he broke his thumb preparing for the upcoming season. Chisholm had surgery on December 4 and is expected to miss only four to six weeks, giving him more than enough time to prepare for the East Coast season. Joining Chisholm in East Coast competition will be Phil Nicoletti.

"It is a shame Kyle was injured," said Keefe. "But he will be back 100 percent for the start of East Coast. He and Phil are a good fit and I think they will be very tough this year."

The 2008 AMA Supercross Lites West Coast season kicks-off on January 5 in Anaheim.

TEAM UPDATE

In the first race of the year at Anaheim 1, Hahn finished 6th and McFarlane finished 8th after starts of 8th and 15th, respectively.
