MX Sports Pro Racing Announces Winner of "Team Member for a Day" Sweepstakes
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Since the opening of the "Team Member of the Day" with Monster Energy Kawasaki Sweepstakes back in January at Anaheim, thousands of fans have entered their names throughout select events during the remainder of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season in hopes of being selected as the lucky winner.
On Saturday night at the Supercross season finale from Las Vegas, months of anticipation came to a close as Josh Lehman, of Eugene, Ore., was drawn at random as the grand prize winner.
As the recipient of this one of a kind experience, Lehman will receive airfare to the race of his choice, two nights of hotel lodging, a rental car, and two VIP credentials to the Washougal national, the race of his/her choice. Lehman will also receive a Monster Energy Kawasaki team shirt and team hat while having the opportunity to hang out in the reigning Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship-winning team's pit until the gates drop on the day's first moto.
"I think that this is going to be a great opportunity," said Lehman. "To be able to spend some time with the Monster Energy Kawasaki team is awesome and it will give me chance to meet some important people within the industry."
