Southwick, MA – The United States Marine Corps will partner with North Racing Incorporated (NRi) on August 28 for Moto-X 338, a premier race on the Lucas Oil AMA Professional Motocross Series at Southwick, MA.
"NRi has been a proud supporter of our nation’s servicemen and women since we began racing in 2003," said NRi owner David Briggs. "The sport of Motocross, more than most, enjoys the support of many families with sons, daughters and relatives serving in the armed forces. These loyal fans are the reason our sport is able to succeed, and it is North Racing’s goal to let them know that we support their loved ones as they serve our country."
As part of their effort, NRi has earned the support of the United States Marine Corps, who will be present at the event as NRi’s partner. The Marines will have a booth featuring a pull-up bar, Humvee, U.S. Marine Corps Recruiters and a giant inflatable Drill Instructor located on the left-hand side of Vendor Row immediately following the main entrance.
NRi riders such as Jimmy Decotis, Robbie Marshall, Mike Picone and Loretta Lynne Graduates AJ Catanzaro and Jason Brooks will be available at the U.S. Marine Corps booth for photographs and autographs throughout the event. Additionally, NRi riders will ride bikes branded with "Support Our Troops" graphics to help earn awareness.
"The U.S. Marine Corps has been an outstanding partner for this event and we are thrilled to incorporate their recruiters with NRi’s ‘Support Our Troops’ effort at Southwick," said Adam Noble, Vice President of Marketing at NRi. "We are fortunate to have such a strong local partnership with such a respectable entity during our Southwick weekend. We are looking forward to creating a memorable event at Southwick."
