RCU Welcomes Damon Bradshaw to Faculty
Morgantown, W.Va - Ricky Carmichael University is proud to welcome Damon the "Beast from the East" Bradshaw to the 2011 faculty. Bradshaw, who has won a combined 35 AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross events, brings much knowledge and experience to the program.
"I'm looking forward to coming back to Daytona, it was always one of my favorite places to race. I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with RC, Jeff Stanton and Jeff Emig at the University," said the multi-sport champion.
Bradshaw joins the panel of past champions - Ricky Carmichael, Jeff Emig and Jeff Stanton, as well as Mrs. Carmichael and 9-Time Amateur Champion Kevin Foley, for what is sure to be the most knowledgeable bunch of Supercross Professors out there.
"I've always wanted to give back to the up and coming racers and there's no greater place to do that than Ricky Carmichael University. And I've already been hearing they may be putting me in charge of Block Passing 101," joked Bradshaw.
After retiring from motocross several years ago, Damon was "recruited" to drive the US Air Force Afterburner. In 2007, his debut season of the Monster Jam series, he earned the title of Rookie of the Year. Two years later Damon won the 2009 Driver of the Year and was crowned the 2009 Monster Jam Freestyle World Champion at the World Finals in Las Vegas.
Today, Damon has continued his success as a driver most recently winning back-to-back events in San Antonio, Texas and is favored to win another championship at the 2011 Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas on March 26th at Sam Boyd Stadium.
