Indianapolis, IN - Team San Manuel Yamaha Red Bull’s James Stewart visited the LeGore Boys & Girls Club in Indianapolis last Friday as part of the Team San Manuel Community Outreach Program. The Program is intended to inspire children to live healthier lifestyles and strive for success by eating right, exercising, doing well in school and believing in themselves.
Nearly one hundred fifty kids were treated to a revved up surprise when Stewart entered their gymnasium on his YZ450F race bike in full gear. Stewart talked with the kids about the importance of staying fit, eating right, and believing in themselves. “I spend a lot of time riding my bike and training in the gym so I can stay strong and win races,” Stewart said to the kids. “Of course, education is #1, my Mom always made me do my homework before I could ride my dirt bike. It’s important that you work hard in school no matter what it is you want to be.” After talking with the children about the important role education and fitness has played on his path to success, Team San Manuel’s Stewart kicked it up a notch when he offered up his gloves and goggles to the best girl and boy winners of a dance off.
“We are so happy that James Stewart and Team San Manuel stopped by the Club to visit with our members and talk with them about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle,” said Juan Ongay, unit director. “The members were really receptive to what Bubba had to say about fitness and nutrition and this was a great opportunity for our kids.”
After a Q & A session with the kids, Stewart signed posters for everyone and posed for pictures. Stewart now sits in second place in the AMA Supercross Series with 195 points, 26 points shy of the lead; Team San Manuel’s Regal is in 14th place with 60 points, but is out for the remainder of the season with an injury.
