Suzuki Crossover Challenge Rides Edison International Field

AURORA, Ill. (January 14, 2002) – American Suzuki Motor Corp., returns as the title sponsor for the 2003 Crossover Challenge at the THQ World Supercross GP/AMA Supercross Series Friday, January 31, 2003 at Edison International Field in Anaheim, Calif. The 24 participants competing in the Suzuki Crossover Challenge, a collection of the world’s top action sport athletes and celebrities racing on a supercross track will compete on Suzuki’s RM 125cc motorcycle. In addition, each participant will be given his or her own mechanic and factory support.

This year’s event marks the third season that Suzuki has held the title position for the event. The factory support that Suzuki provides athletes for this event is a chance of a lifetime.

The Crossover Challenge is comprised of 24 riders, separated into eight teams of three. The combined points from all three riders determine the team’s final score. The winning team presents $1000 to a charity of their choice.

“Suzuki is proud to be a part of this event where athletes from all sports get to showcase their versatility,” said Mel Harris, vice president, American Suzuki Corp.

Mountain biker Brian Lopes, who was a member of last year’s winning team said: “I think supercross is definitely one of the best action sports out there. I go to as many supercross races I can each year. I love bicycles, but if I had to do it again, I would try supercross for a career.”
