Born To Ride News

It’s always good to assume he thinks your packin’!

Daytona Beach, Fla...Heading across country for the second time this season, Crozier Roberson Motorsports are ready to put their DNA Energy Drink Ducati’s in the spotlight when the West Coast Monster Jam thunders into action at Infineon Raceway, May 14-16, in Sonoma, Calif.

Showcasing the talents of DNA Energy Drink pilots Bobby Fong (Stockton, Calif.) and Michael Beck (Simi Valley, Calif.) in AMA Pro Daytona SportBike and Joey Pascarella (Vacaville, Calif.) in AMA Pro SuperSport, Crozier Roberson Motorsports now boasts an all California rider lineup.

“Some of the very best road racers in the world have came from California,” says team manager and co-owner Mark Crozier. Names like Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts, Gene Romero, David Aldana, Steve McLaughlin and many others have all hailed from the “Golden State”. We want to be able to take our team to the top and with the addition of Michael (Beck) and Joey (Pascarella); we feel we have a great combination.”

All three riders are excited to be returning to Infineon. Last season, both Fong and Beck rode both Daytona SportBike rounds at Infineon with Fong taking a 13^th and 9^th place finish and Beck scoring a 12^th and 11^th. This time out they both want to be in the front of the pack.

Pascarella has only ridden at Infineon once, in 2008 in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, where he scored a 6^th place finish out of a field of 23.

“I’m definitely looking forward to this race,” says Pascarella, who currently holds a commanding lead in AMA Pro Supersport West. “So far I have scored three wins and one second place finish. I would like to make this my first win for Crozier Roberson Motorsports and DNA Energy Drink. I really like Infineon and think we should do well this time out.”

“It seems ages since our last race,” says Bobby Fong, who currently sits in 10^th in the point standings.  “I got to do a lot of riding at the test at Jennings and I am eager to get back on my DNA Energy Drink Ducati. Being in 10^th is not where I want to be and I have no intention of staying there.  It’s full bore ahead.”

Equally as eager to get on the track is, Michael Beck.

“I’m definitely excited,” says Beck with obvious enthusiasm. The DNA Energy Drink Ducati is an awesome machine and I can’t wait to get on the track. Everyone on the Crozier Roberson Motorsports team is all about winning and they are totally dedicated.  With their attitude and hard work, victory lane is right there.”

“Everything is ready,” sums up co-owner Robbie Roberson. “We have three top riders, an excellent crew and top of the line machines. All we need is the green flag and we will be on our way.”
