Team Suzuki Sets The Stage For 2008 ATV Racing

"I'm proud to have been given this opportunity," Ellis said. "I love ATVs and the sport; and I'm fortunate to be able to transition from racer to Team Manager. We have a great group of personnel and sponsors and the 2008 QuadRacers are really fast. It's a good mix for sure. I'm proud to lead these guys and am sure we will have a good season."

Also joining the team this year is Lost Creek Cycles owner Kevin Mummah. Kevin's job will be Crew Chief for the three riders and mechanics.

Veteran engine builder Ryan Cox returns as well as Yoshimura engine technician Gilbert Lujan. New mechanics include Theo Lusardi who will wrench for Wienen, Casey Greek for Gust, and Michael Jackson for Wimmer.

Jeremiah Jones returns as rider coach and team advisor. JJ feels that the team is ready.

"Our guys are ready to tear it up!" an excited Jones said. "They've been working really hard and have stepped it up a notch from last year. 2008 is shaping up to be a very competitive season but we're up for the challenge."

John Shelburne will be returning as the team truck driver to keep everything rolling along smoothly.

The team will contest the SuperQuad Pro Division of the World Powersports ATV Tour as well as many of the ATVA GNC Series races for the 2008 season.
