New Sponsors for 09'
PRESS RELEASE - February 23, 2009
Hi race fans,
Jason Griffin would just like to thank everyone who made 2008 a successful year. We at Griffin Racing are extremely thankful to have such loyal supporters and fans. One of the major highlights from 08’ would definitely have to be finishing 2nd overall in the AHRMA National Flattrack Series. It was a real honor and great experience racing with those guys. Griffin will only compete in selected AHRMA races in 09’ as he will be chasing championship at the Pro level in the AMA Hotshoe Series and Grand National Championship Singles series.
Griffin will keep his same stable of sponsors from 2008: Griffin Racing, WKR, Westcoast Hotshoes, Lance Jones, A&A, Wiseco, Rekluse, Motonation, and Saddlemen. For 2009, Griffin has been fortunate enough to enlist the skills of Mike Boughner at Boughner Racing to help with suspension. “I feel extremely fortunate to have Mike on our team this year. You can’t be successful in this sport by yourself and Boughner came highly recommended by long time friend and racer, Mike Hacker” ,Griffin stated. He will also be adding support from Moose Racing, Sudco, MotionPro, Scott, Pure Attitude, Works Connection, RK, and Excel and Wayne McJunkin Racing. Jason stated that it’s really been a blessing to have such great sponsors for the upcoming race season.
Along with the racing comes responsibility to the fans, kids especially. “The fact that I am the only AMA Pro Flattrack Racer in the country is something that is extremely special to me. I can only attest to the fact that it is simply a God given talent that I hope I can use to inspire a lot of people and impact each person that I come in contact with in a positive way. What a great way to give back to the one who gave me this talent! Just recently, I had the privilege of taking one of my bikes to an elementary school and visiting the kids there. I basically explained to them what I do and how I do it. Those kids are just as amazed as I still am…after every lap!”
Griffin Racing has also extended its campaign to be able to host its first flattrack race in Carnesville, Ga. With the aid of
Wayne McJunkin Racing, the
Georgia Karting Komplex will host its first flattrack motorcycle race in many years on April 4
th. The track is about the same size as the one in Neeses, SC, where all the pros go to test right before Daytona. “I hope it will provide us with a way to raise money for different charities”, stated Griffin. This is one race of a series (
