Yamaha Factory Supercross Rider Reed Is Ready To Catch Some Big Waves At Daytona Supercross

Cypress, CA – March 9, 2017 – The Daytona Supercross is this Saturday, and the surf’s up for Monster Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral/Yamaha Financial Services/Yamaha Factory Racing Team as Chad Reed hopes to continue riding the wave of momentum that he’s been on in the past couple of rounds of the AMA Supercross Championship.

Winning the 73rd heat race of his career and finishing just off the podium in fourth in this past weekend’s 450SX main event has got Chad stoked for the Daytona Supercross. “After a solid day and night in Toronto, I’m excited to be heading to one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, races of the year,” he said. “Daytona is a challenging race weekend. You have to figure out how to make your bike handle like a motocross bike in the tough, gnarly sections, while handling like a supercross bike through the whoops and clay sections. I’m up for the challenge and looking forward to getting my first win of the season.”

As was previously announced, Chad’s Monster Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral/Yamaha Financial Services/Yamaha Factory Racing teammate Cooper Webb will miss this Saturday’s Daytona Supercross as he continues to recover from the shoulder injury he sustained last month at the Minneapolis Supercross.
