The Boost Mobile/ampm/Monster/Troy-JLaw Racing team represents with
the new Spy Klutch goggles starting this weekend @
Glen Helen
CARLSBAD, Calif., (May 22, 2009) – Spy Optic’s Jason “JLaw”
Lawrence and his Boost
Mobile/ampm/Monster Energy/Troy-JLaw
Racing teammate Nick Wey are set to represent in the premier 450 class at the
Lucas Oil AMA MX Nationals beginning this weekend with the series opener at
Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif.
Lawrence, who won the
first moto at Glen Helen last year (Lites class) and
ended up on the podium with a 1-5 finish, said he’s pumped to have Spy
Optic on board with the Boost Mobile/ampm/Monster
Energy/Troy-JLaw Racing team this year. “Spys are sick,” said Lawrence. “If they
weren’t paying me to wear ‘em I’d
pay to wear ‘em.”
Running the Spy Optic
Klutch goggles, Lawrence enjoyed some decided
highlight in the 450 class this year, including leading the historic Daytona
(Fla.) Supercross, before finishing on the podium in 2nd place – his best-ever premier SX class finish.
Moving up to the 450 class outdoors seems like a natural fit for Lawrence.
“I’ve
spent a lot of time turning laps outdoors and getting my bike dialed,”
said Lawrence. “I’m completely looking forward to getting things
going this weekend at Glen Helen.”
Joining Lawrence
behind the tint of the well-known Spy Optic lenses will be Wey, who last year
scored a top ten finish (9th) at the Glen Helen opener, going 10-10.
“Goggles are highly important at the Nationals and Spy’s got us
covered – I appreciate that,” said Wey. “Everything’s
solid with Spy. Frames. Lenses.
Foam. Straps. Tear-offs. Roll-offs. Never had a
problem with them and I put ‘em through heck
pretty much every day.”
Also running Spy
Optic product, only up north of the border in the Monster Energy Canadian MX Nationals, will be Monster Energy/Cernic’s/Kawasaki’s
Paul Carpenter and Bobby Kiniry. Carpenter won the Canadian premier class MX1
championship back in ’97 and Kiniry will begin
the season as one of the favorites in the title chase as well.
Next up for the Spy
Optic motocross racers is the Lucas Oil AMA Outdoor MX Nationals opener at Glen
Helen (San Bernardino, Calif.), May 23.
