After great success in 2008, the Monster Energy Kawasaki off-road team is back with the same talent that brought Kawasaki prestigious championships in the AMA National Hare and Hound and AMA EnduroCross series’, along with several major accomplishments throughout the year.

Returning for his third year aboard the factory Kawasaki, Ricky Dietrich comes off the best season of his career. He earned his first AMA EnduroCross championship, returned from the International Six-Day Enduro (ISDE) as the top American and second overall individual, and finished runner-up in the competitive WORCS series. Also winning a championship was Destry Abbott, who claimed a record-tying fifth AMA National Hare and Hound title and partnered with Dietrich and the USA Trophy Team to earn a bronze medal finish at the ISDE. Not to be counted out is second-year off-road racer Damon Huffman, who narrowly missed the AMA EnduroCross title and finished a solid fourth in the WORCS series.

The competition is tough in off-road series across the country, but Dietrich, Abbott, and Huffman have proven that they know what it takes to be a championship team and are ready to show that again in 2009.
