For just the second time, Jacksonville’s Municipal Stadium was host to the AMA Supercross Series. The Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team arrived in Florida on Thursday to conduct interviews with local television and newspaper reporters. Each week before every event, two teams participate in these “press days” to help build awareness of the event within the local market. The resulting media creates valuable exposure for team sponsors. Jacksonville’s City Council President, Richard Clark attended the press day activities. He even suited up in a Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team uniform and conducted interviews, as well as rode a motorcycle for the television cameras. Nearly 40,000 fans were on hand to watch the action when the racing started. Justin Brayton and

The brand new Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas was host to round 11 of the AMA Supercross Series. Joe Gibbs was on hand with several guests from Interstate Batteries. Interstate Batteries, whose headquarters is in Dallas, is Joe Gibbs Racing’s founding sponsor. The 20-year partnership is one of the longest running marketing relationships in motorsports.
