Kevin Johnson and Team Faith Return for 2009 AMA Arenacross Season |

AURORA,
One of the most consistent
riders in the series, Johnson grabbed two race wins last season. After
capturing a gold medal at this summer’s X Games, Johnson tasted heightened
success and readjusted his focus for the upcoming season.
“Even though our deal for this
season came together pretty late, I’m definitely ready for 2009,” said Johnson.
“In the past I participated in the FMX demos at some of the (arenacross) races.
This year I’m not doing that and I’m putting all my focus on the championship.
With a smaller schedule, it is going to take more dedication to come out on
top.”
Team Faith returns for 2009
essentially unchanged from the previous season. With continued support from FLY
Racing, Michelin, and Johnson’s father’s Bobby J’s Yamaha dealership, the team
will undoubtedly be the front of the pack at each of the 11 races.
“We are happy to have everyone
back on board,” stated Team Manager Brian O’Rourke. “With the tough economy, we
surely could not do this without our sponsors. Kevin is a very talented rider

Johnson Takes Gold at the Debut of Event
LOS ANGELES- The Moto X Speed & Style competition kicked off its debut in
front of a packed crowd at The Home Depot Center. In a major twist of events it
was the underdog Kevin Johnson who came out on the top of the field to beat out
Ronnie Renner, earning the first ever gold in the discipline.
“"I’'m blown away right now - I don’t even know what to say,"” said a
speechless Johnson as he accepted the gold.
Kevin has been a prominent Arenacross racer in the moto world, and claimed
himself a long shot in the Speed & Style event. While favored to dominate
the speed portion of the competition, Johnson had spent the past couple months
to also perfect his tricks for the style portion.
Renner, who went head-to-head with Johnson in the last bracket of the Speed
& Style competition, gave Johnson a run for his money with back-to-back
back flips but was unable to out perform Johnson’s extreme whip.
“He’s an unbelievable racer and it’s cool to see him step up the freestyle to
balance it out in the Speed & Style,” Renner said of Johnson.
