JGR Toyota Yamaha Sticks with Pirelli

Pirelli will be using the Scorpion SX tires at the 2012 Supercross series with the JGR Toyota Yamaha team that has just signed James 'Bubba' Stewart.

Pirelli and JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team will continue their technical partnership through the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship season. With the recent addition of supercross rider James ?Bubba? Stewart, team owner Coy Gibbs believes that the JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team of Stewart and veteran Davi Millsaps, who will race exclusively on Pirelli?s Scorpion SX tires, has the potential to be a championship contender.

James Stewart, a multiple championship class winner commented, ?I was really impressed with the commitment that the guys at Pirelli showed during testing, including bringing engineers over from Italy. I am looking forward to the 2012 racing season.?

"We are excited to continue our partnership with JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team,? said Pirelli North American Off-Road Manager, Josh Whitmire. ?Working with a first class team and organization like Joe Gibbs Racing will allow us to continue the success of the Scorpion SX family of tires in the USA.?
�
Davi Millsaps echoed Whitmire?s sentiments: ?Pirelli has been working really hard to develop for us the best possible tires. 2012 is going to be a great season.?

Whitmire continued, ?Pirelli has won 56 World Championships to date, making us a leader in off-road tires worldwide.? This legacy of success has led to an expertise in engineering and optimum tires to support the JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha Team at each of the 17 rounds next season.

The 2012 AMA Supercross and FIM World Championship Series will kick off January 8th at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
