RED DOG. For some weird reasons, that is Monster Energy Kawasaki pro racer Timmy Ferry’s nickname.
Last February 3, during the AMPD Mobile AMA Supercross Series held at the famous Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, veteran rider Ferry made it to the third season standing next to Yamaha racer Chad Reed and Susuki racer Ivan Tedesco Murrieta, kawasaki.com reports.
“It’s great to be back on the podium. I had a solid start considering I had the 15th or 16th gate pick. I’ve got those crashes behind me and evry time I haven’t crashed I’ve been on the podium so I know my speeds there. It feels so good to just go out and practice, jump the jumps and race the track. That is something we haven’t had this year. Even Phoenix was really hard, slippery tight. This felt like a real supercross track and I felt at home. Actually riding and pushing. Not being able to make a rhythm section, then getting it the next time and making up a lot of time felt good,” Ferry said.
Ferry, 32, is a native of West Palm Beach, Florida. He started his career as a professional supercross and motocross racer with Team Green. Later on, he started riding for Yamaha and is currently racing for Kawasaki.
Last year, Ferry also captured the entire victory at the eighth round in the AMA Motocross class at the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship.
Indeed, Kawasaki and Monster Energy’s partnership fired up their mutual passion for racing just the way an Acura legend heater core supplies heat to the passenger compartment air stream. Most importantly, it strengthened both brands by generating an admirable experience from inside stores to the race track.
So keep watching out for the red dog!
