On July 4, Ram Truck welcomed race fans from Setauket, Sayville, Stony Brook, Coram, Brookhaven, Riverhead, and all over Long Island to the Red Bull RedBud National, presented by Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, round seven of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship in Buchanan, Mich.
As sponsor of RCH's Nos. 1 and 20 Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John's/Ram Trucks/Suzuki Factory Racing RM-Z450 of Ken Roczen and Broc Tickle, Ram brought a truck-load of on-site fan displays to further energize the electric atmosphere that surrounds America's highest attended motocross round.
"There's just something about Ram Trucks and Pro Motocross that seem to go hand-in-hand," offered RCH co-owner Carey Hart. "The fans at RedBud are second to none and its cool for Ram Trucks to have such a great presence in their own backyard. We're excited to show off the Rebel and give race fans at RedBud a firsthand look at the best truck on the market."
Red Bull RedBud motocross fans had the opportunity to see the new 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel in person from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ram's sponsor village display area. While supplies last, fans who visit the Ram display can collect a free gift.
Rebel, Ram's newest off-roader, started production in Warren, Mich., June 17.
"With the on-track success that Ken Roczen, Broc Tickle and RCH Racing are having this season, it has been great exposure for Ram trucks," said Bob Hegbloom, President and CEO Ram Truck Brand – FCA US. "Outdoor motocross fans buy more than their fair share of pickup trucks, because trucks are an essential part of their sport."
RCH Racing team rider Ken Roczen currently sits second in 2015 outdoor championship points, hot off the overall victory in the June 13 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross UPMC Sports Medicine High Point National at High Point (Pa.) Raceway.
Roczen's RCH Racing stablemate Broc Tickle logged a respectable outing at High Point with sixth- and eighth-place moto finishes to bring his No. 20 Suzuki home sixth overall.
