TwoTwo Motorsports gains title sponsor

It was announced via the TwoTwo Motorsports Facebook page on Friday night that big news for the team was to be released within hours. We all anxiously awaited the official news on which brand of bike (Kawasaki, anyone?) Reedy would race aboard next year, right? But that didn’t happen, and here we are, still waiting. Here’s what was announced:

Discount Tire has announced that it will continue its partnership with the AMA supercross and motocross team, TwoTwo Motorsports, and Aussie rider, Chad Reed. 

Under a new multi-year agreement, Discount Tire, the official tire and wheel retailer of TwoTwo Motorsports, has amplified its partnership to include title sponsorship of the team, which will now be called Discount Tire Racing. 

“Discount Tire is proud to partner with TwoTwo Motorsports as the team’s title sponsor, “said Discount Tire. “Chad has been a great ambassador for Discount Tire and we look forward to working with him and Discount Tire Racing through many winning seasons.” 

Discount Tire and Chad Reed have enjoyed a successful relationship during the past two years, which has grown from an individual sponsorship in 2012 to a title sponsorship of the team, now named Discount Tire Racing, through the 2016 SX and MX season. 

“I have been sponsored by companies since I was nine years old, but I have never enjoyed a relationship with a sponsor like Discount Tire,” said Chad Reed. “The respect the company shows for its employees, customers and also for the teams it sponsors is second to none, and I am proud to be considered a member of the Discount Tire family.”

The opening round of the 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is set to take place at Anaheim 1, January 4. Reedy’s next big slice of news can’t be too far away, surely.
