BRANDON ROBINSON AND JAKE @SHOEMAKER READY TO MAKE THEIR @TRIUMPH DEBUTS AT #SPRINGFIELD MILE

$5,000 in Bonuses Available to Triumph Teams at Each AMA Pro Flat Track Event


ATLANTA (May 21, 2015) – The Bonneville Performance and Latus Motors Racing teams have readied their Triumph motorcycles for the AMA Pro Flat Track round at the Springfield Mile, this Sunday, May 24th. The legendary mile oval at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill., will be the site of Brandon Robinson and Jake Shoemaker’s first rides on Triumphs in GNC1 Pro Twins racing competition.

Triumph Motorcycles America is also debuting a bonus fund of up to $5,000 per race to participating Triumph teams. Bonuses will be awarded based upon their results in qualifying, heat races, the Dash for Cash, and GNC1 Main Event. This is an extension of Castrol’s VETMotorsports Performance Match Fund announced in April where these same Triumph teams’ on-track performance earns donations to the nonprofit, veteran outreach organization.

Brandon Robinson, #44 of the Latus Motors Racing / Castrol / Triumph team, sits second in the GNC1 standings after the first two rounds at Daytona. Springfield is a track that fits him well, having won both races in 2013.

"I'm really eager to race at Springfield this weekend,” said Robinson. “It's a place I've had a lot of success at in the past, and I'm looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my career aboard the Latus Motors Castrol Triumph!"

Bonneville Performance will welcome injured warfighter and United States Army veteran Sgt. Edward S., of Columbus, Ohio, as a working member of its team. In addition to the racing action, VETMotorsports and Bonneville Performance will have a booth near the main grandstands on Sunday. Fans can learn more about the team and VETMotorsports’ initiatives. Veterans attending the races at Springfield will also have the opportunity for a free ride on their motorcycles around the track.

Jake Shoemaker, competing on the #55 Bonneville Performance / Castrol / Triumph, has put in a lot of work this preseason and feels confident he can better his 9th place finish at Springfield from 2014.

“We’ve made some changes to the bike over the past couple months, and I’m excited to show the fans what the Triumph is capable of,” said Jake Shoemaker. “The VETMotorsports partnership means a lot to the Bonneville Performance team, and its great to be able to support them.”
