JOE GIBBS RACING 2010 SUPERCROSS AND MOTOCROSS OVERVIEW
Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil is an official sponsor of JGRMX
(JGRMX uses XP7)
Founded by Coy Gibbs, the son of NFL Hall of Fame Head Coach Joe Gibbs, winner of three Super Bowls, as well as three Sprint Cup Championships and a Nationwide Series Championship as a team owner. The Joe Gibbs Racing, Motocross (officially titled as the Muscle Milk/Toyota Team) debuted Jan. 5, 2008 in Anaheim, Calif., at the opening round of the AMA Supercross Championship.
The fledgling team had only modest goals for its 2008 rookie year, with more aggressive plans for 2009 and beyond. Even so, the innovative new entry to action sports garnered a substantial amount of media attention, and was warmly received by the fans. Josh Grant joined the effort for 2009, and exactly as they had done in NASCAR, the young team won the first race of just its second season at the AMA Supercross Championship season opener on January 3, 2009 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
As the team moves into 2010 it now benefits from some of the most sophisticated equipment available to prepare engines and suspension. Josh Grant remains with the team for his sophomore season in the premier class, and is joined by newly signed Justin Brayton. From the start, the personnel comprising the staff has been among the most respected and accomplished group of its kind in the industry. With the staff now going into their third year as a team, and Grant and Brayton as the riders, the program is positioned well with the Gibbs family philosophy that in professional sports, you win with people.
The Muscle Milk/Toyota Team is unique in that the entire team including a dedicated trainer and a specially constructed training facility with both supercross and outdoor motocross practice track, are all housed in one central location. Coy Gibbs hopes to expand the audience for supercross and motocross by bringing private resources in conjunction with outside sponsorship, just as Joe Gibbs Racing has done in NASCAR.
