Gibson begins Championship defense at Grand Rapids on January 8th

Jeff Gibson looks determined!  After a long break from the AMA Arenacross season, Gibby is ready to defend his Championship he claimed with such dominance in 2009.

“I can’t wait to get started”, claimed Gibson.  “I am completely healed after an off season accident that caused me to have surgery.  I have lost some weight and ready to take on the new 450cc bikes.”

2010 will mark the change for the common 250’s to the 450’s in the close quarter racing of the AMA Arenacross Series.  “It’s going to be tough.  These bikes have alot of power and it wont take much to end up in the stands, but thats what makes it exciting”, stated Gibson.

The opening round starts Friday night at the Van Arden Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the 19 race season.  “We have everyone back and we are going after our 4th straight title!  The odds are against us but we wouldnt have it any other way!”
