LeoVine USA Supporting Superbike Shootout

LeoVince USA Specialized Products Distribution has announced that it will be supporting the new three-round Superbike Shootout, with vending at all three events. The Superbike Shootout kicked off this past weekend, April 26-27, at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

LeoVince USA will set up its SpeedMob display, and racers and fans alike can take advantage of the trackside vending. In addition, orders placed at the track will be eligible for a special event discount.

Racer necessities like the Dion Device brake lever protector, Vortex Racing sprockets and chains, and BMC air filters will be available. Fans will also be able to check out the latest Airoh Aviator 2.1 offroad helmets.

LeoVince USA’s Race and Sales Manager David Christensen will be racing, as well, riding a SpeedMob Yamaha YZF-R6 equipped with many of the brands and components available through the SpeedMob racer support program.

“More than anything, we wanted to support John Ulrich and his initiative to create a professional series of races west of the Mississippi. The Superbike Shootout looks to be a lot of fun at tracks that we consider to be more or less in our backyard,” says Tim Calhoun, President and CEO of LeoVince USA Specialized Products Distribution. “After more than a decade of supporting literally thousands of riders and racers, we decided it was time to have some of our own fun. I spoke with my National Race Manager David Christensen to gauge his interest, and he immediately was 100 percent in. With help from some of our partners and friends, we have put together a quick little R6 and will be at the events to support all of the racers with great products like the Dion Device.”

Following round one at Fontana, the Superbike Shootout continues from May 3-4 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California. The event culminates at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, the weekend of May 24-25.

The boards of the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) voted unanimously to appoint Scott Schloegel as acting president and CEO of the associations. Diana Sanchez was appointed acting chief operating officer.

Schloegel and Sanchez, whose appointments are effective immediately, will also continue to serve in their current roles as senior vice president of government relations and vice president of operations respectively. The interim leadership was selected to ensure a seamless transition as the associations’ search committee continues to conduct a comprehensive review of the position of president and CEO, and a subsequent search to replace outgoing President and CEO Erik Pritchard.
