"We are excited to have the KJSC back as a part of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season," Todd Jendro, vice president of two wheel operations, Feld Motor Sports. “The program provides an exciting and entertaining element for our supercross audience, but more importantly, the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge serves as a shining example of the positive role that motorcycling plays as a family activity.
