Darryn Durham is the newest member of the TLD/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/KTM team. It was officially announced today that Durham will compete in the 2015 AMA Monster Energy West Coast Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships in the 250 class along side teammates and returning riders Jessy Nelson and Shane McElrath.

“I’m really excited to have Darryn aboard team TLD,” said team manager Tyler Keefe. “I think he, Jessy and Shane will work well together and learn a lot from each other. Thanks to KTM’s support, this is going to be a year of growth for TLD, and I’m glad Darryn will be a part of it. I look forward to seeing what 2015 has in store for us.”

Owner Troy Lee said, “It’s great to have Darryn on the team. He’s got a lot of talent and I’m looking forward to seeing his career grow. I know that with the support of the TLD/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/KTM team, he’s going to be hard to beat next season.”

Durham, who moves over from the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team, said, “I’m super excited to be riding for the TLD/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/KTM team. The whole vibe on the team is really good, and it’s what I was looking for. How I try to pursue my racing is having fun and doing well at the same time, and that’s kind of the team attitude as well. You know, everyone likes to have fun and everyone wants to win, so I feel like the mesh between me and the team is going to be really good this year. I’m looking forward to trying to pull off some wins!”
