Kawasaki announced today that after nearly 25 years Jeremy McGrath has returned to the fold as Team Green’s brand ambassador. Although McGrath won the bulk of his championships on a Honda, the King of Supercross’ first win was on a Kawasaki KX125 at the West Region Supercross race in Las Vegas in 1990.
“As the top grass roots racing program in the industry, I am excited to reunite with the team and do everything I can to promote Kawasaki and help all of the Team Green riders,” said McGrath. “During my racing career and even since retirement, I always kept my eye on Team Green for the next stars of our sport. At this stage in my life, giving back to the sport I love is a top priority, and for that I feel Kawasaki is the best fit.”
McGrath will promote Kawasaki’s complete product line, including the KX, Mule, Ninja, Jetski and Teryx brands.
“Kawasaki is excited to have Jeremy back,” said Kawasaki Director of Marketing Chris Brull. “For him to come back to his roots and begin another relationship with Kawasaki truly is a complement to our products and brand. It is very fitting that Jeremy will join Ryan Villopoto, a four-time Monster Energy Supercross Champion in specific promotions of KX bikes.”
In addition to his promotional duties, McGrath will also serve as a mentor to the Kawasaki Team Green and professional factory supported riders.
