After losing Wil Hahn to another injury, Monster Energy Kawasaki has announced that it has signed Josh Grant to ride through the remaining 2015 Pro Motocross season. After suffering an injury in a practice crash during the week, Hahn announced he would be absent from the upcoming Millville Motocross National. Kawasaki’s decision to pick up Grant was a logical one, following the shutdown of Chad Reed’s Kawasaki-backed Two Two Motorsports team.
“This is a great opportunity for me and I wan tot thank everyone at Monster Energy Kawasaki for the chance to race again this year,” Grant said in a release from Kawasaki. “I like the KX450F and I’m looking forward to getting the full support of the factory team behind me.”
Grant is currently training with his new team with the goal of racing round eight of the AMA Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship in Millville this coming weekend.
“We feel that Josh is going to fit in very well with our team,” said Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager, Dan Fahie. “Josh is very familiar with the KX450F, which fits well with the short time frame we have to get him up to speed for Millville on Saturday.”
