(NEWS RELEASE)

Oxford, PA. – September 4, 2013 – Brandon Robinson ordered up a two-for-two special over the Labor Day weekend at the Springfield Mile I & II rounds held at the Illinois State Fairgrounds and took the #44 TJ Burnett Farms Kawasaki to the wins in both National mains over the course of the weekend’s events. From the start of each day, Brob44 held the advantage over the rest of the field in qualifying in the top spot, winning both heats to set fast time and pole for each day, taking the Dash for Cash events and then winning each of the National mains to take maximum points. “Man, this is almost surreal,” Robinson said after Sunday’s win. “One of my biggest goals in racing was to win the Springfield Mile and now to get two wins here in a single weekend is almost too much,” after winning rounds 10 & 11 of the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Grand National Championship.

Robinson also won his first-ever AMA Grand National Championship Twins Series events to make his win total for the season three wins, seven top-5s and six top-3s on the year. After his first win at Springfield on Saturday, Robinson stated, “I never looked back until I took the checkered flag and I couldn’t believe I broke the draft. It’s unbelievable to get a win here at Springfield. It’s something I’ve dreamed about since I started racing. I’ll probably cry when it sinks in later tonight.”

The weekend was even more special for the rider of the #44 TJ Burnett Farms Kawasaki as he was able to score the wins in front of his Mom & Dad, who had previously missed his win at the Daytona Short Track II in March, and for the TJ Burnett Farms Kawasaki team for taking the double wins at their home track. The team’s part-time pilot, JD Beach, also scored a pair of 3rd-place finishes over the weekend to sandwich Bryan Smith on the #42 Crosley Radio/Howerton Motorsports Kawasaki, to earn the Kawasaki marque it’s first podium sweeps ever in an AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Twins Series Championship event.

Two races remain in the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Grand National Championship season, with round 12 of the season scheduled for September 29 at the Santa Rosa Mile, and closing out the season at the Pomona Half-Mile season-ender on October 12. As a result of his two wins, Robinson moved up to third in the overall championship, trailing points leader Brad Baker by 13 points and second-place Bryan Smith by 3 points (184-174-171 points.)

The team now has just over three weeks to prepare for the westward swing for the final two rounds of the season, and is looking forward to seeing all the fans stop by during the fan walks at both west coast events to share in the fun that we have had this season in our first full year together as a championship contending team.
