(NEWS RELEASE)

Oxford, PA. – October 15, 2013 – Brandon Robinson closed out the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Grand National Championship season with a tough 9th-place finish at the Pomona Half-Mile season finale, to cap off his excellent first season with the TJ Burnett Farms Kawasaki team. “We struggled with set-up at Pomona and fought the track but just couldn’t get it any better for the season finale,” stated Brandon after the rough weekend, “but to end up in the 3rd-place spot in the overall championship standings was great for our first year together. We’re also looking forward to the 2014 season as we have things already set in stone to all stay together, so hopefully we can improve on that, and we’re real proud of our three wins and six top-3s for the year.”

The TJ Burnett Farms team and Brandon were as disappointed as the fans were about the cancellation of the main events at the Santa Rosa Mile on September 29. “We were solid at Santa Rosa, but Mother Nature wasn’t working with us that afternoon, and it was a shame for the fans as well as for us racers. But the Circle Bell Motorsports promoters and the officials with AMA Pro Flat Track made the right call in lieu of the safety factor involved with the heavy mist that had rolled in,” commented Robinson, “there was just no way to continue safely.”

The team did end the season on several big and bold notes. AMA Pro Flat Track awarded the 2013 Team Excellence Award to the TJ Burnett Farms team after the Pomona finale for their professional representation of the sport in the paddock and their great results on the track in just their first full season together, and Brandon also captured the championships (by a landslide) in both the Expert Twins and Expert Singles classes in the Steve Nace Racing All-Star AMA National Flat Track Series presented by GoldenTyre. “It was an honor to get the Team Excellence Award for TJ and the team, and winning the #1 plates in the Steve Nace All-Star Series was huge, as Jared Mees has pretty much had those covered for the last couple of seasons,” Robinson noted.

The team will be working hard during the off-season to come back and improve on their standings for the 2014 AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Championship season. “We’re headed to Oglethorpe Speedway outside of Savannah, GA. on November 9 for an outlaw race,” commented the double All-Star Champion. “We’re going down to have some fun and do some testing since that is my favorite track.”

The team would again like to thank all of it’s fans for taking the time to visit with us this season during the fan walks and after each of the races, and hope you are all as ready as we are for the new season to begin in several months at Daytona in mid-March, and are looking forward to another year together to show all of you fans what we can do again and in stepping it up for the new year ahead.
