Team Green will once again be in full force when Daytona International Speedway presents the Seventh Annual Ricky Carmichael Daytona Supercross (RCSX) March 6–7.

Kawasaki Team Green will bring a troop that features some of the most talented amateurs in the sport of motocross to Daytona International Speedway, and they can be expected to be contenders for the win in every class they contest. The team of Austin Forkner, Jordan Bailey, Lance Kobusch, Stilez Robertson, Jett Reynolds, Ryder DiFrancesco, Nick Romano and Hannah Hodges will all be looking to take home championships in their respective classes.

Forkner is signed up for the A Class in preparation for his pro debut later this summer.

“Daytona should be good,” Forkner said. “I’ve been putting in work at the Farm for the past couple months and I’ve been out at the Kawasaki test track putting in laps. We have a great setup for the bike so I’m feeling good. I have been trying to ride on tracks with similar dirt to Daytona to get myself fully prepped for the race, I’m really looking forward to it.”

Robertson said that he is confident in his bike, and he has been training hard for the RCSX.

“The bike has been amazing,” Robertson said. “Physically, I’ve never felt better on and off the bike, as we’ve been putting in the laps at home and hours in the gym. I feel confident that we’re going to bring home some titles.”

Kobusch, too, said that he is looking forward to Daytona.

“I’ve had a few small injuries since my win at the Monster Energy Cup, but I’m back to 100% and ready to get back up on the podium,” he said. “Daytona has always been one of my favorite tracks to race and have always had luck there.”

After a successful 2015 season, Reynolds reported that his off-season has been great, and he is ready to go at Daytona.

“I’m really looking forward to racing in 2016,” Reynolds said. “Daytona is unlike any other track we race on with big ruts and jumps, which I love. I can’t wait for the gate drop of Moto 1.”
