SPONSOR'S UNLIMITED PART

Parts Unlimited, the world’s largest distributor of aftermarket motorcycle parts and accessories, will sponsor MotoGP’s 2005 Red Bull US Grand Prix.

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and Dorna Sports, the Spanish-based company that holds the commercial and TV rights to the FIM MotoGP World Championships, announced the new deal today for the July race.

“We are very excited to be involved in bringing MotoGP, the world’s premier form of motorcycle roadrace competition, back to America,” said Jeff Fox, president and CEO of Parts Unlimited.

“It will be a perfect marriage with the ‘We Support The Sport’ campaign that we conduct in all major aspects of motorcycle racing in the United States.”

The 500cc Grand Prix World Championship previously raced at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca from 1988 to 1994.

The series has since converted to the MotoGP class as the premier FIM Grand Prix World Championship series.
