Press Release | August 10, 2021
Shane McElrath has found a new home with the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KTM/WPS team. McElrath will represent the KTM team in the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series and Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Nationals in the 450cc class.
Shane McElrath has found a new home at the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KTM/WPS team. He’ll compete in the 450cc class in both Supercross and motocross.
“We are excited to bring Shane onto the team for the 2022 racing season, and for so many reasons,” said team co-owner Forrest Butler. “We as a team have a lot of changes in store for 2022, and Shane fits the mold for a lot of them. Professional Supercross and MX racing is changing, the top 10 in the 450 class has become like the top 10 in the NASCAR Cup Class. The sport is exploding, there are so many good guys, we are all having to adjust, and Shane is a rider that not only believes in himself, he believes in our team.
“Overall, the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KTM/WPS team is excited for this new addition to our team. We have come a long way over the past 18 years with the team, and we definitely have some unfinished business and goals we still want to reach. That said, we feel strongly that Shane McElrath is a racer that is ready to help us go get it!
“I’m super excited for the opportunity to join the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KTM/WPS team,” said McElrath. “I feel like I’m getting the chance to work alongside some great people, people that are focused on the same goals as myself. My wife and I are very thankful for this team believing in me, and we are looking to start working and building for the 2022 season now. See you all at Anaheim 1!”
