Chris Blose Signed to Fill-In at Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki

With both 250SX East Region riders dealing with injury, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki has signed veteran Chris Blose to fill-in with the team, beginning next weekend at the East Region opener in Houston.

Blose continues with Team Green after an impressive season abroad with the Bud Racing Kawasaki team in which he secured third overall in the World Supercross SX2 Class and second overall at the 2022 Supercross de Paris. Blose earned seventh overall in the 2022 250SX Western Regional Championship. 

“It’s an honor to be gearing up to race with the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team,” said Blose. “I’ve seen the success of the team firsthand throughout my career and I’m really looking forward to going racing with their support. While Houston SX is coming up fast, I’ve had a lot of comfort on the KX™250 recently so the bike is familiar and we should be competitive right out of the gate.”

Both Jo Shimoda (shoulder) and Seth Hammaker (wrist) both sustained injuries in testing crashes last week and will not compete in the opener.
