UFO Plast to serve as title sponsor of Pro Motocross High Point National on June 14
Additionally, UFO Plast will now serve as the title partner for the High Point National at High Point Raceway. UFO Plast was founded in 1977 in Tuscany, Italy, the same year the first official Pro Motocross event was held at the iconic racetrack in Mt. Morris, Penn.
"We are excited to have UFO Plast on board for the entire SMX World Championship and having them as the title sponsor of the High Point National as well makes it even better," said Davey Coombs, President of MX Sports Pro Racing. "High Point Raceway in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania, is the home track for MX Sports as well as Racer X Illustrated. My parents began holding the High Point National in 1977 and over the years it has become one of the pillars of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship Series. The High Point track is very popular with both the competitors and the fans who attend the big race every Father's Day weekend in June. We now look forward to having UFO Plast be a part of the event moving forward as well as with the entire SMX World Championship Series."
