PRESS RELEASE FROM THE AMA:
AMA Racing Suspends Motocross Rider Jason Lawrence
Posted: Jul 9, 2008
PICKERINGTON, Ohio--The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today that it has suspended professional motocross rider Jason Lawrence for unacceptable behavior detrimental to the sport. According to AMA officials, Lawrence was arrested for disorderly conduct at Red Bud Track & Trail on July 4 while in Buchanan, Michigan, for round six of the AMA Toyota Motocross Series Presented by FMF. The incident follows a penalty and suspended fine issued in June for conduct detrimental to the sport at the Freestone County Raceway during round three of the series in Wortham, Texas.
"Mr. Lawrence is suspended indefinitely," said AMA Director of Motocross/Supercross/ATV Ryan Holliday. "In addition, the $25,000 fine that was issued after the June incident and suspended contingent upon the successful completion of a one-year probation will now be imposed." Holliday added that the AMA would not reconsider Lawrence's status until the conclusion of the 2008 season.
Lawrence was notified of the suspension at the race on July 5.

Monster Energy Press release Houston Texas
From Monster Energy:
Monster Energy-Backed Jason Lawrence Places 2nd @ Houston
- press release -
Lawrence (Yamaha of Troy) shows signs of maturity…no, wait, he just flat out hauled ass and finished 2nd in an exciting Houston main event
CORONA, Calif., (Feb. 20, 2008) – Monster Energy-backed Jason Lawrence (Yamaha of Troy) has taken an eight-point deficit with three Western Supercross Lites class rounds to go and turned it into a six- point lead in his favor, placing 2nd this past weekend at Houston’s Reliant Stadium – Round Seven of 2008 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship.
Lawrence, who trailed Ryan Dungey by as much as 34 points after Anaheim 2, has been all over Dungey in the past several races, winning three in a row (before Houston) while Dungey has struggled.
“I think my A-game is being smart,” said Lawrence from the podium. “Dungey can win it (the final WSX race) by a mile and I’ll still win the title.”
Lawrence, who had the fastest practice time (47.516) and was nearly a half second faster than Dungey in the main event as well (48.246 to 48.726), led the contest early then seceded the lead to the hard- charging Monster Energy-backed rookie Austin Stroupe.
“Congratulations to Austin on his first win,” said Lawrence.
Lawrence and the rest of the WSX Lites racers will have to gut out a two-plus month wait until the WSX resumes in Seattle (April 26th).
“Whatever,” said Lawrence when asked of the time off. “Doesn’t effect me a bit. I’m just going to get out and start training for the Outdoor Nationals.”
Next up for the Monster Energy Supercross Western Lites Championship is the April 26th finals in Seattle.

Jason Lawrence wins San Francisco SX...monster press release
Monster Energy-Backed Jason Lawrence (YoT) Wins The San Francisco Monster Energy AMA SX Round!
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Lawrence nuts up and toughs out the most difficult Monster Energy Supercross conditions yet this season to record his first career SX win CORONA, Calif., (Jan. 29, 2008) – Monster Energy-backed Jason Lawrence (Yamaha of Troy) topped a field of the world’s premier Lites class racers this past weekend in San Francisco, winning his first-ever main event on the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, tour. Lawrence, 20, rode aggressively from start to finish, taking the lead from Brett Metcalfe and Tommy Hahn on the first lap and then led every lap of the rain abbreviated ten-lap contest. During the race Lawrence made numerous saves that brought the 37,000-plus San Franciscans out of their seats in approval. “I have to give it up to Monster and, especially, the whole Yamaha of Troy team,” said Lawrence. “I know I give those guys some trouble sometimes, but just because I want a result like this.” Lawrence got to the main by virtue of a 3rd place finish in his heat race. With monsoon-like conditions facing him, Lawrence buckled down and rode the race of his life to date to take the win. In fact, it was raining so hard that Lawrence got cleaner as the race went on. But that was all for not as YoT team manager Chris McAvoy tackled Lawrence in the mud in celebration after Lawrence crossed the finish line. “Now we’re going back to Anaheim so I can try and revenge (meaning “avenge”) myself,” said Lawrence on the podium. “I probably feel I should have won there (Anaheim) the last two times.” Next up for Monster Energy Supercross is the Anaheim (Calif.) 3 round back at Angels Stadium (Feb. 2). Monster Energy supports the sport. Be it Monster Energy Supercross, MX, MotoGP, road racing, supermoto, off-road, FMX, skate, MTB, surf, snow, BMX – name it – the athletes are rockin’ Monster Energy more than anything these days. Check out all the types – Original Monster Energy, Monster Lo-Carb, Monster Assault, Monster Khaos, the new Monster/fruit juice hybrid called “M-80” and the ground-breaking Java Monster premium coffee & cream supercharged with our Monster Energy blend.

Monster Energy Press Release..Jason Lawrence..Anahiem 1
Monster Energy-Backed Jason Lawrence (YoT) Looking For A Major SX Impact This Weekend
- press release -
Training with Ryno to back the walk, Lawrence plans on talking the talk when the Lites class checkers fly on the Anaheim opener this Saturday
CORONA, Calif., (Jan. 4, 2008) – Monster Energy-backed Jason Lawrence (Yamaha of Troy), the defending Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM Championship, Western Region Lites class runner up, thinks it’s about time to get this stadium race season started.
Loose, casual, but ready to tear into the Western Lites division again this year, when asked of what he’s expecting at the Anaheim 1 opener, Lawrence said: “Uh, here’s mud in your eye?” (laughter).
Training voraciously with a former pro rider who’s about as tough as they come, Ryan “Ryno” Hughes, Lawrence has reportedly laid down some eyebrow-raising times recently at the local SoCal test tracks around his adopted hometown of Carlsbad.
“Yeah, I don’t even know, man. I had some kind of timer deal on my bars and it ended up flying off or something – probably got ran over,” said Lawrence, who was rockin’ the latest Volcom clothing at the track, courtesy of his new sponsor. “So people have been telling me my times are pretty good a nd that. But I’m like ‘Whatever.’ Practice lap times are just that – practice.”
Not to be lost in the Iversonesque moment, Lawrence was keen to point out that he’s seen a noticeable rise in his cardio and strength now that he’s been training with Ryno.
“It’s insane, man,” he said. “I mean like today we went out and watered the starting gate and Ryno had me pull like 40 starts in the mud. That dude’s got me more focused to start a season than I’ve ever been I think.”
A quick rewind back to last year’s final supercross race in Vegas should spark the interest of any Lawrence fans that may have been on the fence. At the East/West Dave Coombs Sr. Lites Shootout Lawrence wadded up in the first turn of the main and, against the world’s top 250Fcc class racers, raged all the way back to 4th place.
“That was a blast, man,” recalled Lawrence. “Sucked I couldn’t make the podium, but I gave it everything I had trying.”
When it was all said and done last year, Lawrence finished 2nd to rival Ryan Villopoto – himself a Monster Energy-backed racer. This year the two enter the 2008 Monster Energy Supercross season as the favorites to come out on top again.
Said Lawrence in closing: “I want it bad, man. Real bad.”
