Bell & Pearson Deliver THR's Monster Energy Kawasaki To Overall Victory At BITD Parker 250

THR Motorsports riders Robby Bell and David Pearson paid tribute to the race that bares the team name by delivering the No. N1 Monster Energy-backed, factory-fueled Kawasaki KX450F to an overall victory and open pro class win for the Best In The Desert (BITD) THR Motorsports Parker 250 desert off-road race in Parker, Arizona. Backing the victory up for a third atop the podium, team racers Tyler Renshaw and Ricky Brabec reeled in a third overall aboard the No. N27 THR Motorsports Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450F.

The Precision Concepts-prepped THR Motorsports N1 machine, starting third off the line with Pearson behind the handlebars, battled through the dust, rocks and notorious sand washes of the brutal Arizona landscape, landing atop the podium of the 250-mile race in four hours, 18 minutes and 38 seconds, nearly a full minute of the next best competition, piloted by the David Kamo and Colton Udall entry. The N27 green machine of Renshaw and Brabec logged their third place finish after completed their three laps in four hours and 33 minutes.

Race updates for the team were delivered throughout the day upon the THR Motorsports Facebook Page. THR Motorsports team sponsors include Kawasaki, Monster Energy Drink, Hoosier Precision Machining, Precision Concepts, CMS, ZLT, Dunlop Tires, O'Neal Motocross Gear, GPR Steering Stabilizers, KleN Laundry and Dirt Tricks.
