It’s official, Tyler Bowers will serve as a fill-in rider for the injured Dean Wilson on the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team for the remainder of the Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship, Eastern Regional schedule.

Coming off straight off the back of his third-consecutive Amsoil Arenascross Championship, Bowers is excited to transfer his recent success to Monster Energy Supercross 250SX class.

Previously Bowers finished a career best of sixth overall in the 2008 250SX Eastern Regional points standings including multiple top-five finishes amongst a stacked class.

“I was overwhelmed when I got the call,” said Bowers. “I really wanted to race Supercross once Arenacross finished, but didn’t have anything lined up. I have my KX250F dialed in from Arenacross, but now working with Pro Circuit we have taken it to the next level.”

After four years with Kawasaki and three consecutive championships, Bowers was an easy choice for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s team owner Mitch Payton.

“We’ve had a trying year in Supercross with a lot of injuries,” said Payton. “When we heard Tyler was available to help us, we were really excited because he is a proven champion and will be a strong addition to the team.”

“Tyler is the perfect fit for us and we expect him to excel,” said Kawasaki Senior Racing Manager, Reid Nordin. “We have a long standing relationship with him and he has proven himself time and time again. He is at-home on his Kawasaki will easily make the transition to Supercross.”

Bowers will make his debut with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas for Round 13 of Monster Energy Supercross.
