News in today is that former MX Champ, Supercross winner, and Supermoto racing great, Doug Henry, will be taking over the promotion and management of the Stafford Springs, Connecticut, round of the Xbux/AMA Supermoto series slated for August 10 at Stafford Springs Raceway just outside of Hartford Connecticut!

Along with Henry.....(pictured above during Opening Ceremonies at the 2007 CT. event) it sounds like he'll be bringing Yamaha along into the promotional picture! After suffering an "on-track" injury that has sidelined his actual riding involvement since early '07, Doug apparently is still very much involved in the sport he helped bring so much exposure as a participant, and is now just as much....(or even MORE) involved as an event promoter!

Fantastic to hear that one of the coolest, and nicest persons in the two-wheeled world is going to be once again directly involved in the sport! Stay tuned to SMO for more as it unfolds!
