Shoei is pleased to introduce road racing icon Ben Bostrom as our newest team rider.

Ben and his Shoei teammate Josh Herrin have been decimating the AMA Supersport field so far this year aboard their Graves Motorsport Yamahas. Ben took home the victory at the season opener at Daytona International Speedway, while Josh nipped him in the last turn to take the win at Barber Motorsports Park.

"Shoei has been a long time sponsor of my brother Eric," said Ben. "I saw how happy my brother has been with Shoei's product and service, so it seemed like the best choice for me. I've seen the aerodynamic advantages of the X-Eleven versus the competition in wind tunnel testing, and with how tight the Supersport racing has been this year, I need every advantage I can get. Wearing a Shoei gives me one less thing to worry about on a race weekend. Besides, Shoei was my very first sponsor as a kid, so it feels good to come home!"

Watch Ben and his X-Eleven helmet in action this weekend in the Pro Honda Oils Supersport race presented by Shoei Helmets at California Speedway in Fontana, CA. To learn more about the entire Shoei lineup, visit us on the web at www.shoei-helmets.com or visit an authorized Shoei retailer near you.
