Position One Motorsports closes its doors

After a successful 2010 racing season, Position One Motorsports will officially close its doors on Friday December 17th. With sell off of both the Avanti and Maddox product lines, Position One Motorsports owner Luis Martinez will shift his focus to his closed wheel oval track car program on a more full-time effort in 2011.

“This was not an easy decision for me to make," expressed Martinez. “I wanted to make sure that the brands that we were carrying were fully supported by another company that had the same standards that we do. We have finally put everything in place and we are ready to move forward."

While the Maddox product line will be carried by Martinez’s son, Luis Martinez Jr. and front running TaG Senior driver Nick Johnston under the Maddox USA banner, the Avanti product will be imported and distributed by Adams Motorsports Park.

Martinez continued, “I will not be leaving the sport. I will simply step back and help the new and upcoming business owners with future decision making and advice. I am very excited about the younger generation in our sport as they have the ambition to grow and carry the company to a new level."

With a new website in the works, Maddox Kart USA owners Luis Martinez and Nick Johnston are making themselves available via their mobile devices while they plan for the 2011 season. Luis Martinez can be reached at 562.506.5814 while Nick Johnston can be contacted at 818.635.1987. Please check www.MaddoxKartUSA.com often for launch date and up to date information on the company.
