I'm excited to be racing it and making my debut in the 450 class on a Husky. We have a good program in place, and we know we have the capability to win championships, so I think it's going to be good!&rdquo;</div><div>Husqvarna was an integral part of American motocross in the 1960s. The first and last time the manufacturer fielded a Supercross effort was in 2001.</div><div>&ldquo;With racing as one of the core values of Husqvarna, of course we need to be in the top echelon of our sport,&rdquo; commented President Jon-Erik Burleson. &ldquo;This has been one of our major goals from the start, and an important step in elevating Husqvarna back to the leadership technology it once stood for.&rdquo;</div><div>The first race for the new Husqvarna squad will be the Monster Cup in Las Vegas, which will take place in October of 2014.</div><div><em>Media images courtesy of Husqvarna.</em></div><div><br></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/keeptherubbersidedown/uukV/~4/ZYmYF5DhUlM" height="1" width="1">
