READING, Pa. – EnerSys, the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications and the manufacturer of ODYSSEY batteries, will return as an official sponsor of action sports legend Brian Deegan for the fourth consecutive year.

Brian Deegan is the most decorated Freestyle Motocross rider with 15 X-Games medals. He is the only rider to have competed in every X-Games competition since its inception in 1999. Deegan is also a six-time Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Champion and a four-time medalist in Global Rally Cross at the X Games including a gold medal win in 2011.

As an official sponsor, EnerSys will support Deegan’s #38 Pro 2 truck in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS). Deegan also will use an ODYSSEY® battery in the Ford Fiesta ST he will drive in the 2016 Red Bull Global Rallycross series with Ganassi Racing.

ODYSSEY® batteries are designed with an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) construction and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology for more engine-cranking power and reserve power than conventional batteries.

ODYSSEY® batteries feature a three- to 10-year service life and two-year storage life at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). They are vibration resistant, classified as “non-spillable” by the U.S. Department of Transportation and include a limited two- to four-year full replacement warranty.

The ODYSSEY® battery logo will be prominently displayed on the race trucks, driver’s suits and the LOORRS team semi-truck and hauler.

“Having a motorsports legend like Brian Deegan repeatedly choose ODYSSEY® batteries to power his vehicles is a testament to their ability to perform in demanding racing conditions,” said Maria Orlando-Krick, marketing content and sponsorship manager at EnerSys. “We’re honored that he continues to use ODYSSEY® batteries in motocross, short course off-road and rally car races.”

Brian Deegan’s LOORRS #38 NOS Energy/Mickey Thompson/Ford race truck debuted with ODYSSEY® battery by EnerSys as its official sponsor at Wildhorse Pass Raceway In Phoenix on March 20-21, 2015 where Deegan took home a pair of podium finishes. The Global Rally Cross season started May 21 – 22 at Wildhorse Pass in Phoenix, AZ and continues on June 4 in Dallas, Texas.

“ODYSSEY® battery has been a reliable partner in building the strongest race team possible,” Deegan said. “I can’t think of racing with any battery other than an ODYSSEY® battery.”
