New Zealand legend, Ben Townley will make a comeback to racing, when he races the inaugural Monster Energy S-X Open in Auckland at the Mt Smart Stadium, on November 24. 

American rider Justin Brayton will also line-up in this special event. With an expected crowd of 25,000 people, this might just be the kick-start New Zealand needs to start producing more riders like Townley, Josh Coppins and the King brothers.
