Minneapolis, MN (10/30/2013) -William Yokley and his Coastal / Polaris /
CST / Yoshimura /Yokley Racing Holz-built RZR 900 took the GNCC "XC1
Modified" UTV Championship for fifth consecutive year with Yokley's
teammate, Scott Kiger finishing the season in fourth. RZRs proved to be a
dominant force in the class taking the top five spots for the season,
including Yokley's nephew, John Yokley, taking second in his Big Country
Powersports/Yokley Racing RZR 900.
Yokley finished out the season at the Ironman with a fifth in the "XC1
Modified" class and fifth overall, after breaking a rear axle, but had
enough series points to seal the championship. Kiger also had mechanical
issues and had to be conservative with speed and finished in fourteenth.
"We would like to congratulate Yokley on his fifth championship," said
Donna Beadle, race team manager for Polaris. "The Yokley/Coastal Racing
team has incredible dedication to the sport of side-by-side racing and the
championship was, once again, well deserved."
