“Yamaha congratulates Dustin, Jason and
all of the QuadCross competitors for a great
season,” said Donnie Luce, Yamaha ATV/Off-Road
racing coordinator, who attended the Finale
and helped hand out awards to the series winners
at the end of the day. “Dustin has been
with the Yamaha family for years, and we appreciate
everything he has done to represent our team
as a true champion. He provided valuable testing
and input throughout the development of the
YFZ450R to make it the best high-performance
motocross quad, and he has put it at the top
of the podium each year since it was introduced.”
Yamaha came out to Glen Helen for the Finale
to support its factory racers and to show its
appreciation for everyone involved in the series.
All racers and fans received a special “thanks”
through give-away items and a free BBQ lunch.
Yamaha hosted the awards presentation at the
end of the day and gave each class champion
a special bonus embroidered Yamaha jacket. Surrounded
by new 2011 Yamaha ATVs under the big blue tent,
the crowds gathered for the season Finale celebration
and enjoyed seeing each class winner mount the
podium for their #1, 2 or 3 plates and prizes
from QuadCross sponsors.
“QuadCross is the premier motocross series
out West, and Yamaha is proud to continue our
support of this series and ATV racing in general,”
Luce said. “Congratulations to everyone
for a great season, and we look forward to introducing
some exciting new changes for 2011.”
