Chino, CA (4/13/2010) - Yoshimura R&D
of America is widening its support of ATV racing
at the national level by once again signing
on to help the Media Allstars team reach their
goals of winning motos and having the best-suited
quads to do so. The Media Allstars team is a
powerhouse of talented amateur and pro riders
competing in the AMA ATV MX series as well as
some of the GNCC circuit, and Yoshimura has
been involved with their ATV racing efforts
since 2007.
The team’s roster consists of Pat Brown
and Cody Grant in the ATV MX Pro Class, Chase
Cunningham, Mario Diangelo, and Mark Batson
in the MX Am/Vet ranks, and a GNCC side-by-side
effort headed up by Josh Starrett, Jorge Cuartas,
and Jake Brattain.
In his first year in the pro class, Cody Grant
will pilot a Yoshimura-prepped Suzuki QuadRacer
R450. Grant has been on the team for four years,
and the upcoming AMA ATV MX race at Ballance
Moto X in Bowling Green, Kentucky, will be his
first pro appearance in his home state. Also
in on the newly minted pro effort by the Media
Allstars is Pat Brown aboard his Honda TRX450R.
Brown has been racing in the pro class for five
years and has consistently finished in the top
10. Yoshimura’s motor work for both the
QuadRacer R450 and the TRX450R will help Grant
and Brown get off the line quickly and they’ll
have power throughout their motos.
“We’ve got the best support in
the sport, and Yoshimura’s motors are
undeniably at the top of the food chain,”
Media Allstars Team Manager Jorge Cuartas said.
“When you combine that backing, with two
pro riders with something to prove, there’s
potential for greatness.”
“This is our fourth year supporting the
Media Allstars, and they have some of the best
amateur race support there is,” Yoshimura
Marketing Manager Kory Ellis said. “With
the team also including Brown and Grant in the
pro class, it’s even more exciting for
Yoshimura to be a part of their race effort.
The Yoshimura motor work will help them be even
faster than they already are.”
The next AMA ATV MX race is scheduled to take
place at Ballance Moto X in Bowling Green, Kentucky,
on April 17-18.
