Chino, CA - (5/03/06) -Yoshimura R&D
of America has been busy these last few weeks. In addition
to winning the last two GNC National races in a row with
Team Suzuki/Yoshimura rider Jeremiah Jones, Yoshimura
has been adding some new talent to the Pro Support team.
Jason Luburgh and Dana Creech are now sporting the Yoshimura
colors made famous by over 50 years of racing. Yoshimura
will be supplying pipes, building race engines, and providing
technical help.
Yoshimura Vice President, Brant Russell had this to
say, "We are really excited in adding both Jason
and Dana to the Yoshimura family.
Both of these riders are not only blazing fast, but
really nice guys. Also, Wayne Hinson and I like hanging
out with Jason's Dad, he's really cool."
Russell also was impressed by these riders skills,
"Both riders have tremendous talent. In Jason's
case, last week's first moto showed his potential when
he carded his first win on a quad he borrowed from his
sister! Both of these riders will be platforms for us
to showcase our engine building and exhaust capabilities.
A lot of riders out there don't know that we offer Suzuki
LT-Z400 and LT-R450 engine building services to the
public. I'm hoping that with the help of these two
guys, that will change."

rider Jason Luburgh |
Luburgh, 23 is from Zanesville, Ohio and has been in
the Pro Class since 2001. "I couldn't be more pleased
with this new relationship with Yoshimura and I'm really
excited about the bike."
Both Luburgh and Creech will be campaigning the revolutionary
new Suzuki LT-R450 QuadRacer. The machine that Jeremiah
Jones was quoted as saying last week as "The best
quad I've ever ridden."
Yoshimura Team manager Wayne Hinson works closely with
Creech, and recently has been doing a lot of testing
with the likeable rider. "Dana is a really good
test rider," says Hinson, "In addition to
being one of the best riders in the world from a racing
perspective, he also gives us great development skills
out on the west coast. He's one of the most professional
riders out there and I couldn't be happier that Yoshimura
added him to their support program. He's been part of
the Hinson Clutch support team for a long time."
Creech was also thrilled. The 24 year old rider is
from Eureka, CA and has been racing quads since he was
three. "I'm really excited to be working with Yoshimura.
They are really on the top of the game right now and
I'm happy to be a part of their racing efforts."
So far the 2006 racing season has been good for Yoshimura.
Although not leading the points in GNC, recent race
wins have been gratifying. Yoshimura ATV guru Russell
is really happy with the season so far, "Yoshimura
has been really fortunate this year with our support
program," Russell said. "Russell Shoemaker,
John Ragon, and others have been putting in some great
results in the amateur ranks, and now with the addition
of Jason and Dana, things are just getting better all
the time."
