TEAM
SUZUKI/YOSHIMURA ATV RACING SIGNS DUNLOP
AS TIRE SPONSOR FOR 2006 ATV RACING SEASON
BREA, Calif. (Feb. 3, 2006) – The Team
Suzuki/Yoshimura ATV Race Team is proud to
announce Dunlop as its newest racing partner for
the 2006 ATV race season. Team members Doug Gust
and Jeremiah Jones will run Dunlop’s latest
high-performance ATV tire on their Suzuki
QuadRacer LT-R450 race machines in 2006.
“Suzuki and Dunlop Tire have worked very well
together through the development of the new
QuadRacer 450 racing ATV,” said Rod Lopusnak,
ATV operations manager for American Suzuki Motor
Corp., “and expanding this partnership into the
Team Suzuki/Yoshimura ATV racing program makes
perfect sense. We’re sure both Suzuki and Dunlop
will benefit from the relationship.”
The all-new 2006 Suzuki QuadRacer LT-R450 is
equipped with Dunlop’s latest high-performance
tires: the Dunlop KT381 and KT385 Radial sport
tires. Suzuki introduced the new QuadRacer
LT-R450 as well as the 2006 Team
Suzuki/Yoshimura ATV race team to ATV
journalists this week in California. An integral
part of Suzuki’s newest high-performance
machine, Dunlop’s new radial ATV tires are
featured as stock equipment on the LT-R450, and
will be used by pro racers Doug Gust and
Jeremiah Jones.
“Motorsports racing is a big part of Dunlop’s
history, and expanding that performance
application into the ATV market is very exciting
for us,” said Dennis Teed, director of the ATV
business unit for Dunlop Tire North America.
“With Suzuki’s passion and dedication to ATV
racing, we know we’ve picked the right racing
partner.”
