KTM to Launch ATV
Contingency and “Ready to Race” Rider Support
Program
MURRIETA, Calif. — KTM is proud to announce
its first-ever ATV contingency and rider support
programs geared toward the “Ready to Race” ATV
customer. With KTM’s racing heritage and four
race-ready ATVs in the line-up, supporting ATV
racers was the next step in stamping KTM’s name
in the ATV industry.
To reward current KTM ATV racers who are
competing on 2008 or 2009 models, riders will
now have the opportunity to earn their share of
$529,000 in KTMCASH available in 12 different
ATV racing series, making it the most
comprehensive contingency package available to
the ATV racer to date. Once all event schedules
are finalized, racers will be able to log on to
www.xtrm.com/KTM to review the eligibility
requirements, rules, series information and earn
KTMCASH.
In line with KTM’s “Ready to Race” philosophy,
KTM is also offering racers the opportunity for
factory rider support packages. Racers are
encouraged to submit their rider résumé to
KTMATVracer@KTMNorthAmerica.com, fax
951-600-8866 or by mail at ATTN: ATV Racer
Support 38429 Innovation Court, Murrieta, CA
92563. Competitive racers may receive a rider
support package valued at up to $6,000, along
with a KTM E-Z-Up and select KTM PowerPart or
PowerWear items. Résumés will be evaluated on
the race series, class and past rider
performance. There are a limited number of rider
support packages available and résumés should be
submitted as early as possible.
“KTM has always supported racing from a
grassroots level,” Kurt Nicoll, Director of KTM
Racing, said. “Being involved in ATV racing on
the national and regional level is a great way
to showcase how competitive our product is.”
The ATV contingency program covers multiple
disciplines of ATV racing and includes the
following national and regional race series: AMA
/ ATVA GNC motocross, Grand National Cross
Country, OMA Nationals, WORCS, Extreme Dirt
Track Nationals, ITP QuadCross, SCORE, Best In
The Desert, New England ATV MX, TQRA – Texhoma
Quad Racing, Mid-South Hare Scramble winter
series and D37 Big Six Grand Prix.
“Providing a full package of contingency and
rider support is a great way to reward our KTM
loyalists and welcome new riders to the KTM
family,” said Chris Vogtman, Specialty Vehicle
Product Line Manager. “KTM is committed to the
sport, racing and our ATV product. After a
successful first year on the market, our KTM XC
ATVs have proven KTM is serious about the ATV
business. With the expansion of our “Ready to
Race” product line to include the all-new and
well-received motocross SX models, it was a
natural progression to support racers at a
higher level in year two.”
