Kawasaki Offers Over $700,000, the Largest
Overall Contingency Program in GNCC Racing
Morgantown, W.Va. --Long-time GNCC supporter
Kawasaki Team Green has almost doubled their
racing contingency payout for the 2009 Can-Am
Grand National Cross Country Series compared to
last season. Their 2009 GNCC contingency payout
for bikes totals a whopping $595,950, with an
additional $187,200 available in ATV
contingency.
"We wanted to show our commitment to off-road
racing and the consumers that race our product
week in and week out in the GNCC series," said
Kawasaki Off-Road Supervisor Jason Smigel. "The
pay out for the premier classes is the best
available and with the new product to back it
up, it's a perfect time to be on a Kawasaki."
Kawasaki awards the XC1 class race winner an
incredible $10,000, followed by $5,000 for
second, and $2,500 for third. The XC2 winner
earns $2,500, second takes home $1,500, and $750
for third. Not only are the payouts higher, they
are deeper with the top-10 in both classes
taking home a portion of the reward.
"Kawasaki is really proud of its new product and
truly feels the new KX line-up is the best
product for cross-country racing," said Smigel.
"With such a good product, we wanted to back it
up with the best contingency program available."
The Kawasaki program offers contingency from
GNCC Youth classes all the way up to the pro
ranks on bikes, and covers a variety of ATV
classes from the utility ranks to the pros. For

About GNCC Racing

is America's premier off-road racing series.
Founded in 1973, the 13-round championship is

physically demanding sports in the world. The
grueling three-hour GNCC races lead as many as
1,800 riders through tracks ranging in length
from eight to 12 miles. With varied terrain,
including hills, woods, mud, dirt, rocks and
motocross sections, GNCC events are tests of
both survival and speed. Riders compete for more
than $3 million in prize money, which draws
