Strengthens Commitment to GNCC Series
Morgantown, W.Va. (February 3, 2010 ) - Racer
Productions, producers of the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country Series, is happy to
announce that
MotorcycleUSA.com, title sponsor of the
Snowshoe GNCC, has strengthened their commitment
to the tour by adding Title Sponsorship of two
additional events, the Yadkin Valley Stomp, in
Yadkinville, N.C., and The Titan in Lafayette,
T.N., as well as backing the holeshot awards in
all four GNCC pro classes, both XC1 and XC2 on
bikes and ATVs.
"The 2009 season marked the first year as a
sponsor of the GNNC series," said Ken Hutchison,
vice president of MotorcycleUSA.com. "We
discovered the market to be a perfect fit for
our brand. The racers, their families and the
spectators bring a lot of energy to these events
and provided us with the spark necessary to come
back even stronger for 2010."
"We jumped in with both feet last year as the
Title Sponsor of the Snowshoe event," continued
Hutchison. "The location was fantastic as was
the racing, not to mention the exposure
MotorcycleUSA received. If you are a fan of
off-road racing, I cannot think of a better race
to participate in or to spectate. The Snowshoe
Resort and the people were very accommodating.
The rooms, the restaurants and the nightlife all
add up to make this a spectacular experience."
MotorcycleUSA.com will also be the Holeshot
Award sponsor for both the XC1 and XC2
motorcycle and ATV classes. Last year,
MotorcycleUSA.com paid $250 to each XC1
motorcycle and ATV Holeshot winner. That total
remains for 2010, with an additional $100 to
each XC2 motorcycle and ATV holeshot winner at
all 13 rounds.
"Sponsoring the Holeshot Award for both the
XC1 Bike and ATV classes worked well for us last
year," explained Tim Clark, Director of
marketing for MotorcycleUSA. "So well, in fact,
we will be sponsoring both the XC1 and XC2
classes for 2010."
"The Snowshoe GNCC was also very successful
for us," continued Clark. "It opened enough
doors that we decided to up our game to include
the Title Sponsorship of both the Yadkin Valley
and The Titan events. Helping the riders is one
of our main goals and sponsoring the Holeshot
Awards and posting large purses like we did with
the Snowshoe last year serves a great way to
benefit the racers."
The 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series kicks off on February 27- March 2 as part
of Daytona Bike Week at the Westgate River Ranch
Resort in River Ranch, Florida, with the Parts
Unlimited River Ranch GNCC. ATVs race on Sunday,
February 28, and bikes race on Tuesday, March 2.
