Kawasaki
Offers $187,200 Available in GNCC ATV Racing Contingency
Morgantown, WV (2/12/2009)
- 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 more information,

Series begins with The Parts Unlimited River Ranch
