“The All-American ATV Racer contest was created to support the great racers and racing community within GNCC and to draw attention to Yamaha’s U.S.-based ATV manufacturing,” says Steve Nessl, marketing manager for Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group. “We couldn’t be more excited to have Kylie, who is one of the most well-respected, up-and-coming GNCC racers, win and become part of the Yamaha team.
