Yamaha names contest winner

Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., announced Kylie Ahart of Marietta, Ohio, as the Yamaha “All-American ATV Racer” at the recent Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) awards banquet.

Ahart was voted to the top position by her peers, friends and fans in an online contest hosted by Yamaha as a person and racer who embodies All-American ATV Racing values. She was awarded a complete racing package from Yamaha and GNCC during the banquet and will represent Yamaha in the 2015 GNCC season.

“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,” said 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. We look forward to watching her race the Assembled in U.S.A. YFZ450R next year.”
