Press Release –
Monster Energy Kawasaki ATV rider William Yokley continued his battle for the GNCC XC1 class championship last weekend with another consistent top-10 finish in Washington, Ga.
With a start that left him near the back, Yokley put his head down and made a charge. He raced hard into the woods section, but eventually collided with another rider while trying to pass on the narrow track.
Yokley was running in 19th place after the 12 mile first lap and showed no sign of giving up. His determination and drive on his all-new Kawasaki KFX®450R would eventually earn him an eighth-place finish.
“I know from riding this new KFX®450R and working with the new team, I will be running up front for the win in the near future,” said Yokley. “I can’t wait.”
The Monster Energy Kawasaki ATV team will be in Morganton, N.C., on March 24, for round three of the GNCC East Coast Series.
