Press Release –

KYMCO USA is joining the ranks of NASCAR sponsorship this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Virginia.

In Saturday’s NASCAR Busch Series Sharpie MINI 300 race, the company will be primary sponsor for the #56 KYMCO USA Chevrolet driven by last year’s Busch Series Raybestos Rookie of the Year, Danny O’Quinn.

The car’s hood will be splashed with KYMCO’s colors and logo and under that hood will be over 700 horsepower.

“Naturally we’re excited to be a part of the NASCAR family,” said Bruce Ramsey, KYMCO USA Vice President for Sales and Marketing. “And it’s great to be associated with an up-and-coming driver of Danny O’Quinn’s stature, and the Mac Hill Motorsports team, which is located just up the road from us in Mooresville, NC.”

O’Quinn won the Busch rookie award last year driving for the perennial NASCAR heavyweights at Roush Fenway Racing. This season Roush is permitting O’Quinn to drive a limited schedule for Mac Hill Motorsports, owner of the #56 Chevrolet, as well as two entries in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup series.

The Mac Hill Motorsports team is owned by Jack McNelly, who says he’s very pleased to have KYMCO USA on board for the Bristol Race.

“We’re going to give them the biggest bang for their buck we can,” McNelly said. “Building a relationship, that’s what it’s all about.”

Racing at Bristol is a homecoming of sorts for McNelly’s driver. Danny O’Quinn was born in nearby Coeburn, Virginia. He’s still a young driver who won’t turn 22 until May, but, in addition to being last year’s Busch rookie of the year, he also won big on the ARCA and USAR Hooters Pro Cup circuits.

The half-mile Bristol Motor Speedway has long been one of the most popular tracks in NASCAR. Its steep 36-degree banking makes for a lot of “swapping paint” in action that has drawn comparisons to being stuck in a washing machine.

As the #56 KYMCO USA Chevrolet’s owner, Jack McNelly, puts it, “If you come home from Bristol and you’re not marked up a bit then you didn’t run very good.”

Maxxis ATV riders continue to dominate the most grueling terrain known to man. In a follow-up to last year’s Baja 1000 victory, the team of Danny Prather, Mike Cafro, Levi Marana, and Marc Spaeth won the Baja 250 in 4:31:54.

The all-Maxxis podium also included Wayne Matlock and Chad Prull in second place and Jeff Hancock and Joshua Edwards in third. The race was held March 9-11, with a route stretching from Ensenada to Santo Tomas, Mexico.

Cafro began the race for the Temecula Motorsports team, taking the lead around the 30-mile marker. Spaeth took the wheel at 50 miles, handing off to Prather at the 75-mile marker. Marana took over at 140 miles and finished the race.

“We took the lead early on and held it the whole time, with basically no problems and zero issues. I don’t think we skipped a beat. We planned it very meticulously and stuck to our schedule,” said Cafro, who added that the team’s Razr’s were “flawless, as usual.”

Maxxis congratulates Danny Prather, Mike Cafro, Levi Marana, and Marc Spaeth on their victory and Wayne Matlock, Chad Prull, Jeff Hancock, and Joshua Edwards on their fine performances.
