Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Yokley Hangs Tough At GNCC In Georgia

Monster Energy Kawasaki IRVINE, Calif. (March 14, 2007) “ 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. GNCC East Coast Series Round 2 Washington, Ga.
