Maxxis Offers Over $1 million for 2010 Racer Incentives

Maxxis is offering cash rewards or ‘contingency payments’ totalling more than a million dollars to ATV and motorcycle racers competing in eight major US race series this season. “Historically, Maxxis has offered cash for certain classes and free tyres for the rest. This year, we’ve gone to an all-cash contingency since racers are having a harder time than ever coming up with the money for things like gas, hotels and all other race expenses. And of course, the extra cash will help when they need to replace their well-used Maxxis tyres,” said Maxxis senior sales representative Harry Tripp.

Competitors can earn cash in the following series: AMA Arenacross; AMA ATV Motocross Championship; AMA Pro Motocross Championship; GNCC; Loretta Lynn Amateur National Motocross Championships; Maxxis New England ATV MX; OMA Nationals and WORCS. The payments are on offer in almost all classes and will be awarded not only to those who make it on to the podium, but also to the fourth and fifth placed riders.

To qualify for a share of the $1 million prize fund ATV racers are required to fit Maxxis tyres to all four wheels while motorcycle riders must use Maxxis on both the front and rear. All competitors must display the specified number of Maxxis decals on their machines.
