FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEFENDING
WERA CHAMPIONS TO RACE GRAVES MOTORSPORTS-PREPPED BIKES AND VIE FOR $40,000 IN WIN
BONUSES VAN NUYS, Calif. (January
25, 2010) -- Graves Motorsports is proud to announce that
defending WERA Mediumweight Superbike Endurance champion, Team Zyvax, has
signed up to ride Graves-prepared Yamaha R6s and compete for the company's recently
unveiled $5000 WERA win bonus program.
Graves is offering $5000 for first place at each
of the eight WERA National Endurance events in the Mediumweight Superbike
class. To assist racers and teams during the series, Graves will also have
parts and technical support staff on hand at each round.
"I am excited to work with Team Zyvax," said
Graves Motorsports President Chuck Graves, a championship-winning endurance
racer and team owner himself. "It takes hundreds of hours to develop top-level
race bikes and years to build a title-winning team. With Graves providing
race-prepped Yamaha R6s and Zyvax supplying the team, I believe we're creating
a win-win relationship. Teams don't get to be endurance racing champions without
careful planning and major attention to the details. I expect that Team Zyvax
will be cashing a few checks for their efforts."
Zyvax team owner JB Layman said, "Getting
help from Graves Motorsports with the bikes is great. The best part of the
program for me is having trackside support at every race. Now, if we need a
part or something is not working right, they will be there with whatever we
need. I believe that this will be the part we were missing last year to get to
the top of the overall podium. I am expecting great things out of the team for
this year."
Other competitors can apply for
eligibility by signing up for a WORKS-level Graves Motorsports account at http://works.gravesport.com and request
