Chino, Calif. - March 11, 2009 - Yoshimura just announced a new partnership with Hinson Clutch Components and racing legend Jeremiah Jones. At a recent Press Conference for Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Factory Racing ATV team, Brant Russell of Yoshimura and Wayne Hinson announced that the two companies have teamed up with Jones for race support.
"Wayne Hinson and I have thought about this for a long time," Russell explained. "We came to the conclusion that there is no better person that we would rather have represent our products than Jeremiah Jones. "
Jones will be out on the road at various ATV racing series representing these two companies with on-site support for pro and amateur racers. It is planned that Jones will be attending many AMA ATV Pro, GNCC, ITP Quad Cross, and WORCS series races plus as many large amateur events that can be fit into the schedule. In addition, Jeremiah will manage the amateur and pro race support programs, provide technical assistance and overall help and guidance to racers.
Wayne Hinson was equally excited about the partnership. "This is coming at the perfect time for us. We've had a lot of success with our new Back Torque Limiter (BTL) Hinson clutch plus we also have a new FSC Clutch kit which offers superior performance and durability for racing ATVs. We know that Jeremiah will help spread the Hinson name to all the amateur racers across the country in addition to the pros."
Jeremiah will also be running all of the ATV sponsorship programs for Yoshimura. Quad racers in any category should contact Jeremiah to be considered for the Yoshimura support team.
"I'm very excited," Jones said. "I always enjoy working with amateur racers and up and coming pros. It's very gratifying for me to help bring them up to the next level. I'm going to be looking for not only fast riders but quality individuals who can represent these fine companies in a positive manner. "
Jones will continue to run his Jeremiah Jones racing school with continued support from these companies - All Jeremiah Jones Racing School graduates will receive a sponsorship package from Hinson and Yoshimura.
Jones kicked off the job by attending the opening AMA ATV race at Glen Helen, California and is scheduled to attend the Millcreek event coming up in two weeks. Look for Jeremiah under the Yoshimura / Hinson pop-up tents or cruising around the pits on his Suzuki Rockstar KingQuad.
