Cody Grant Named ATV Rookie Of The Year

As the ATV racing
season comes to a close, awards are being handed out to recognize
some of the top riders in the AMA ATV Motocross series. While he
didn't end up taking home a championship, young Cody Grant was
recently named the Rookie of the Year at a banquet in Pala,
California.
The 24-year-old Kentucky native moved up to the Pro tier this year
and impressed many with his high finishes. Although he was racing
against seasoned veterans like Pat Brown and Dustin Wimmer, he was
able to place 11th in the point standings and earn a number of
top-10 finishes for the Yoshimura team.
Yoshimura boss Kory Ellis said the team was proud of their young
rider.
"Yoshimura is really happy to have supported Cody the last two
years," he said. "We're proud to see him move up to the Pro class
and win the rookie of the year award, and hope to have continued
success with him."
Despite his success, this offseason will not be one of leisure for
Grant, as he will return to Kentucky to help his family on their
farm. The rider says he will continue to train and is looking to
improve his racing for next season.
