Yamaha's Team Receives Monster Energy's Sponsorship

It was recently announced that Josh Hayes and Josh Herrin would
participate the American Motorcyclist Association Pro Road Racing
Championships while being supported by Monster Energy Graves
Motorsports Yamaha.
The M4 Suzuki team consisting of Martin Cardenas and Chris Ulrich
lost Monster Energy's backing during the off season, despite riding
their sponsored bikes in the Superbike class. Cardenas even wore
the energy drink's colors in the Daytona SportBike Class. However,
the sponsor decided to go in a different direction.
"Creating the Monster Energy Graves Motorsports Yamaha team
connects our brand with one of the most respected racing programs
and two of the best riders in the country," said Alex Dunstan,
motorsports manager for Monster Energy. "Having the American
Superbike number-one plate represent the number-one energy drink in
the U.S. is a natural fit for our company and we look forward to
kicking off the season at Daytona."
In addition, the conglomerate has also announced that Chris Clark
will come back to the Yamaha team under the Yamaha Extended
Service/Pat Clark Sports/Graves Yamaha banner. The company will add
the HT Moto Racing and Team LTD Racing where Hayes' wife will ride
the bike at the Daytona SportsBike class.
