“Our Yamaha Trackside Support program and our southeast representative Triangle Cycles is pumped to add the Daytona event to their calendar in 2014,” Donnie Luce, Yamaha Racing Amateur MX Coordinator, said. “This is a prestigious event and we look forward to supporting our bLU cRU riders as well as seeing riders in action for the first time in 2014.”
The event will also kick off the eight-round Women’s Motocross (WMX) Championship, featuring an all-new WMX Class for riders who are pre-approved for a 2014 WMX license, in addition to Women (12+) 99-250cc and Girls (9-13) 79-85cc 2-Stroke.
