Two lucky winners will win a trip to race against the ACE Pros
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Polaris® Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today announced the company will
award two lucky winners the ability to race against the Pros in a
Single-Seat Polaris ACE™ at the 2015 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country
Series season finale.
Since its introduction in 2014, the ACE architecture has gained
popularity among a wide-variety of riders, including racers, which was
demonstrated last fall when GNCC and Polaris offered an exhibition ACE
Editor’s Race at the Ironman, in Crawfordsville, Indiana. From that
race, Polaris worked with GNCC to establish and sponsor the Single-Seat
Class and is continuing the effort with another ACE event at this year’s
GNCC Ironman race.
”Polaris ACE provides the beginning racer a capable and affordable way
to race while delivering a truly competitive vehicle for the more
experienced racer,” said Dave Miriovsky, general manager for Polaris
ACE. “This contest is part of our continuing commitment to promote
Single-Seat Racing.”
The Polaris ACE is the ideal vehicle for GNCC’s tight, wooded courses
due to the vehicle’s compact design and maneuverability. The
revolutionary, sit-in chassis combines the nimble handling of an ATV
with the security of a Side-by-Side resulting in a race vehicle that is
capable, comfortable and inspires confidence.
“GNCC is excited to offer the Single Seat Class and help Polaris promote
ACE racing,” said GNCC Director Tim Cotter. “We have no doubt that the
ACE is destined to be a mainstay in off-road.”
Starting June 1 through July 15, interested parties can submit a
30-second to 1-minute video on http://apps.facebook.com/acethepros/facebook/store/32775?ref=nf
about why they feel they are the most capable, confident person to race
against the Single-Seat Class Pros. The contest is open to anyone 18
years of age and older with two categories for submissions, current ACE
owners and non-owners.
The most creative videos from each category, as deemed by Polaris, will
be posted on www.Facebook.com/PolarisRANGERATV
for public voting. The submitter from each category with the most votes
will win an all-expense paid trip to the AMSOIL Ironman GNCC, at Ironman
Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on Sat., Oct. 31. Polaris will have
a race-ready ACE 570 waiting for them so they can race with the
Single-Seat Class Pros. Additionally, both winners will go home with a
new 2015 Polaris ACE 570 SP.
