Cody Miller brought the GNCC number one plate over to Yamaha after winning the XC1 championship for 2016 in a Can-Am. He continued his winning ways driving a Yamaha YXZ1000R in 2017 and was rewarded handsomely.Yamaha

If you were racing a Yamaha YXZ1000R in GNCC, WORCS, Lucas Oil or the TORC series this season, you were fighting for a chunk of $100,000 in prize money from Yamaha alone. The Yamaha bLU cRU bonus money is a great incentive to run the brand. Championship bonus checks for at least $7,500 and up to $15,000 we awarded to four driver’s competing all season and Jason Weller took home a cool $5000 for being the top finishing Yamaha at the King Of The Hammers event. See below the drivers who won bLU cRU bucks in 2017.

By mid December, Yamaha will announce the 2018 bLU cRU payout schedule and it’s sure to be just as generous. To see all of the specifics, log onto www.YamahabLUcRU.com .Yamaha
