The newly formed,
Yamaha-supported Pat Clark Motorsports road race team is excited to announce that its 2010 sponsor roster includes the prestigious Palms Hotel & Casino as well as the celebrated Las Vegas Motor Speedway, both in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ben Bostrom will be back in 2010 piloting the
Yamaha R1, this time for the Pat Clark Motorsports Team.
“We are very excited about the upcoming 2010 road race season,” said team Technical Director Ron Heben. “Having sponsors like the Palms Hotel & Casino and Las Vegas Motor Speedway is great for Yamaha and fairly unprecedented for our sport. Our hope is that this is just the beginning for increasing non-endemic support for road racing in the U.S.”
The two-rider Pat Clark Motorsports team of
