AmPro Yamaha Team Confirmed for 2015 KENDA Tennessee Knockout
Press Release | August 7, 2015
The AmPro Yamaha trio of Grant Baylor, Jordan Ashburn and Daniel Milner have confirmed that they will be competing at the 2015 KENDA AMA Tennessee Knockout. The event will take place at the Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee on the weekend of August 15-16.
Baylor finished a strong third at the 2014 TKO and now as a member of the KENDA backed AmPro Yamaha team, he is looking forward to the 2015 event. “In 2013, I made the main and learned a lot” said Baylor. “I put in a lot of hard work and that helped me get a good result in 2014. I love riding the rocky terrain and it is nice to do a one off event with no points on the line and just let it all hang out there.”
Jordan Ashburn is a Tennessee native and he has competed in all four previous TKO events. The longtime AmPro Yamaha rider has shown great speed but will be looking for his first TKO podium in 2015.
Daniel Milner is an Australian transplant spending his first season racing in the US. He recently took a big win at the KENDA Full Gas Sprint Enduro series by outdueling Kailub Russell, the current GNCC Champion. This will be Milner’s first attempt at the TKO.
Cody Webb will be back to defend his TKO title and Great Britain’s Jonny Walker has confirmed he will be competing in his first TKO along with the AmPro Yamaha team riders. Look for more top riders to be confirmed as we close in on the event. Unqualified Expert/Pro and amateur riders race on Saturday, August 15th with the top finishers earning the opportunity to move on to the Sunday Expert Knockout rounds. On Sunday, riders will compete in a very tough and spectator friendly four-round Knockout racing format. The Sunday racing will start with a “Hot Lap” at 9:30 am central time.
