From Pirelli North America

ROME, GA – With the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Racing season opener looming on Feb. 28-March 3, Pirelli Tire has announced its contingency program for the 2009 championship and its riders.

Serving as a GNCC tire sponsor for 2009, Pirelli will post $79,690 (US) in contingency rewards. Additionally, Pirelli is proud to introduce the all new Pirelli Bucks card. These cards will hold specific values that can be redeemed through the “Official GNCC Trackside Vendor” Gear Racewear. Riders interested in the new Pirelli Bucks card must sign up at the Pirelli truck. All elements of the 2009 Pirelli Contingency will be posted on www.gnccracing.com <http://www.gnccracing.com/>.

As an added bonus to all Pirelli-backed GNCC competitors, the state-of-the-art Pirelli Race Semi will be on hand in River Ranch, FL for the premiere Parts Unlimited River Ranch event, offering support to all of its riders. To help out with the cost of racing Pirelli will offer free tire mounting for any rider using Pirelli Scorpion tires during the 2009 season.
