One lucky winner will take home a Kymco UXV 500.

“We are so happy to be able to work with the IZOD IndyCar Series on this promotion and further integrate our fan bases,” says Rick Pawelka, Kymco USA marketing director. “The IZOD IndyCar Series drivers have been very enthusiastic about our product and really enjoyed signing the two scooters we’re giving away. I’ve been working closely with Ryan Hunter-Reay and he is excited about this opportunity as well. You’ll see a lot of him during this promotion.”

 “I am thrilled to be involved with KYMCO and this promotion,” says Hunter-Reay. ”I’ve been riding Kymco scooters since they partnered with the IZOD IndyCar Series last year and have really enjoyed them.  I’m excited to help make this promotion happen and get more involved with the fans.”  Kymco USA is the official scooter and off-road utility vehicle of the Indy Racing League, the sanctioning body for the IZOD IndyCar Series. To check out the KYMCO Super 8 49cc Scooters signed by the stars of the IZOD IndyCar Series, visit Kymco USA’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Kymco.Scooters.
