Zip Ty Husqvarna Confirms Cory Graffunder and Jamie Lanza to Compete in the Kenda Tennessee Knockout!



Top
young guns likely to surprise some of the veterans


Sequatchie,
TN (July 22, 2011)
– Team
Zip Ty Husqvarna will have two top riders on hand to try to take the
top step of the podium at the first running of the KENDA Tennessee
Knockout, fueled by Monster Energy. Cory Graffunder and Jamie Lanza
will be competing at round three of the GEICO EnduroCross series in
Indianapolis just a few days before so they will make the short drive
down to Tennessee’s Trials Training Center for the August 28th
TKO. Both of these young riders have already proven their skill and
tenacity with impressive results in big international events so
either one of them could put a Husqvarna in the winner’s circle.



Cory
Graffunder is arguably Canada’s top off road motorcycle racer and
winner of the 2010 Xtinction Extreme Enduro in Canada as well as 4th
place finisher in the 2010 EnduroCross championship. Graffunder has
also put in a few trips to Europe for some Extreme Enduro action and
has a few top ten finishes at Erzeberg, the most famous Extreme
Enduro, so that experience should prove very valuable at the
Tennessee Knockout.



Jamie
Lanza has joined Graffunder on the Zip Ty Husqvarna team for 2011 and
he too has proven his speed and strength in tough off road events
with several great results at the ISDE as a member of the US Junior
Trophy Team. Lanza is a crowd favorite at any event he competes in as
his short stature and go for broke riding style grab the attention of
everybody in attendance.



Ty
Davis, one of the most versatile Motocross and off road motorcycle
racers of all time has high expectations for his riders at the
Tennessee Knockout. “Cory is really strong at these difficult
events and Jamie is incredibly fit and never gives up so I believe
that they can both be a threat for the win at this event” stated
Davis. “It is great to have another good off road event that fits
well with our EnduroCross travel schedule to showcase our riders and
sponsors”.



The
2011 Kenda Tennessee Knockout event will feature Expert racing on
Sunday, August 28th.
Amateur riders will get the opportunity to compete on much of the
same course on Saturday, August 27th
and the top finishers will have the opportunity to advance to the
Sunday Expert finals with free entries.
