Beta Motorcycles USA is excited to announce a special fan-engagement and charitable initiative: a Fantasy GNCC Fundraiser taking place at the season-ending Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on October 26th.

The unique fantasy competition will raise money for the Road 2 Recovery Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial and emotional support to injured professional action sports athletes.

Race for a Cause: Pick Your Beta Dream Team

Participants will have the chance to predict the outcome of the morning Sportsman A race, which will feature a select group of Beta’s top riders, race team personnel, and brand ambassadors.

The fantasy event will center on the 2-hour Sportsman A race on Sunday, October 26th. The Beta USA lineup for the event includes:

Zach Osborne

Zane Roberts
Kyle McDonal
Brayden Nolette
Dennis LeBlanc

Carlen Gardner
Brian Marok
Rodney Smith

How to Play:

For a $20.00 entry, participants will fill out an entry form to predict the finishing order of the Beta riders against each other (1st through 8th).

  • Scoring: Players will receive points equal to their predicted position (e.g., predicting a rider to finish 3rd earns 3 points). The player with the highest total score wins.
  • Tie-Breaker: The tie-breaker will go to the entry that was submitted first. So get your picks in.

A Great Cause, A Great Prize

The funds raised from the Fantasy Fundraiser will be split evenly:

  • 50% of all proceeds will be donated directly to the Road 2 Recovery Foundation.
  • 50% will be awarded to the winner(s) of the Fantasy GNCC Fundraiser.

“The Ironman GNCC is one of the most exciting races of the year, and it’s the perfect backdrop for a little friendly competition that also supports an incredible cause,” said Bryan Wunsch, Beta USA Marketing Manager. “Road 2 Recovery does vital work for our industry, and we’re proud to turn this fun fantasy contest into real support for the foundation and our athletes.”

Fans are encouraged to submit multiple entries to increase their chances of winning while maximizing their contribution to the Road 2 Recovery Foundation.

The deadline for all entries is 12:00pm PST on Friday, October 24th.
