Polaris Responds to Cross Border Sled Buying With Rebates For Canadian Buyers

Press Release –

Polaris is a global company. Currency fluctuation is often a challenge for manufacturers and dealers alike and there is no perfect solution.

Currency fluctuation is usually a temporary situation that corrects itself over time.

Polaris’ policy is not directed at Canadian consumers or the citizens of any particular country.

Polaris prohibits all dealers around the world from actively selling across borders for a variety of regulatory, marketing and distribution reasons.

Polaris has not altered its policy against selling across borders. This policy has been in effect for many years.

Polaris has acknowledged the historic currency fluctuation between Canada and the United States by rolling out a Canadian exclusive retail program including rebates of up to $1,000 (depending on model), effective November 1, 2007.

These programs neutralize the cost to the Canadian consumer and strongly encourage Canadians to purchase in Canada.

Moreover, Polaris’ pricing and programs are very competitive in the marketplace.

Press Release –

The powerful Judnick Motorsports snocross racing team and its leading rider, Pro Open champion Ross Martin, have signed three-year contract extensions with Polaris and will campaign Polaris race sleds beyond the end of the decade.

The Judnick team and Martin as an individual racer were already signed through this coming winter, and the three-year extensions keep them in the Polaris camp through the end of the 2010-2011 racing season.

Judnick Motorsports Team Owner Scott Judnick said his team looks forward to extending the partnership.

“Including the upcoming 2007-2008 season, we will be proudly flying the Polaris flag in our camp for the next four years,” he said. “We have had an outstanding relationship with the folks at Polaris and we couldn’t be more thrilled to continue working together.”

The Judnick team enjoyed a very strong 2006-2007 season as its three racers earned 21 WPSA National top 10 finishes, Ross Martin won the Pro Open points title and he had more Pro wins than any other racer.

Martin has had the type of career race team managers dream of. Three years ago, in his final year as a Semi-Pro racer, he won both the Open and Stock points titles.

In his first year as a Pro racer he finished second in points in both classes. Last year, in his sophomore year in pro racing, he won the WPSA circuit’s Pro Open title and was fifth in Pro Stock points.

Along with Ross Martin, the other Judnick Motorsports racers are Pro-class racer Matt Judnick and Expert-class racer Dylan Martin.

Matt Judnick finished 15th in WPSA Pro Stock points last winter and 16th in Pro Open. Dylan Martin was ninth in Semi-Pro Open points last season and 12th in Semi-Pro Stock.

Judnick Motorsports crew members are Tom Rager, Jr., Roger Faber and Tony Swiontek, and the team is owned by Scott and Colleen Judnick.

Team Adds Sponsors

Judnick Motorsports has reached a sponsorship agreement with Jack Links Beef Jerky, and the premium beef jerky producer joins DuPont, Amsoil and Polaris Racing as major sponsors for Judnick Motorsports.

Other new sponsors for the team this season include Stud Boy, Renton Coil Springs and Hayford Ford. They join these returning team sponsors: Walker Evans Racing, Fly, SLP, C-Tech, Stratford Sign Co., Wayne Davis Photography, SPY, Jeff Foster Trucking, C&A Pro, HMK; CTI and TekVest.

“We have a first-class, national championship race team joining forces with the number one brand of beef jerky. This is truly a win-win for everyone,” said team owner Scott Judnick. “We couldn’t be prouder to represent Jack Links Beef Jerky on and off the race track.”

Jack Link’s Vice President of Marketing Bret Ocholik said, “The untamed spirit that embodies the Jack Link’s Beef Jerky brand makes it a perfect match with the WPSA Snocross Championship Tour. We are pleased to sponsor the Judnick Motorsports team and their outstanding drivers. We look forward to a great racing season.”
