From checkered-flag dominant sports cars to triumphant trophy trucks, Yokohama Tire’s rich racing heritage will be highlighted – along with several new ultra-high performance (UHP) and off-road/light truck tires, eye-catching vehicles and action sports star Travis Pastrana – at its spectacular SEMA Show booth (#62118-62119). The SEMA Show runs from November 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Additionally, Yokohama and Nitro Circus are partnering again with SEMA Ignited® to present another exclusive, high-octane Nitro Circus Freestyle Motocross (FMX) show for consumers on Friday, November 8.
Located just outside South Hall, Yokohama’s new activation truck and trailer will anchor the race-themed booth, which will have distinct UHP and light truck sections, highlighting both their motorsports roots and new product lineup. Several unique cars will be on hand in a visually impactful multi-level display.
“Racing, both on- and off-road, has been a hallmark for Yokohama – it’s in our DNA,” said Andrew Briggs, Yokohama’s VP of marketing and product management. “We’re looking forward to vividly presenting our storied racing legacy, rich heritage and all-new product lineup to the worldwide trade audience and car enthusiasts who attend.”
