Birmingham, AL – September 20, 2018 –

Westby Racing’s Golden Ticket Giveaway garnered more than 2,500 entries, and from that large group of enthusiastic fans, Joann Halpin, 23, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was the big winner. As part of her Westby Racing Golden Ticket prize package, Joann and her guest Eric Cooper were flown to Birmingham, Alabama, put up in a Birmingham-area hotel for the weekend, and today, they began their Westby Racing Golden Ticket dream weekend at Barber Motorsports Park, as they attend the Final Round of the 2018 MotoAmerica season.

 

When first notified that she was the Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner, Joann was understandably incredulous about the news. “I’m definitely so glad this isn’t a hoax,” Joann said. “Thank you so much! We are really looking forward to this incredible event!”

“Westby Racing is such a special team,” Joann added. “It’s only the first day of this amazing weekend, and I already feel like part of their family. Eric and I are huge race fans, and long-time Westby Racing fans, too. And we both ride, so the Bell helmets and all the other bike parts and accessories are extra-special to us, along with the on-track experiences, the plane tickets and hotel room. It’s just overwhelming. We’re so thankful for everything!”

 

Chuck Giacchetto, Team Manager for Yamalube/Westby Racing commented, “On behalf of everyone on our team and in the home office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I want to congratulate Joann on being our Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner. I also want to thank Bell Helmets and our other team sponsors who stepped up big and loaded up the Golden Ticket prize package with some truly special gifts. Our partnership with our sponsors is vital to the success of our team, and the Golden Ticket prize package is just one more reason why our sponsors are the best in the business.”
