The fun-loving William Yokley is an icon in GNCC Racing. William and his family have been coming to the races for the better part of two decades, as older brother John was a top pro contender back in the late 1980s. But it's William who has had the most success, not only winning a whole bunch of races over the years, but also amassing a massive fan base thanks to his ‘Get ‘r Done' philosophy on racing. Yokley loves to compete and loves to have fun, and while he's not always the smoothest rider on the track, he's more than willing to run over anything that gets in his way, and huge heart and determination means Yokley can overcome whatever bad luck his all-out philosophy brings his way. After a run as a factory Kawasaki and factory Suzuki racer, Yokley did things his own way for 2008, with support from the National Guard on a Honda. Solid results led to a factory deal with Polaris, and now William will campaign their Outlaw 450. Expect William to be a contender, and expect him, and everyone else around him, to be wearing a smile while they go about their business.
