Jan. 23, 2024

Yokohama Tire Corp. has announced Isenhouer Brothers Racing to its off-road racing team for the annual King of Hammers race. 

Yokohama’s off-road team will compete on various Geolandar off-road tires for the race. 

“Nick and Chris Isenhouer are an incredible addition to the team,” says Andrew Briggs, vice president of marketing and product management for Yokohama. 

“They bring not only an extraordinary off-road racing skill set, which definitely will give the team a competitive edge but a deep understanding of marketing, content creation and the off-road culture. We can’t wait to see what they can do with our tough, durable Geolandar tires both on and off the racecourse.” 

The Isenhouer Brothers will compete in the Spec TT class while veteran Levi Shirley heads up the 4400 class. Both will be on purpose-built Geolandar MT-R 40X13.50R18 tires. 

“We are super excited to join the Yokohama team and to be working with a manufacturer that has such a rich history in motorsport tire technology centered around racing,” says Nick Isenhouer. 

Other Yokohama team drivers include Jonathan Brenthel in the TT class; Jordan Brenthel and Apdaly Lopez, Spec TT; and Bailey Cole, 4600/4400. All will race on the MT-R tires. 

 Also competing will be Kyle Chaney, Desert UTV; Wayne Matlock, Desert UTV; and Kristen Matlock Desert UTV. They will all be riding on Geolandar SD tires in a new size: 35X11.50-15.
