BREVARD COUNTY • MALABAR, FLORIDA – Fortunate are the children of Kellie Wright and Willy Carmine, for they have parents with all the toys.

Wright and Carmine are, respectively, president and vice president of Route 1 Motorsports in Malabar, the hub for Powersports products on the Space Coast and where the fun begins.

For any job – and fun – ahead, side-by-side crossovers such as the 2023 Polaris® General XP 1000 Ultimate, are, indeed, ultimate road warriors. Some of these luxury models even include air conditioning in a long list of amenities.

“It’s been a big reason for many people to upgrade,” said Carmine.

Carmine, who worked for Sea-Doo for 13 years, opened a small mom-and-pop motorsports repair service shop in 2007. In a decade, the business mushroomed into the giant showroom that continues as the company’s flagship today.

“I have been involved in the power sports industry my entire life and always dreamed of owning a dealership that provided the best vehicles and the best service,” Carmine said.

Carmine got his wish, with a large, state-of-the-art showroom that also includes parts, accessories, apparel and more from original equipment manufacturer to performance products from leading brands.
