MONTREAL (September 23, 2008) -- Pat Brown won
the ATV portion of the Montreal Supercross last
Saturday at Olympic Stadium. The ITP Tires/Moose
Racing Pro AMA/ATVA National Championship
regular beat out an 18-quad field to win the
special event.
Brown (No. 199 Factory Yamaha) took the top
qualifying spot and came out of the gate third
for the final. Muscling his way through the
field, Brown took the lead on the first lap and
fought off Canadian Greg Gee (No. 10 Team Epic
Can-Am) for the victory. Harold Goodman (No. 708
American Honda/Houser Racing Honda) finished
third.
Brown said he hopes the victory will lead to
positive results as he heads to the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country (GNCC) race this weekend
at Unadilla Valley Sports Center in New York.
"I really like Supercross racing," said Brown.
"I knew we could win all year in the ATV
Motocross Series, but we had a lot of bad luck.
This win definitely helps. I'm going to the
Unadilla GNCC this weekend, so hopefully we can
carry the momentum into there."
Brown, one of seven Americans in the field,
was pleased to bring the honor back the United
States.
"It's great," said Brown. "The guys up there
really wanted it. It was really the only time
they got to race the top ATV riders in the world
in front of their home crowd. Then again,
everyone wants to win every race."
