Morgantown, W. Va. -- Grand National Cross
County Series Title Sponsor Can-Am returns for
the GNCC Series with a new, larger contingency
program, as their 2009 GNCC payout for ATVs
totals $355,800. The Can-Am program features the
largest ATV payout in the GNCC Series.
The Can-Am program offers contingency from
GNCC Youth and Utility classes all the way up to
the pro ranks. Can-Am awards the XC1 Pro class
race winner a prize of $2,500, followed by
$1,000 for second, and $750 for third.
"We stepped up our contingency program in
2009 to help support the ATV racers out there
dedicated to Can-Am ATVs," said Del Bohlman,
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "We want
to see as many yellow Can-Am ATVs out on the
GNCC course as possible and will continue to
support the GNCC series and ATV racing as a
whole. We can't wait for the season to begin."

About GNCC Racing
The Can-Am Grand National Cross Country series
is America's premier off-road racing series.
Founded in 1973, the 13-round championship is
produced exclusively by Racer Productions.
Cross-country racing is one of the most
physically demanding sports in the world. The
grueling three-hour GNCC races lead as many as
1,800 riders through tracks ranging in length
from eight to 12 miles. With varied terrain,
including hills, woods, mud, dirt, rocks and
motocross sections, GNCC events are tests of
both survival and speed. Riders compete for more
than $3 million in prize money, which draws
talent from all over the U.S., Europe, Australia
and New Zealand. GNCC Racing is televised and
airs every Saturday and Thursday on the Versus
Network. For more information, please visit
