Valcourt, Québec, March 10, 2009 – Can-Am™
ATV racers saw another successful weekend of
action with top-10 finishes and wins in the
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country, ITP/Moose
Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship presented
by Parts Unlimited and ITP Quadcross series.
“This past race weekend is when the 2009 ATV
racing season begins in earnest for everyone,”
says Del Bohlman, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs
at BRP. “And with our success across the board
during the weekend, it is safe to say we are
ready to bring BRP more championships this
season and start where we left off in 2008. All
of our racers, teams and staff are ready to go
and cannot wait for the next rounds of racing."
During round-two GNCC racing in Georgia,
Can-Am Outlander™ ATVs swept the 4x4 classes,
while the DS 450™ fought hard in the afternoon
XC1 Pro class. A Renegade™ 800R ridden by Team
Warnert Racing / Can-Am pilot Rick Cecco won the
U2 class easily after taking the holeshot
against the rest of the class. Cecco's
teammates; Bryan Buckhannon, Michael Swift and
Cliff Beasley; each won the 4x4 Open, 4x4
Limited and 4x4 Lites classes respectively.
Jamie Bithell, who races for the Can-Am X-team,
took second in the competitive College A (16-21)
class on his DS 450.
The ITP Quadcross opening round of the 2009
season was completely dominated by the Can-Am DS
450. Team Motoworks / Can-Am racer Jermie Warnia
was on the warpath against the rest of the Pro
field. In the 450 Pro class he took the holeshot
in the main and maintained a lead throughout the
race. He did the same in the Open Pro class,
taking the holeshot and never relinquishing the
lead. Warnia's teammate, Dillion Zimmerman, in
the amateur 4-Stroke Expert class took the win
on his DS 450.
For the AMA ATV Motocross Championship,
Can-Am racers worked hard throughout the weekend
and are prepping for the second round to build
on the two top-10, Pro-class finishes by Team
Warnert Racing / Can-Am rider John Natalie and
Team Motoworks / Can-Am racer Jeremy Lawson.
Both riders raced their DS 450 ATVs hard against
the rest of the Pro field on Sunday's final
motos.
Round three of the GNCC series will be March
21 near Morganton, NC, while the AMA ATV
Motocross Championship travels to Pell City, AL
for round two during the same weekend. Round two
of the ITP Quadcross championship will take
place April 12 near Buckeye, AZ at the Arizona
Cycle Park. For more information of Can-Am
