BRP Sweeps Podium at Snowshoe GNCC
Can-Am ATV
Racers Take Podium And Top Six Spots In Morning
Overall
Valcourt, Québec, June 29, 2009 – The
Snowshoe GNCC race is recognized as the roughest
of the 13-round GNCC championship. The ski
resort backdrop provides rocky, mountainous
terrain, which is a test for both rider and ATV.
Can-Am™ was ready for the test as the first six
ATVs across the morning finish line were all
Can-Am ATVs, beating more than 275 other racers.
Can-Am / Warnert Racing rider Michael Swift took
the overall win aboard his Can-Am Outlander™
800R EFI ATV, continuing his nine-for-nine win
streak in the 4x4 Limited class. Can-Am
Renegade® 800R EFI ATV racer, and Can-Am X-Team
member, Jeremie Dudding, won the U2 class and
took second overall. Dudding's teammate, Scott
Kilby, won the 4x4 Open class and took third
overall on his Outlander 800R.

"It is always a great day when we can sweep a
GNCC podium," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing Manager
for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "But to see the top six
spots really is a testament to the preparation
and training our racers put forth week after
week; the Snowshoe GNCC will reward hard work
and maximum effort."
In other classes, Warnert Racing's Cliff
Beasley took the 4x4 Lites win on his Outlander
500 EFI. The afternoon session saw Warnert's
Chris Bithell leading the XC1 Pro class on his
DS 450™ EFI on the penultimate lap of the race,
but a untimely bottleneck caused him to drop
behind the leaders and finish sixth in his
class.
Heading into the GNCC summer break, Swift has
already clinched the 4x4 Limited championship.
Can-Am is also leads the championship race in
the 4x4 Open, 4x4 Lites and U2 classes.
In other racing action, Team Motoworks /
Can-Am racer Jeremy Lawson took fourth overall
at the AMA Pro ATV Motocross National in
Tennessee. In the AMA Pro class, Lawson finished
second in the first moto on his DS 450. Two
other Can-Am DS 450 racers finished in the pro
top 10: Motoworks racer Jeremie Warnia took
seventh overall while Warnert's Cody Miller took
eighth. In Canada, Can-Am X-Team racer Richard
Pelchat took the overall in the Pro class at
