BRP Picks Up Podium Finish at ATV Motocross
Finals
Can-Am Rider
John Natalie Takes Third At Loretta Lynn's ATV
National
Valcourt, Québec, August 19, 2009 – Team
Warnert Racing / Can-Am™ DS 450™ EFI ATV racer
John Natalie felt strong going into the final
race of the 2009 AMA ITP/Moose Racing ATV
National Motocross Championship Series Presented
by Parts Unlimited. Battling hard in the
Tennessee heat and humidity, Natalie rode his DS
450 to a third overall finish putting him on the
podium to finish the season with 3-4 moto
finishes at the famed Loretta Lynn motocross
track.
"What a way to finish the season, John's been
working very hard this year and he definitely
deserved this podium finish," says Jimmie
O'Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP.
"With this final motocross race of the season, I
would like to take time to thank all of our
fans, our Can-Am X-Team racers and our partner
teams, Warnert Racing and Motoworks. Without
everyone involved week after week none of this
would be possible. We continue to thank everyone
involved at all levels for a successful season!"
In the Pro ranks, three Can-Am DS 450 racers
placed in the top 10 for the championship.
Natalie, along with teammate Cody Miller and
Team Motoworks / Can-Am rider Jeremy Lawson, all
finished in the top 10 in 2009. Can-Am finished
the 2009 season with three overall podiums.
“It felt really good to finish the season on
the podium and I think next season we are in
line for a championship," comments Natalie. “I
plan to take about a week off and get right back
to training and riding. Since I had to have
surgery on my shoulder last season I didn’t get
to train as hard as I wanted to, but next year
will be different!”
In amateur racing action at Loretta Lynn's,
Cole Henry of Petersburg, VA took second in the
450 A class and third in the Four-Stroke A class
aboard his DS 450. He won motos in both classes
during the weekend. Henry finishes the season in
second for the Four-Stroke A championship with
two overall wins on the season. Angela Adkins,
of Charles City, VA ended the season second
overall with three overall wins in the Woman's
class championship on her DS 450.
