BRP TO INJECT US$1.6
MILLION TO ITS 2010 CAN-AM X TEAM ATV
CONTINGENCY PROGRAM
Valcourt, Québec, December 7, 2009 – In 2010,
BRP will inject US$1.6 million into its Can Am X
Team ATV Contingency Program. From Canada,
across the United States, down to Mexico, Can-Am
ATV racers should be eligible for a cash payout
through this program during the 2010 ATV racing
season.
Building on its successful 2009 Can-Am X-Team
ATV Racing Contingency program, BRP is expanding
the 2010 program to include more cash and more
national and regional series in North America.
"Enhanced racer support from the pro racer to
the amateur is our goal with this program," says
Denis Morin, vice–president, Product Development
& Racing at BRP. "As racing is key to improving
all of our products at BRP, it is nice to be
able to expand our contingency program to reward
those who have committed to continuing Can-Am
success on the race track."
In North America, BRP is committing to pay
out contingency cash in 19 race series,
including the Can-Am Grand National Cross
Country series (13 classes), the ITP/Moose
Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship (17
classes), the SCORE International Baja 1000, the
High Lifter Mud Nationals and the CMRC Canadian
MX National series. In addition to those events,
BRP has pledged support to just about every
major regional race series on the continent.
Racers who meet the terms of the contingency
program will receive a cash payout in the amount
earned based on his or her placing in the event,
with payment mailed directly to the participant
or legal guardian. BRP is also awarding
contingency for overall championships at the end
of the season.
