Valcourt, Québec, December 16, 2009 – Team
Motoworks / Can-Am racer Chad Wienen swept both
motos to take the overall win at the opening
round of the DWT World MX Racing Championship
near Mesquite, AZ. Wienen quickly worked his way
to the front of the field in the first Pro 450
moto for the win, and took the holeshot during
the second moto and never looked back aboard his
Can-Am DS 450™. His teammate, Jeremie Warnia
took second overall in the opening round.
"The entire Motoworks team worked hard this
weekend and both Chad and Jeremie are going very
fast on their DS 450s this season," says Jimmie
O'Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP.
"This first race was a great kickoff to the
upcoming season and we are looking forward to
solid results and championships in 2010 from the
Motoworks / Can-Am team."
The next day, racers took to the track and
contested the second round of the series as part
of a doubleheader weekend at Mesquite MX Park.
Wienen looked to continue his excellent results
from the previous day, but would have to settle
for second overall as he went 2-2 for the
Pro-class motos. Warnia raced to fourth overall
during the second round, going 3-4 in the Pro
class.
Dillon Zimmerman had a decent showing in the Pro
class with two top-10 finishes on his Motoworks
DS 450 for the weekend as well. The next race in
the series is January 2 at Glen Helen Raceway
near San Bernardino, CA.
