Can-Am Offers
$342,100 in ATV Contingency for 2010 Can-Am GNCC
Racing Series
Morgantown, W.Va. (December 17, 2009) - The
Grand National Cross Country Series Title
Sponsor, Can-Am, has returned for the 2010
series tour with another impressive contingency
program. Can-Am's 2010 GNCC Contingency program
for ATVs is $342,100, the largest ATV payout
announced for the GNCC series. This year, Can-Am
has also increased their Overall Championship
winnings.
"Our contingency program is a way to give back
to those who race Can-Am ATVs," said Chaz Rice,
Manager of Media and Public Relations for
Can-Am. "From the amateur racer all the way to
the professional, Can-Am is committed to helping
fuel the passion for ATV racing across North
America. We are excited to know that the money
we award our contingency program racers is
helping them leave the track with extra gas
money, or money that will help pay for the next
entry fee."
The Can-Am contingency program offers a
contingency payout for all 13 rounds in Utility,
amateur and Pro classes. Can-Am awards the XC1
Pro Class Champion $5,000, and the XC2 Pro-Am
