Can-Am/XPS Lubricants/CT Raceworx driver Kyle
Chaney put an exclamation point on his TORC Series

Kyle Chaney clinched the TORC Pro Mod UTV
Championship by claiming two wins at the
triple header season finale at ERX Moto
Park |
The events were part of a tripleheader weekend
held on ERX’s short course. The unique track included
one of the series most grueling layouts with a
mixture of sand, dirt and clay on the racing surfaces.
Chaney took the lead from fellow Can-Am driver
Tim Farr on the second lap and then drove to a
dominant win. He relied on the X3’s superior handling
and power to score the runaway victory.

the win on Sunday |
“I got out in front of Tim and ran my own race,”
said Chaney. “I was able to stay smooth and calm.
He took a bad line off to the right and I was
able to get by him. My Can-Am worked great.”
Chaney ran the most consistent race of all TORC
competitors this season. He scored six consecutive
second-place finishes to start the year before
earning his first victory at Bark River. He won
two more races, and scored three additional podiums,
but his fifth-place effort after cutting down
two tires at the last race in Crandon stood out
for him.

Chaney finished out the season on top the
box with his third win of the TORC season |
“This came down the wire,” said Chaney. “We’ve
been on the podium all year except one race. That
one race really won this championship. I had two
flat tires and still managed a good finishing
position and some good points. That race saved
our season. This didn’t come easy. It took the
whole team.”
Can-Am Racing Project Leader Jeff Leclerc praised
Chaney’s efforts this season. In the end, Can-Am’s
finished first and third in TORC points.
“Kyle is a great driver with a great machine,”
said Leclerc. “It shows that when you combine
a great driver with a great machine, the results
are there. The X3 is a great platform here, in
the desert, and also in the woods. We’re having
success everywhere in North America. We’re proud
of that platform and our market share is growing
after every race.”
