Valcourt, Canada (2/1/2010) -
In 2010, BRP’s Can-Am ATV racers will be
out in force competing on race tracks across North
America.
Looking to build on the 2009 multi-championship
success, BRP is pledging support to various
race-team partners and more than 20 factory-supported
racers in the Can-Am X-Team support program.
In all, more than 30 racers will have some level
of factory backing as they compete in all the
major national and regional ATV-racing series
in North America.
“At BRP, every product we develop sees
benefit from successes on the race track,”
says Denis Morin, vice-president, Product development
& Racing. “Last year marked the most
successful ATV-racing season for Can-Am with
seven Pro and amateur overall championships.
With multiple riders receiving support from
BRP once again this season, we are confident
to bring home more championships than ever before."

Warnert Racing will concentrate 100 percent on
the Grand National Cross Country series (GNCC)
13-round championship, fielding seven racers in
six classes. Returning in the XC1 Pro class is
Chris Bithell (#13). This will
be his third season with Warnert Racing on the
Can-Am DS 450™ EFI ATV. Joining Bithell
in the XC 1 Pro class is
Adam McGill (#3),
who finished last season with multiple Pro-class
podiums and third in the points championship.
Both riders have one goal: giving BRP's Can-Am
DS 450 a GNCC XC 1 Pro championship.
In the 4x4 classes, Warnert is supporting three
racers. Defending his 4x4 Open-class championship
on the Can-Am Outlander™ 800R EFI XT™
ATV will be Bryan Buckhannon
(#230). Joining him in the morning race is multi-time
GNCC champion Michael Swift (#204),
who will race an Outlander 800R EFI XT ATV in
the 4x4 Limited class. Finally, Cliff
Beasley (#206) moves to the U2 class.
Beasley will race the Can-Am Renegade™
800R EFI X™ xc.
