Valcourt, Canada (4/24/2009) -
Riders on Can-Am(tm) ATVs had much success last
weekend in both the GNCC race series and at the
AMA ATV Motocross race. With an off weekend coming
up, they look to build on that success for the next
rounds of ATV racing. At the Loretta Lynn GNCC near
Hurricane Mills, TN, Team Warnert Racing / Can-Am
rider Bryan Buckhannon dominated the 4x4 Open class
on his Can-Am Outlander(tm) 800R EFI ATV finishing
six minutes ahead of second place. His teammate
Michael Swift, also aboard an Outlander 800R, took
first place in the 4x4 Limited class.
That weekend also saw BRP riders place three
DS 450(tm) EFI ATVs in the top ten of the Pro
class at the AMA ATV Motocross National near Danville,
VA. Team Warnert Racing / Can-Am racers John Natalie
and Cody Miller took fourth and fifth respectively,
while Team Motoworks / Can-Am racer Jeremy Lawson
took eighth overall. In the amateur classes, Cole
Henry took the Four-Stroke A class win on his
DS 450, while Angela Adkins took first place in
the Women's class. Adkins was also riding a DS
450.

"Our racers continue to be extremely successful
on Can-Am ATVs and are getting a lot of seat time
this weekend to prep for upcoming races,"
says Delton Bohlman, Racing Manager for Can-Am
ATVs at BRP. "We look forward to seeing amateur
racers like Cole Henry and Angela Adkins continue
to have more success on the DS 450 like they did
in Virginia; it really shows our Amateur racing
support program is working excellent."
Other racing highlights from the Loretta Lynn
GNCC included Warnert / Can-Am racer Cliff Beasley
easily winning the 4x4 Lites class on his Outlander
500 EFI ATV. In the 4x4 Limited class, Outlander
ATVs swept the top three spots, and comprised
seven of the 11 ATVs entered in the class.
The next GNCC race will be Titan GNCC near Lafayette,
TN on May 2. The next AMA ATV Motocross is near
Walnut, IL on May 2-3. For more information on
