Motoworks
rider Josh Fredericks took the Pro class
win by 3 minutes at the final round
of the WORCS Series |
Valcourt, Canada (10/21/2009)
- Team Motoworks / Can-Am took three of the
top four spots in the Pro Class aboard the Can-Am
DS 450™ EFI ATV at the final round of
the 2009 World Off-Road Championship Series
held outside Mesquite, Nevada this past weekend.
Even though Motoworks racer Josh Frederick took
the Pro class win by three minutes, he came
up two points shy of winning his third WORCS
championship in a row. Teammates Jeremie Warnia
and Chad Wienen finished third and fourth respectively.

Motoworks
rider Jeremie Warnia would take a 3rd
place finish in the Pro class |
"We knew it would come
down to this last round of racing to determine
the Pro championship and Josh went out and
did all he could to win that third title,"
Jimmie O'Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs
at BRP. "He knew he had to win this last
round and he did, that's all we could have
asked of him. We are proud of Josh and the
entire Motoworks / Can-Am team, they worked
hard all season long and it shows with two
riders in the top three of the Pro class points."
Frederick was forced to sit out the fifth
round of racing due to multiple injuries sustained
in a nasty crash and he was able to come back
and race in the sixth round despite not being
fully recovered. He finished the season with
three Pro-class wins and was off the podium
only twice this season. Warnia finished the
season with two Pro-class wins.
