drove excellently this past weekend to earn the
Motoworks / Can-Am Commander 1000 a victory at
the opener of this highly competitive race series,"

demonstrated with Warnia and his DS 450 victory
as well, the team's preparation and testing has
definitely paid off nd I'm looking forward to
many more victories in what will surely be a very
exciting season."
