Valcourt, Canada (3/30/2010) -
Chad Wienen of the Motoworks / Can-Am ATV race team
powered his Can-Am DS 450™ EFI ATV to second
overall in the Pro 450 class at this past weekend's
AMA ATV Motocross Championship opening round near
Pell City, Alabama. His teammate John Natalie narrowly
missed joining Wienen on the podium; he finished
fourth overall. In all, Can-Am racers put three
DS 450 ATVs in the top 10.
"Both Chad and John looked extremely impressive
at this track," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing
Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "We are really
looking forward to the next round as everyone
on the team is confident after seeing the results
from the hard work the team put in during the
off-season on the DS 450 program."
Team BCS Performance / Can-Am racer, Cody Miller,
raced to a tenth-place overall finish on his DS
450 in the Pro class. The third Motoworks racer,
Jeremie Warnia, took eleventh overall in the class
after experiencing sickness before and during
the second moto.
In the amateur classes, Can-Am DS 450 riders
had a great weekend of racing. Mark Gehring took
the Open B overall on his DS 450, winning both
his qualifier and the main race. In the 4-Stroke
B class, Chase Henry took the weekend overall
winning both his races. Chase's brother, Cole
Henry, had a top-10 finish in the Production A
class aboard his DS 450. Merrill Crose narrowly
missed taking the overall in the Vet 30+ class,
while Nicole Gates finished second overall in
the Women's C class.
The next round in the AMA ATV Motocross Chapionship
will be April 17-18 at Ballance Moto X near Bowling
Green, Kentucky. For more information on Can-Am
