Valcourt, Canada (8/2/2010) - Team
Motoworks / Can-Am now has two Pro-class overall
wins in the past three rounds of the AMA ATV Motocross
National series after Chad Wienen raced his Can-Am
DS 450 ATV to a win at Red Bud near Buchanan, MI
this past weekend. This is the first overall win
of the year for Wienen and his first on the Can-Am
DS 450. In all, there were four Can-Am DS 450 ATVs
in the top 10 Pro-class finishing spots.
"Chad went into the weekend with confidence
in himself and his Can-Am machine, as he went
out and had fun racing on one of his favorite
tracks on the circuit," says Jimmie O'Dell,
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "The
entire team worked extremely hard all weekend
to put him in the position for this win. Everyone
at BRP is very proud of him and it's exciting
to see Chad earn his first national win on the
DS 450."
Wienen set the pace early on when he pulled the
fastest qualifying time during Saturday's final
practice session and earned the fast qualifier
award on Sunday morning. In the first moto, he
was fifth out of the holeshot and quickly passed
his way to third, but ran out of time to advance
farther in the moto. In the second moto, however,
he quickly passed for the lead and pulled the
fastest lap of anyone during the weekend.

Can-Am racer Chad Wienen went 3-1 on Sunday's
Pro motos to take the overall at Red Bud |
“Red Bud is my favourite track so I came out here to have fun and I am really
excited to take the win. It’s a really great
accomplishment and I am glad to be able to give
it my best. I have to thank all my sponsors, including
Can-Am and Motoworks for helping me make it happen,"
said Wienen. "I felt really good at qualifiers
and my quad was running great. I was pretty happy
about getting the fastest time.”
In the amateur classes, Cole Henry, swept the
Production A races on his Can-Am DS 450 going
1-1 for the weekend overall in the class. This
gives him the Production A class championship
for the year with one round still left to go in
the season.
“It probably won’t sink in until
later on, but I wrapped up the Production A Championship
with this win today, so I am really stoked about
that." Said Cole Henry "I‘ve been
working hard all season and it has finally paid
off.”
The final round in the AMA ATV Motocross Championship
will be August 14-15 at Loretta Lynn's near Hurricane
Mills, TN. For more information on Can-Am racing,
