Valcourt, Canada (4/23/2008) -Team
Warnert / Can-AmTM racer John Natalie powered his
DS 450TM ATV to a successful race win at the ATV
Bluegrass Nationals at Ballance Moto X near Bowling
Green, Ky. With the moto win, Natalie overcame a
first-moto crash to claim sixth overall.
"Only John Natalie could come back from
a nasty first-moto crash and win the second moto,"
said Del Bohlman, Product, Media Relation and
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "They
don't call him the 'Ironman' for nothing; we are
proud of his excellent performance for the weekend
and can't wait to see his next race on the DS
450."

in moto 1, John Natalie came back and
won the second Moto

In the first moto, Natalie took the holeshot
and was leading the rest of the field when he
crashed hard and was shaken up. In qualifying,
Natalie also had the second-fastest practice lap
of the weekend. Natalie's teammate, Cody Miller,
battled hard the entire first moto and took fifth.
Sage Baker of Team Epic Racing/Can-Am looked
fast in qualifying as he had the fifth-fastest
practice lap. A flat-tire in the first moto ended
his chances at a top-five overall finish, but
Baker managed to salvage tenth overall when he
took sixth in the second moto on a DS 450 ATV.
Can-Am support rider, Richard Pelchat, took fifth
in the second moto and finished ninth overall
for an impressive weekend on his DS 450.
John Natalie:
"It felt good to win the second moto. I knew
we were capable of it, and I know it’s going
to be great from now on. I was just happy to give
everyone on the team and back at the BRP Can-Am
factory their first moto win of the season."

I’m going to be concentrating on training

Tour."
