Valcourt, Canada (11/12/2008) - A three-man
team consisting of Cliff Beasley, Richard Cecco
and Michael Swift won the Pro Utility class by more
than 15 minutes at the GBC Heartland Challenge endurance
race near Carlisle, Iowa. The team piloted its PIAA
Powersport Can-AmTM OutlanderTM 800R ATV to the
class championship and ninth overall in the gruelling
10-hour race that proved only the toughest utility
ATVs would survive the course.
"Endurance ATV racing is the ultimate test
for both rider and machine," said Del Bohlman,
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "The
three racers all rode a smart race, but the Outlander
proved its durability by beating the next closest
class competitor easily. This is a big win for
Can-Am and proves we have toughest utility ATV
in racing."
The racers will each split a grand prize of $7,500
for the race win, making it the most lucrative
utility-class purse in ATV racing to date. Beasley,
Cecco and Swift are all teammates from the Team
Warnert Racing / Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
race team. Both Swift and Beasley winning the
GNCC 4x4 Limited and 4x4 Lites class respectively.
Cecco took third in the GNCC U2 class with five
class podiums in 2008.
