Can-Am to Sponsor
GNCC Racing Series for Next Three Years
Morgantown, WV (2/25/2010) -
Racer Productions and BRP are excited to announce
the return of Can-Am as title sponsor of the 13-stop
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC)
series for another three years.
"Our relationship with GNCC racing is quite
important for BRP," commented Yves Leduc,
vice president and general manager, North American
division for BRP. "BRP's Can-Am ATV brand
conveys a strong performance and passion message
in the off-road world and we see both those attributes
out on the race course at each Grand National
Cross Country Series event. We are excited to
continue to be a part of the GNCC racer community."
GNCC racing has seen exceptional growth in both
the number of racer entries and fan base during
the past three years with the Can-Am title sponsorship.
From the opening round in Florida to the concluding
race in Indiana, race fans and racers actively
support the series.
"The past three years have seen unprecedented
growth in our sport due in large part to our relationship
with BRP and the Can-Am team," said Jeff
Russell, GNCC Trail Boss. "Can-Am sponsorship
enables us to continue to invest in our series.
Our team has come to depend on BRP's Can-Am ATVs
to build and navigate the course; they are GNCC
tested for sure."
Along with the renewal of BRP's sponsorship through
its Can-Am brand, several new and exciting additions
will be made to the GNCC Sponsor Village as part
of this new agreement. A Can-Am Zone - where fans
and racers can get information and an up-close
view of several Can-Am products - will be available
at each of the 13 rounds. Can-Am also becomes
the feature sponsor of GNCC Live Timing and Scoring
over the Internet. Finally, Can-Am remains the
title sponsor of the Can-Am Unadilla GNCC event
held in New Berlin, N.Y. and will continue to
support RacerTV.
"We are so fortunate to have a title sponsor
that understands the value of having a solid television
broadcast schedule like Can-Am," said Jason
Hooper, Producer of RacerTV. "Without Can-Am,
it would be nearly impossible to get the series
on a network of caliber like VERSUS and into over
50 million homes across the U.S."
In the GNCC Can-Am Zone and a few other select
events this year, fans will get an unprecedented
opportunity to win a 2010 Can-Am OutlanderTM 800R
EFI XTTM ATV given away by Racer Productions.
Fans will soon be able to register online as well,
by participating in a GNCC survey.
The lucky winner will be announced on October
24 during the victory ceremony at the Amsoil Ironman
GNCC, the final round of the 2010 Can-Am GNCC
Racing Series.
The 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series kicks off this weekend as part of Daytona
Bike Week at the Westgate River Ranch Resort in
River Ranch, Florida, with the Parts Unlimited
River Ranch GNCC. ATVs race on Sunday, February
28, and dirt bikes race on Tuesday, March 2.
