BRP Can-Am Returns
as Title Sponsor of ATV GNCC Racing Series
Morgantown, WV (2/13/2008) -
Racer Productions, producers of the Grand National
Cross Country (GNCC) Series, announced today that
BRP Can-Am will return as title sponsor for the
2008 GNCC tour. Can-Am made its debut as GNCC
title sponsor in 2007.
"Can-Am really helped take the GNCC Series
up a notch last year," says GNCC Trail Boss
Jeff Russell. "They supported us on the track
and off, providing great machines and equipment
for our staff and building a variety of fun promotions
for our fans, like demo rides. They also help
fund our GNCC TV program on Versus. We're really
thankful for everything they have done to aid
in the Series' growth."
"GNCC racing brings not only racers together
in the spirit of competition, but friends and
families together as well," says Bernard
Guy, ATV marketing director at BRP. "We are
in the business of fun, and see the GNCC Series
as a way to give back to those who embrace the
lifestyle of off-road recreation."
Look for a variety of 2008 Can-Am ATVs at GNCC
events this season. The entire GNCC track crew
will be outfitted with Outlander ATVs to assist
in course design, maintenance and patrol. Can-Am
also plans to host free riding demos at several
events throughout the season.
"Our customers, just like GNCC faithful,
are enthusiasts and we enjoy the opportunity to
support this gathering," concluded Guy.
The 2008 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series kicks off with the Triton GNCC in Melbourne,
Fla. on March 1-4. ATVs will practice on Saturday,
March 1, and race Sunday, March 2. Bikes will
practice on Monday, March 3, and race Tuesday,
March 4.
