Valcourt, Québec (3/19/2015) - S3
Power Sports’ Dustin Jones and Shane Dowden win,
on their first attempt, one of the toughest races
in North America, the legendary Mint 400, on BRP’s
Can-Am Maverick MAX X ds Turbo side-by-side vehicle.
The S3 Power Sports team traveled from Louisiana
to Las Vegas, NV last weekend to compete in the
2015 Best In the Desert Mint 400 with very little
experience racing in the desert. With nearly 50
sideby-side pro class entries, S3 Power Sports
overcame the odds to win one of the most prestigious
and historic desert races in North America on
its Can-Am Maverick MAX X ds Turbo.

“It feels amazing to get the win at the Mint
400! The Maverick MAX X ds Turbo had the reliability
handling and the power to conquer over 480 kilometers
(300 miles) of harsh desert terrain. It was an
absolutely brutal course with big rocks and big
whoops, and we couldn’t be happier with how the
Maverick MAX X ds Turbo performed,” explained
Jones.
The Can-Am Maverick Turbo X ds Turbo model features
the first factory-installed turbo that delivers
121 hp, giving it the clear power advantage with
40% more torque than its closest competitor.

“The Can-Am Maverick X ds Turbo is gaining strong

Sports’ Dustin Jones and Shane Dowden proved it
by winning the challenging Mint 400,’’ said Philippe
Normand, director, Global Marketing, Can-Am off-road.
“We are excited to see the Maverick X ds on top
of the podium and we are looking forward to many
podium finishes in the near future.’’

Pro 4x4 ATV podium at GNCC Round 2 in Washington,
GA last weekend, with Renegade racers Bryan Buckhannon,
Robert Smith and Rick Cecco. In addition, Can-Am
X-Team Maverick X xc racer Treavis Poynter won
the first side-by-side race of the season in the
premier GNCC XC1 Pro UTV Class
