Modeled after the best attributes of auto racing
and other powersports, the Warnert team designed
specially made rigs for their snowmobile teams and
hired full time mechanics and support staff. This
level of professionalism, being a first in the industry,
earned them the attention and respect they were
looking for and soon led them to partnering with
sponsors outside of the industry as well as teaming
up with Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP).
With the support of those sponsors, the Warnert
Racing team went on to take three national snocross
championships and five Winter X-Games medals.

Due to the team’s unmatched success and
professionalism, in 2006, BRP approached the Warnert’s
with the idea of taking on an ATV racing team.
“We have been affiliated with Can-Am/BRP
for a long time and in 2006 they approached us
about putting together a Utility ATV race team,”
explained Mark Warnert.

The Warnert’s accepted Can-Am/BRP’s
offer and applied what they had learned while
working with the snow teams to their new GNCC
ATV team. “Things just evolved from there.
We wanted to mimic what we had done with the snowmobiles
and carry that success on through the ATV program,”
stated Mark, whose teams now boast nine national
ATV championships and over 109 event wins.
