Yamaha's Pat Brown Wins 2008 Montreal
Supercross |
Montreal, Canada(9/23/2008)
- Pat Brown won the ATV portion
of the Montreal Supercross last Saturday at
Olympic Stadium. The ITP Tires/Moose Racing
Pro AMA/ATVA National Championship regular
beat out an 18-quad field to win the special
event.
Brown (No. 199 Factory Yamaha) took the
top qualifying spot and came out of the
gate third for the final. Muscling his way
through the field, Brown took the lead on
the first lap and fought off Canadian Greg
Gee (No. 10 Team Epic Can-Am) for the victory.
Harold Goodman (No. 708 American Honda/Houser
Racing Honda) finished third.
Brown said he hopes the victory will lead
to positive results as he heads to the Can-Am
Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) race
this weekend at Unadilla Valley Sports Center
in New York.
"I really like Supercross racing,"
said Brown. "I knew we could win all
year in the ATV Motocross Series, but we
had a lot of bad luck. This win definitely
helps. I'm going to the Unadilla GNCC this
weekend, so hopefully we can carry the momentum
into there."
Brown, one of seven Americans in the field,
was pleased to bring the honor back the
United States.
"It's great," said Brown. "The
guys up there really wanted it. It was really
the only time they got to race the top ATV
riders in the world in front of their home
crowd. Then again, everyone wants to win
every race."
