Valcourt, Quebec, May 9, 2008 - Team Motoworks / Can-AmTM racer Brandon Smith looked impressive as he passed several riders to take the weekend win at the recent ITP Quadcross race near Adelanto, Calif. The rider had a mid-pack start, but quickly caught and passed the race leader in fine fashion. His teammate, Josh Frederick, was able to secure third place, putting two Can-Am DS 450TM race ATVs on the podium for the weekend.
"The entire Team Motoworks effort continues to look impressive," said Del Bohlman, Product, Media Relation and Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "Each week they prove they are ready to compete and win at any level."
Team Motoworks / Can-Am amateur racer, Dillon Zimmerman, had a mixed weekend of racing. In the 265-450 Expert class, he took third overall for the weekend. However, in the 91-450 Four-Stroke Expert class, after winning the first race easily aboard his DS 450, a second-race crash took away his chances of winning that class.
Brandon Smith
"I'm really happy; this is my first Pro Quadcross win. It feels really good to have a win under my belt! I really didn't expect the win. I crashed last week and am not quite at 100% yet, but I'm looking forward to the next round when I will be completely healed and ready to try for another win."
Johnny Leach (team owner)
"The Can-Am bikes ran great all weekend and the guys did a fantastic job out there. We had a really good weekend of racing. This is our third race in a row with zero failures so we are pretty happy to have all the bugs worked out." The next ITP Quadcross race is on June 22, at Speedworld track near Surprise, Ariz. The main races will be held under the lights Saturday night. Visit www.can-amxteam.com for more details and race results.
