Valcourt, Québec, March 29, 2010 – Chad
Wienen of the Motoworks / Can-Am ATV race team
powered his Can-Am DS 450™ EFI ATV to second overall in the Pro 450 class at
this past weekend's AMA ATV Motocross Championship opening round near Pell

narrowly missed joining Wienen on the podium; he finished fourth overall. In
all, Can-Am racers put three DS 450 ATVs in the top 10.
"Both Chad and John looked extremely
impressive at this track," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am
ATVs at BRP. "We are really looking forward to the next round as everyone
on the team is confident after seeing the results from the hard work the team
put in during the off-season on the DS 450 program."
Team BCS Performance / Can-Am racer, Cody
Miller, raced to a tenth-place overall finish on
his DS 450 in the Pro class. The third Motoworks racer, Jeremie Warnia, took eleventh overall in the class after experiencing sickness
before and during the second moto.
