Valcourt, Québec, December 11, 2014 –BRP’s Can-Am ATV and side-by-side racers earned a record number of wins and championships across North America in 2014.

“It was a great year winning the GNCC XC1 overall championship. I’m proud to be a part of such a historic season,†said Chaney. “The Can-Am Maverick vehicle comes off the showroom floor pretty much ready to race, and the new Maverick X ds Turbo model with the first factory-installed turbocharger will change the game.â€

Whether it’s the powerful and precise configuration of the Maverick 1000R side-by-side or the impressive and aggressive makeup of the Renegade line-up, Can-Am vehicles are built for those seeking to reach the podium.

“The racing community chooses the Can-Am brand because our vehicles offer industry-leading performance and unmatched dynamics. Our historic season gives us momentum for the upcoming season and undoubtedly reinforces our message that the ride says it all,†said Philippe Normand, director, Global Marketing, Can-Am off-road.

Wow, not even a word congratulating Burnett for the SCORE wins.

I agree, his name is conspicuously absent.

Ouch. Somebody's bitter!
It's funny that we didn't receive much mention throughout the season in the racing videos department, as they were sponsored by our competition. Now that we won the championship, we are yet again left out of the accolades. I gotta have a tee shirt printed up that says, "Rodney Dangerfield Racing"

The coveted desert championship that has eluded Can-am is now a reality, and cost them very little to obtain. We never asked for, nor expected preferential treatment. Equal treatment would have sufficed. They can't be surprised that Marc didn't re-sign. Given what we have learned over the last 2 seasons, I was looking forward to reinventing the Monster Mav, and competing with a UTE more equally matched to the competition. Now, Marc is on a mission to again prove the viability of our new package, and I'm starting from scratch to supply him with fast and reliable equipment to reach that goal. It could be a rough start, but then again, it might just turn out ok.........
