Trey Canard to Represent USA at Motocross of Nations

GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda rider Trey Canard was named to AMA Team USA for the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short will join him in representing the USA at the September 25-26 race at Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, Colo.

Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is one of the highest profile motorsports events in the world and has run consecutively for more than 60 years. MXoN features teams competing by nationality to earn combined scores, which determine the overall winning team. Team USA has the strongest track record of any country at Motocross of Nations, with 20 wins to their credit.
“It’s such a huge honor to be selected for Motocross of Nations” said Canard, “I’m so thankful to be able to represent the USA with Ryan and Andrew – they’ve done some great racing this year and I’m looking forward to working with them and giving it my all!”
Canard will race the MX2 class for Team USA aboard his AMSOIL sponsored Honda CRF250R, while Dungey will race the MX1 class, and Short the MX3 open class.
Canard will go for his fifth overall win a row at the next round of the AMA Outdoor Nationals in Southwick, Mass. on August 28.
Until then, we’ll see you at the races.

Tomac Captures Win at First Pro Race

Tomac Captures Win at First Pro Race

The opening round of the 2010 AMA Motocross season at the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento, Calif. marked Team AMSOIL Lites rookie Eli Tomac’s professional debut. Although the 16-year-old had experienced plenty of success at the amateur level, no one expected him to secure a top finish in his very first pro race. However, Tomac proceeded to take a very strong third in the first moto. The second moto was even more impressive as Tomac took advantage of a strong start and quickly passed the two riders in front of him, including teammate Trey Canard, to take the lead, cruise to the win and earn the overall victory for the weekend. Teammate Canard took the third place podium, while Justin Barcia finished fifth and Blake Wharton took 16th. Team AMSOIL racer Brett Metcalfe finished fourth in the 450 class.

"This goes beyond anything I could have hoped for," Tomac said. "We came in here not really knowing what to expect. You hope you’ll match up with everyone, but until you get out there in a real race you never know. To win this race, my first with this team, is really something."
