Right now fans can check on the progress of riders like John Natalie, Josh Frederick, Mike Penland, Chris Bithell and the rest of the Can-Am X-Team racers."
Can-Am XAt www.can-amxteam.com, fans will be able to find content like updated photos and results from the races, as well as racer biographies. In addition to these items, the Web site will contain information on BRP's rich contingency racing program.
BRP Can-Am has several satellite teams racing Can-Am ATVs this year and the Web site allows visitors to see complete team rosters. They are: Team Motoworks, Epic Racing, Warnert Racing, Looney Tuned Exhaust Racing, Mike Penland Racing, Gorilla Racing and all the X-Team riders.
The racing action on the West coast has already seen much success on the WORCS circuit as Josh Frederick has won two rounds in a row on his Team Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450. East coast racing starts March 2 with the Triton GNCC near Melbourne, Florida.
