March 9, 2010, 7:05pm
Daytona Beach, FL – Trey Canard raced to a 3rd place finish and repeat podium performance in the ninth round of the 2010 AMA Supercross Series at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL
On the traditionally challenging Daytona Speedway track, Canard earned a place on the podium for the Honda Red Bull Racing team for the second week in a row. Canard turned in a 4th place qualifying time early in the day, putting him on pace for a strong race performance. In the second heat race, Canard finished second, giving him a solid gate pick for the main event. Starting off the main event in 4th place, Canard showed consistency throughout the entire race. He put a pass on the 3rd place rider in lap five, a position he held for the remainder of the 20 lap main event, proving his ability to contend with the top riders in the 450 Supercross class.
A GEICO Powersports Honda West Coast Lites rider for the 2010 season, Canard is filling in for the injured Andrew Short in the Supercross class for several races until West Lites action returns on April 24th in Seattle. “It was a great day from practice to the main event - I just had fun and enjoyed it,” said Canard. “I am once again so thankful to Honda Red Bull Racing and GEICO Powersports Honda for the opportunity to keep racing”.
Trey Canard will head to Toronto, Ontario, Canada on March 13th for the tenth round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series and his fourth race in the Supercross class. After only three races, he stands in 17th place in points in the Supercross class. He also maintains second place in overall West Lites class points, a position he will defend upon return to Lites competition.
Canard’s 2010 team title and personal sponsors include: American Honda, Factory Connection Racing, Fox Racing, GEICO Powersports, Red Bull, Kicker Audio, and MYPLASH Visa Cards.
