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.
