Trey Canard Takes Second at Salt Lake City Supercross

Canard Returns to the
Podium and Secures Third Place in Final Points Standings

Salt Lake City, Utah (May 1, 2010) –  In
wintry weather conditions before 38,882 fans, Trey Canard took home second place
in the sixteenth round of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series at
Rice-Eccles Stadium. 

On Saturday, Canard posted 3rd place in timed qualifying
early in the day, and 2nd place in the second heat race of the night.  In the 15-lap main event Canard started off in 7^th
place, but worked his way through the field to move up to 4^th place
by lap four.  Canard was in 3rd place by
the mid-point of the race, and finally in the second to last lap, made his move
for 2^nd place and held strong to the finish to land a spot on the
podium for the GEICO Powersports Honda team.

The sloppy weather made it a difficult race for many riders,
but Canard showed strength and consistency in Salt Lake, “This is the
first ever snow Supercross I’ve been a part of – it was
crazy!” said Canard.  “Even though the weather wasn’t
good, I felt great all night and am happy to end the season on a high note
– I’m ready for Vegas!”

Trey Canard returns to
competition to battle for the East/West Lites Shootout crown May 8^th
at the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross finals in Las Vegas.  Canard
finished third in overall West Lites class points for 2010 with 153 points.
Canard will make his highly anticipated move to the 450 Supercross class in
2011 after an impressive six-race run filling in for Honda Red Bull Racing
while Andrew Short was sidelined with an injury. Canard landed a spot on the
podium at five of his six Supercross class races and exceeded many
expectations.

Canard’s 2010 team title
and personal sponsors include: GEICO Powersports, Honda, Factory
Connection Racing, Fox Racing, Kicker, and MYPLASH Visa.
