Trey Canard Wins San Francisco Supercross

GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda rider Trey Canard rode to victory in the fourth round of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series at AT&T Park in San Francisco, Calif. on Saturday.

Coming off the heels of a strong third place performance at round three in Anaheim just a week earlier, Canard was eager to get back on the track in San Francisco and had his sights set on the win. The AMSOIL rider won the second qualifying heat of the night, placing him in good position for the main event. While he did not capture the Spike Holeshot award, Canard was leading the field by the end of the first lap. He continued to lead for the entire fifteen lap main event to take the win.

The field in the West Lites class is proving to be a competitive one, and Canard showed that he is a true contender for the title. “I am just very thankful” said Canard, “I’m so excited for the team and everyone involved, it was a great night!”

Canard will head to San Diego on February 6 for the fifth round of racing and is now second overall in points, just 16 behind the leader.

Until then, we'll see you at the races.
