Canard Sweeps at Washougal, Wins Third Straight Overall Title

Chris Pourcel may be the 250cc class points leader in the AMA Outdoor Nationals, but Team AMSOIL rider Trey Canard has been busy closing the gap the past three weekends.

At last weekends race in Washougal, Canard came out of the gates in a hurry. He grabbed the hole shot in the first moto and extended a sizeable lead en routhe to his second straight moto win and set himself up for his third straight overall.

In the second moto, Canard once again grabbed the hole shot. While Pourcel was able to move up to second, he never got close to Canard. The Oklahoma-native celebrated his second win of the weekend and now has the most overall wins in the 250 class this year and sits second in the season long points race.

Up next for the Geico Powersports/AMSOIL team will be round 9 at Unadilla (N.Y.).

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