The team signed 16-year-old Trey Canard to a contract this past winter. Now the young Oklahoman is less then one week away from his professional debut in Millville, Minn. Before he heads to north he still has some unfinished business at the Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals presented by AMSOIL.
The event pits the world's top amateur riders against one another in 33-classes. Canard, who was a perfect 6 for 6 in his two classes in 2006 is poised to repeat his double championship this year.Canard has raced three times as of Thursday at noon. On Tuesday, he finished third in the MX Lites A/Pro Sport class. On Wednesday, he took a second place in the MX Lites A class and this morning, Cenard picked up his first win in the MX Lites A/Pro Stock class.
Canard has taken time from the near 100-degree heat in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. to tell us how his first two days of racing have gone:

If the rain holds off this afternoon, Canard will race his second moto in the MX Lites A class. The overall champion will be an accumulated score of all three moto's in each class. Canard will also race on Friday and Saturday.
Until then, we'll see you at the races,
Jeremy Meyer
AMSOIL Racing Coordinator
