BUCHANAN, Mich. (July 3) -- On the strength of his win in the second 250cc moto of the day, GEICO Powersports Honda rider Trey Canard won his class Saturday at the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship RedBud National.
"I'm so, so happy to win that," Canard said. "It's just a relief for me. I'm just so thankful that it happened.
"I was having a real hard time a few weeks ago and my faith, friends and family got me through it."
Canard finished fourth in the first moto and had the same average finish as Dean Wilson, who finished third and second. However, it was Canard's win that made the ultimate difference. The key momenywas Canard's pass of Wilson late in the second moto, which sealed both the moto and overall victory.
"I knew Wilson was riding really hard," Canard said. "I wasn't sure he could keep that pace because he was really pushing it. I just tried to stay calm and make sure I made it through the moto.
"I wanted to make sure I made the pass at the right time. I was a little aggressive, but I needed that for myself. It needed to happen then or not at all."
