MORE Afternoon Moto News - Trey Canard & AMA Arenacross

On the Honda AMA Supercross team, GEICO Powersports Honda West Series Lites rider Trey Canard will fill in for Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short at select Supercross races. Short was injured at the San Diego round and will be out for at least six weeks. So, Canard's experience and close ties to the team allowed him to take the available seat on the CRF450R. So many injuries now...Let's wish Canard Good Luck!

Tyler Bowers has six victories in eight races, with five of them consecutive, in the 2010 AMA Arenacross series. His Kawasaki has been rock solid through the five rounds so far (some are double-headers) and will be in fine shape for the next round in Youngstown, Ohio, in Covellie Centre. Barrows is the man to beat in the premier class, but there are three local guys who will give him a very hard time at this round...

The USGPRU has announced that they are raising the value of the race purse for the 2010 season. They are doing this to encourage more people to participate in the series. With the economy only slowly recovering, they needed to do something to keep the competitors interested in participating. It should go a long way to improve the racing and should help to bring in the crowds!

However, in this article, we hear from Short about his injury - how, why, etc. - and when he expects to return to racing.

Over US$20,000 Raised for Breast Cancer at Steel City MX

They did very well at Steel City last weekend - no, not the racers, they did well too, but I am speaking of the people who attended the event and raised in excess of US$20,000 for breast cancer research. I hope that this will encourage other race series and motocross venues to do the same. Together, we can work for the cure!
