p>Whistler, B-C September 23, 2005 - Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) has assembled an all-star ATV racing team to compete on the industry's hottest quad, the 2006 Bombardier*ATV OutlanderTM 800H.O. EFI V-Twin. Epic Racing/Team Golden West will campaign two teams to take on the SCORE Baja 1000. Separately, Mike Penland will compete in the Grand National Cross-Country (GNCC) Utility Stock class. Scott Kilby will compete in the GNCC Utility Modified class.

This is BRP's first effort at racing in North America in the Utility classes. In Europe, BRP teams have won the Baja 1000 and the Baja 2000 races with a DSTM 650 sport quad.

"When you've got the ATV with the most horsepower, you've got to race it to show everyone what it's got," said Pierre Arsenault, BRP Vice President and General Manager Snowmobiles, Watercraft, ATVs and Sport Boats. "Just like in our other forms of racing, we are partnering with teams and racers that are the best in the business, proven winners. We are looking forward to seeing these pros show the world that the Outlander 800 H.O. is the highest performance Utility ATV you can buy."

Two teams of four Epic Racing/Team Golden West riders will be hitting the desert to take on the Baja 1000. Team 1 includes Doug Eichner, John Gregory, Marc Spaeth and Dustin Nelson. Team 2 includes Greg Row, Allen White, Tony Baker, Ryan Wheeler. All are accomplished ATV riders, with numerous wins and championships. Most notable, Greg Row won the Baja 2000 in 2000 riding the Bombardier* ATV DS650 in its first competitive event. Jimmy Stephenson was also part of this winning team. Doug Eichner has been the Best in the Desert champion twice and a S.C.O.R.E champion twice.

Penland is one of the most accomplished ATV drivers in the sport's history. The veteran has won 11 National GNCC Utility 4x4 class Championships, and is the current defending champion. In his 15-year career, he has more than 150 GNCC wins. Penland is sponsored are: Maxxis, ATV Direct, Durhamtown Plantation, HMF Exhaust, Klotz Lubricants, Outerwears.
