and returning to the Montreal Olympic Stadium after a five-year hiatus on
September 15th, the Canadian marque

rider Dylan Wright will also be competing on his CRF250R and working towards a
podium finish in his first Montreal Supercross event.
With the Canadian
National MX Championship now nicely tucked away, Facciotto is looking forward
to his next big goal, taking the Canadian National Triple Crown Championship
title. With this in mind, he will be
working to use this first event to take the lead in that overall championship
title. Currently sitting in second place and separated by only two points going
in Saturday’s event, Colton is sure to be focused and ready, come race day.
“Racing is in our
DNA, so we are thrilled to share this passion with so many motorcycle
enthusiasts by supporting the Montreal Supercross event,” said Jean Marc
Leclerc, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Honda Canada Inc. “The
calibre of talent that the Honda GDR Fox race team have supported including
five-time champion, Colton Facciotti andthe up and coming Dylan Wright in his 2nd year aboard the CRF250R, seems to be the
perfect formula for what’s sure to be an exciting race day.”

of dirt bikes for fans to interact with. For those who want to meet with the
