Canard accomplished a lot this weekend. Besides his third overall title in a row, he exorcised some demons in Clark County. In 2008, he broke his leg and lost the rest of his season. He did not race in Washougal last year.
“I had mixed emotions (coming here),” he acknowledged. “I left with some really bad memories. To come out here and have two good motos, just an awesome day.”
The series is off until mid-August, giving Canard time to reflect on the best July of his professional career.
“I’m blown away right now. I’m so happy,” he said.
