HIBBERT PREPARED TO DEFEND AMSOIL DULUTH NATIONAL TITLE
Goodridge, Minn. – Monster Energy/Arctic Cat’s Tucker Hibbert is set to defend his title this weekend at the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series’ (ACSS) season opener in Duluth, Minn. Less than ideal conditions pushed back the 18th running of the AMSOIL Duluth National two weeks from its traditional Thanksgiving weekend. Now, with temperatures in the teens and a blanket of snow across the state, the stage is set for an unforgettable kick-off to the ACSS season.Last year, Hibbert swept both pro classes becoming only the second rider in history to do so. He convincingly won his heat races and finals, setting the stage for the remainder of his season. He went on to win every time he and his Monster Energy/Arctic Cat hit the track. With virtually no changes to his race program, he is confident and prepared for another record-breaking season.
Pro racing action begins Saturday at 3 p.m. and continues through Sunday afternoon. If you cannot make it to the event, log on to isocracing.com for a live audio stream and make sure to watch the all new, one-hour VERSUS broadcast Sunday, Jan. 3 at 4 p.m. EST.

Tucker Hibbert #68 – Monster Energy/Arctic Cat
“I’m anxious for the season to start. It’s time to get back to the racetrack. The Monster Energy/Arctic Cat crew has been working around the clock to get my equipment race ready. I was fortunate to log a lot of laps in the mountains and at a couple test facilities in Minnesota. Duluth is always tricky because it’s impossible to know how prepared the competition is until the green flag flies. I’m focused on only worrying about elements that I can control and am confident my entire program is ready for another amazing season.”
