HIBBERT DETERMINED TO SWEEP MINNESOTA'S AIR FORCE NATIONAL

Goodridge, Minn. – Monster Energy/Arctic Cat’s Tucker Hibbert is determined to win both pro finals at this weekend’s AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series (ACSS) Air Force National in Shakopee, Minn. Hibbert’s win streak was derailed at the third stop of the ACSS tour in Utah. After losing his first final in nearly two years, Hibbert says he’s entering this event with new focus and determination.

This weekend marks Hibbert’s sixth pro appearance at Canterbury Park and the venue has proved to be a challenge in the past. Last year was the first time the multi-time national champion swept the pro finals. With his home state fans behind him, he plans to return to his winning ways and put on an unforgettable show.

Following the Air Force National, the Monster Energy/Arctic Cat team will head to Aspen, Colo. for ESPN Winter X Games 14 in hopes of bringing home three gold medals. Hibbert will be racing for a record-breaking, gold medal four-peat in the Snocross event and will step out of the race scene to compete in the all-new Snowmobile Knock Out event. Current Monster Energy/Arctic Cat crewmember, Jeff Tweet, who was paralyzed racing snocross in 2001, will shift his role from a mechanic to a rider to compete in the all-new Adaptive Snocross event.

Air Force National pro racing action begins Friday afternoon with Pro Super Stock qualifying. Opening ceremonies are at 7 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday with pro finals to follow. Visit www.isocracing.com for a full schedule along with more details on the event.

Tucker Hibbert - #68 Monster Energy/Arctic Cat
“After losing the [Pro] open final in Utah, I’m determined to sweep the pro classes this weekend at Canterbury. After the Utah race, I went straight to Colorado to test and ride. We [the team] had some things to work on. We addressed those issues and got in a productive week of testing. I put in a lot of laps and feel stronger than ever. I’m going into the Air Force National with new focus and determination. I consider this event my hometown race and know there are a lot of Monster Energy/Arctic Cat fans in the area. I hope they all show up this weekend because I plan on giving them a performance they won’t forget.”
