Hibbert to race FIM Snowcross World Championship in Russia as planned

Feb 21, 2012

Monster Energy/Arctic Cat’s Tucker Hibbert will indeed travel to Russia to compete in the FIM Snowcross World Championship as originally planned.

The ISOC AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series recently rescheduled New York’s Eastern National for February 24 and 25, which is the same weekend as the World Championship in Russia.

Hibbert, who is the defending ISOC ACSS National Pro Open Champion, had plans to race the full eight-stop ISOC ACSS tour along with the World Championship in Russia and Sweden’s Clash of Nations the end of March.

“It’s unfortunate that the New York event and the World Championship will now happen the same weekend," said Hibbert. "For the amount of time and resources myself, sponsors and crew have invested in this season we have to move forward with our schedule as planned, which includes racing the World Championship in Russia.”
