Polaris continues to aggressively pursue the sport of pro snocross with the announcement of its biggest, most concentrated factory backed racing effort since the 1970’s.
Shaun Crapo is leaving the Arctic Cat camp to join the Amzoil Scheuring Speed Sports organization. He will team with veteran Pro DJ Eckstrom.
The Cycle Worx Race Team based out of Johnsville, New York will campaign Quebec native and former Ski-Doo pilot Danny Poirier on the Rock Maple Racing circuit.
Team Hentges – led by Nate Hentges and backed up by notable racing veterans and savvy Team Managers Todd Wolfe and Tim Bender, have usurped the former TEAM Industries Polaris backed snocross team.
In a surprising move, giant OEM vendor, TEAM Industries (they make the benchmark Rapid Reaction secondary used by AC, Polaris and Ski-Doo as well as a ji-normous pile of ATV components for everyone from Honda to Polaris), pulled its sponsorship from WPSA snocross.
Polaris wisely chose to combine the current roster of successful and talented racers encamped under the TEAM banner into Hentges Racing. TJ Gulla and Levi LaVallee will race WPSA Pro while Brett Bender, Chris Kafka, Johnny Hentges and Bobby Lepage will campaign in WPSA Semi-Pro.
