Tucker Hibbert to race the Indiana Ironman Pro Motocross National

Snowmobile snocross champion Tucker Hibbert will line-up against the world’s best motocross racers Saturday, August 22, 2015, at the Pro Motocross Championship’s Ironman National in Crawfordsville, Indiana. It will mark the crossover athlete’s one and only pro motocross event of the summer.

No stranger to two wheels, Hibbert has raced both snocross and motocross at a professional level since 2000. Early in his career, he took a brief break from snocross to add being a top-10 supercross rider to his long list of accomplishments. Now, with his focus back on snocross, he’s won an unprecedented 108 pro national events, 13 X Games medals, nine national titles and two world championships.

Hibbert had five pro motocross events on his schedule this summer but an ankle injury sustained in June sidelined him from racing until now.

“This summer didn’t play out how I hoped but I’m healthy and ready to race,” said Hibbert. “I made the switch to KTM and felt comfortable on the bike right away. Early June, I knew I was ready to race so I signed up for Budds Creek. A couple days later, I came up short on a big jump and broke my ankle. It was a bummer but I knew if I worked hard I could still get in at least one national before the end of the summer.”

He added, “This will be my first time at Indiana so I don’t know what to expect. I feel good but since I haven’t been racing this summer, it’s hard to set any goals. I’m focused on doing my best and having some fun.”

Look for Hibbert at the Ironman National on the No. 685 KTM in the 450-class. Racing action from Indiana will be streamed live on the pro motocross championship website. Additionally, fans can watch the first motos on MavTV from 1 to 3 p.m. ET and the second motos on NBCSN beginning at 11:30 p.m. ET.
