Hibbert Captures Milestone Snocross Win
December 21, 2009, 2:58pm
For the first time since March 2008, Hibbert lost a qualifying round. In both pro classes, he struggled with his starts, forcing him to fight through traffic. He appeared to be unaffected by his qualifying efforts as he went on to win the Pro Super Stock final Friday night and the Pro Open final Saturday night. After the Pro Open final, he humbly thanked his crew, family, fans and competitors for his 50th win. Hibbert is looking forward to taking a few days off to spend Christmas with his family. Shortly after Christmas, he will begin testing for ESPN’s Winter X Games 14 where he will be racing for his fourth consecutive gold medal in the snocross event. The ACSS tour resumes in Salt Lake City Jan. 9 at the Rio Tinto Stadium.

“Every win is special but this one [50th win] means a lot to me. There are so many things to be thankful for. I thank God for the strength and ability to race, my crew for working tirelessly and all my sponsors and fans for their unbelievable support. I’ve been racing my entire life and it’s hard at times to stay motivated but these are the moments that keep me pushing forward.
This weekend was tough and I really had to work for my wins. A hand full of guys kept me on my toes. It’s exciting to put on a good show for the fans and I think they really enjoyed the battles this weekend. I plan on taking off a few days to enjoy Christmas with my family then it’s back to training and riding. January is packed with big races. It’s going to be a busy month so I plan on staying focused on my riding and training.”
