Husqvarna and Josh Strang have come to terms on a two-year deal, the brand announced today. The deal will see Strang contest the 2015 Grand National Cross Country Series as well as the National Enduro Series on a FC 450.
"I have been a Husky guy ever since I could remember," Strang said in a statement. "My dad used to race them and that is all I ever wanted to ride! Joining Husqvarna really brings back memories, and puts a lot of excitement back into my racing program."
Strang, who won the 2010 XC1 GNCC Championship, won his first race since 2011 at the Powerline Park GNCC this year.
"I am confident that Husqvarna can give me everything I need to win another GNCC Championship," Strang commented. "I'm really happy with this decision and can't wait to get things rolling!"
Team manager Timmy Weigand added: "I'm excited about the opportunity Strang brings to the team on the GNCC front. He has a lot of experience with fourteen career wins and a championship under his belt. We are confident that with Husqvarna Factory Racing behind him, Josh will be on top again in 2015."
Husqvarna is expected to release their entire 2015 off-road team in the coming weeks.
