"Racing has been a strong cornerstone of Arctic Cat's heritage and brand. An arena we have consistently used for testing and development.

Defending his ISOC Pro Points Championship Title, Tucker Hibbert will race the full season aboard the all-new 2012 Sno Pro 600 as well as compete for his sixth-consecutive ESPN Winter X Games gold medal.

Arctic Cat CEO Claude Jordan stated, "Our talented engineers have built our best Sno Pro race sled to date, and that says a lot considering we won every major race or championship title last season.
