Thief
River Falls,
Minn. – Arctic Cat has announced the
sponsorship of the recently formed USXC (United States X-Country), the premier
cross-country snowmobile racing circuit that will provide a series of terrain
races in the Midwest during the 2012-2013
season.
USXC
owner, Brian Nelson formed the cross country race organization after the USCC
announced it would be ceasing operations for the coming year.
As a
decorated cross country racer, Nelson said, “Cross-country snowmobile racing
has been my life for more than 40 years and during that time there have been
many great people and circuits that provided an outlet for cross-country
racers. Starting USXC is my way to give back to the sport I love and preserve a
quickly growing form of snowmobile racing.”
The USXC series
will consist of six to eight events, including a premier three-day, 500-mile
cross-country race held in Northwestern Minnesota.
Team
Arctic Race Manager, Mike Kloety said, “We are looking forward to running the
USXC events this winter. Brian Nelson has an undeniable passion for cross
country racing and we know he will work tirelessly to grow this segment of
snowmobile racing.”
