Tucker Hibbert to Race Super Snowcross at Swedens Clash of Nations
Hibbert Set to Race Clash of Nations
Hibbert is no stranger to competing in Sweden. Two years ago, in his first race outside of North America, he traveled to Mala to enter his first FIM Snowcross World Championship event. He was welcomed by thousands of fans and went on to win the title. He quickly learned that Sweden is stacked with snowmobile enthusiasts and knew he had to return.
Europes top action sports athletes along with select North Americans are expected to attend the second annual Clash of Nations. Lugnet is a world-class sporting complex where 58 of the 67 Swedish Sports Confederations activities can be practiced. The arena has seating for up to 30,000 spectators and is located 200 km northwest of Stockholm.
Clash of Nations will mark Hibberts final snocross event of the 2011/2012 season. Until then, he will compete in five ISOC National Snocross events across the U.S. and the FIM Snowcross World Championship in Russia. To stay connected with his racing adventures, visit www.tucker-hibbert.com.

Im really excited about going to Sweden for Clash of Nations. I havent been back to Sweden since the World Championship in 2010. It was an awesome country to race at and visit. I was surprised by the excitement of the fans and amount of support I had there. I felt so welcomed and knew I had to find a way to go back.
Clash of Nations should be a really cool event. It sounds like Lugnet is a quality venue and will be perfect for spectators to watch racing. With all the different events going on, I think itll be a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
We (the team) have a crazy schedule between now and Clash of Nations but were ready. Ill race five big events in a row with two of them out of the country. Itll be busy but exciting at the same time. Itll be cool to end my season in Sweden. Hopefully well find the same support and success we had there in 2010!
