Tucker Hibbert Retires From Snocross Racing

May 18, 2018 by NHSA

Tucker Hibbert races at West Yellowstone in 1996.

After 25 years of chasing checkered flags in snowmobile competition, Tucker Hibbert announced that he’s reached the finish line of his remarkable racing career. The 33-year-old from Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, is now officially retired as a professional snocross racer.

“It’s time for me to retire from professional snocross racing,” Hibbert said. “It’s been a great career and now is the right time to move on. I’m healthy and happy. I’ve accomplished my goals, which were to do my best and enjoy the process of working hard with the people around me. We just finished a great season where I felt as good as I ever have and won my 11thChampionship.”

Tucker Hibbert’s Racing Career

Reflecting on his career, he added, “I’ve dedicated a huge part of my life to racing snowmobiles. I’m thankful for the lessons and experiences that racing provided me over the years. It’s been an incredible ride.”

Tucker Hibbert has 138 pro snocross wins to his name.
Already the all-time leader in Pro snocross wins, Tucker Hibbert began the 2015 season with a shot at taking his 100th career Pro win early in the season. He came up short of notching the big win at events in Fargo, North Dakota, and Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minn., and brought a fiery determination to the fourth round in Deadwood, South Dakota. When he suffered a crash in the first turn on the opening lap of the Deadwood final, the 100th win again looked out of reach. But then Tucker delivered what many consider one of the all-time great come-from-behind charges, going from last to first in 22 laps to take the win and set another record. Photo by: John Hanson.

Tucker Hibbert Retires From Snocross Racing

Hibbert leaves the sport as the most decorated racer in snocross history. He began racing snowmobiles as an amateur at age 8, won his first X Games gold medal at 15 and turned professional at age 16. In his 18 years as a professional snocross racer, Hibbert won 138 of the 235 Pro National events he entered in addition to 11 Pro Championship titles, 10 X Games gold medals and two World Championship titles.

Hibbert’s storied career is a testament to the talent, determination and hard work of his own as well as those who were integral to Team 68 over the years.

“Working hard, as a team, has been the most rewarding part of racing,” Hibbert said. “There are so many amazing people who have played a role in my career. I’ve been fortunate to work with some extremely talented, dedicated and all-around good people. I’ll cherish the memories we’ve all made together for the rest of my life.”

The team’s success was also the result of the support given by key sponsors. “I’m proud of the relationships we’ve built with the brands that have supported me,” he said. “Many of them were career long sponsors and that’s something I’m really thankful for.”

Hibbert also credits his fans, saying: “I’m blessed to have met a lot of great people through racing. Their energy and excitement helped push me to do my best. I truly thank all of them for their passion and support.”

Hibbert’s retirement from professional snocross is effective immediately. He is currently working on event opportunities at which he can personally thank his fans, sponsors and the snowmobile racing community for their contribution to his career.
