Hibbert, sporting the latest in Spy Optic MX goggles, is looking to crack the top ten in the 250 class this weekend at the challenging Budds track
Spy Optic-backed Tucker Hibbert is set to race the final three Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship events starting with Budds Creek (Md.) this weekend. The Monster Energy Triple Crown finale at Budds marks Hibbert’s fourth pro motocross race of the summer and the beginning of a busy month for the multi-sport athlete.
Hibbert hopes to break the top-ten for the first time this weekend in the hotly-contested 250 class. His top finish of the summer was in the first moto at Red Bud, where he finished 13th. He backed that up with a 14th place finish in the second moto at Spring Creek.
“I can’t wait to get back to racing this weekend,” said Hibbert, who runs the Spy Optic Alloy goggles. “My last motocross race was a month ago at Spring Creek, but I’ve stayed busy with riding, training and racing mountain bikes. I did five mountain bike races in the past four weeks. I feel like adding another form of racing to my schedule has im¬proved my overall fitness and mental strength. I hope that by diversifying my racing, I’ll become a better all-around athlete and will be able prolong my racing career.”
Next up for Spy Optic’s motocross racers contesting the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA MX Nationals is round ten of the series at Budds Creek MX Park in Mechanicsville, Md. (Aug. 22).
