| Arctic Cat Wins Second Consecutive
Quad Terrain Championship
Arctic Cat 4x4s- The Racers Choice when the Terrain Gets Rough
Thief River Falls, MN - The 2007 World Powersports Association National ATV
season is now in the books, and Team Arctic Quad Terrain Racers placed 6
racers in the top 9 spots. Jesse West led the crew to bring home a second
consecutive Arctic Cat championship aboard his 650H1.
Jesse remarked about his results, “I worked really hard to win this QTC
championship, and am terribly proud of this accomplishment. I couldn’t have won
it though without the help of my family and friends in our West Racing trailer as
well as the support from Arctic Cat. Our 650H1s are tough. I hope this second
championship showcases the punishment an Arctic Cat can withstand. I also
want to thank the fans who support us and come out to the races. I’ll do
everything I can to put on a good show for you!”
Standing on the podium in third place, was SPI Racing’s Rory Beckman, while
Josh West, brother of Jesse, took WPSA’s Pro Rookie of the Year honors after
finishing 6th on the season.
The championships and awards didn’t end for Arctic Cat in the ATV division. In the SuperSport UTV class, SPI
Racing’s Kyle Fiebelkorn wrapped up the top season points in his Arctic Cat Prowler XT.
“I couldn’t be much happier with how our season went,” said Arctic Cat Race Manager Ted Bettin. “The collective
effort put forth by the Arctic Cat Factory, as well as our racers and teams, makes this season a success. Speed
may have won holeshots this year, but when over two-thirds of the class picks an Arctic Cat 650H1, you know
what machine is the most durable when the track gets rough!”
So what’s next for Arctic Cat? Bettin says, “We’re going to come back tougher than ever next season. We vowed
that last year and brought home another championship this year. Arctic Cat learns from racing and that transfers
to the consumer, so you can count on our machines being stronger and faster.”
