Polaris recently announced the Hentges and Judnick rosters for the Pro and Semi-Pro snocross teams featuring TJ Gulla and Levi LaVallee. Polaris also announced that Schuering Speed Sports will have Pro racers Robbie Malinoski and Andrew Johnstad in their camp.
"These moves strengthen the Polaris racing program and position us to maintain our winning momentum heading into next winter" said Polaris Racing Manager Tom Rager, Sr. "The alliance between Hentges and Judnick should improve both teams and the Scheuring team has signed two racers with bright futures."
Scheuring Speed Sports owner Stever Scheuring said, "This is a very exciting time for Scheuring Speed Sports and our sponsors. Robbie has multiple championships in both Pro and Semi-Pro and will be in the hunt for the championships this year on our 2010 Polaris IQ snocross sleds."
