Now that the first snowfall has officially occurred in many places, sled enthusiasts are revving up for another winter of hitting the trails. Of course, that can only mean one thing. The 2024 to 2025 AMSOIL Championship Snocross season is right around the corner, and it’s already shaping up to be epic.

Last season went down to the wire while giving fans action-packed excitement at every event. Fans, teams, and racers are building off the massive momentum from last year to deliver another great season. The racers are eager to start their engines thanks to the amazing fans, teams, and sponsors.

If there are any remaining question marks regarding the competitive classes, please check out this preview of what to watch within each class this year. Each class also has a sponsor, so take a moment to get to know them. We are all grateful for the sponsors who are helping make this season a huge success.

Here is a breakdown of the different Snocross classes and class sponsors for the upcoming season:

Sponsored by ROX Speed FX, the Stock 200 class remains very popular and competitive. ROX Speed FX is a leading performance snowmobile parts manufacturer that combines its expertise and passion for sled innovation through the lens of enthusiasts. 

Throughout the 2023/2024 Snocross season, over 99 different drivers hit the track in the Stock 200 class. Jack Gelinas rode his #680 sled to 10 podium finishes, finishing in first place seven times. That was enough to capture the Stock 200 Championship by over 200 points.

As Gelinas moves up and out of the ROX 200 class for the 2024/2025 season who will step up and capture the top spot?

Also sponsored by ROX Speed FX, the 120 Champ class sees the return of two of its most successful racers from the 2023/24 campaign. Kody Krantz and Henry Dillon are back in the Rox 120 Champ class this year. Krantz finished second, while Dillon placed third in the 2023/24 points championship.

Will one of those two sledders rise to the top of the ROX 120 Champ class, or will there be a new contender who emerges to take the throne? Keep your eyes tuned into this class to find out.

Speedwerx, a leading manufacturer of performance snowmobile parts, is sponsoring the Transition 8-to-10-year-old class. With the ongoing commitment from Speedwerx dedicated to supporting ambitious junior riders in developing their racing talent, Snocross is very grateful for this partnership.

Last season, Tripp Knudson swept a total of four weekends, three being back-to-back. That’s impressive racing. Will a rider be able to top that in the Speedwerx Transition 8-10 class this year? These young sledders are getting better and better every year.

The 1911 Beef Transition 9-to-13-year-old class is evidence of the rising popularity of Snocross racing. Throughout the 2023/24 season, 54 different racers hit the tracks in the Transition 9-13 division. Guess what? Even more riders are competing in the class this year, with many racers aging up to the division. The future of Snocross racing looks brighter than ever!

If you are in the market for premium 100% Angus beef from hand-selected American cattle ranches, look no further than 1911 Beef. All their beef is 100% Angus from some of the best Texas-raised cattle in the business. After all, sledding always works up an appetite. You might as well satisfy it with a delicious steak dinner.

As a multi-discipline, internationally ranked motorsports race team, Woodies Racing is already a well-known name throughout Snocross. Their sponsorship for the Woodies Racing Junior Girls 9-13 class is helping Snocross take the sport to new heights. This class is competitive and exciting to watch for fans.

Avery Hemmer and Victoria Dillon achieved a podium finish at every event last season. Do you know how difficult it is to do that? It takes skill, determination, and laser-like focus.

Although Dillon is moving on to the Pro AM Women class this season, Hemmer remains in the Junior Girls class and will attempt to claim another Jr. Girls 9-to-13-year-old class Championship. Or, will there be another girl who emerges to contend? When it comes to Snocross racing, anything can happen!

Snocross welcomes a new partnership for the Pete Transport Junior 10-13 class this season. Pete Transport LLC began with a single truck 20 years ago and turned it into a large, successful fleet throughout the Midwest. The owners of Pete Transport, Shonda and Brian Pete, are avid snowmobilers and are excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth of Snocross racing.

Last year, Tavin Knudson won 11 out of 14 of his heat races. Will he repeat that kind of dominant performance as he moves up classes? Many fresh faces are entering the Pete Transport Junior 10-13 class this season it will be interesting to see who takes hold of the class. 

Racers want to win every single race, but winning isn’t easy. The next generation of racers will eye the crown, while the seasoned 10-to-13-year-old sledders will be ready to show them a thing or two.

As your one-stop shop for all your recreational needs, Hayward Power Sports is conveniently located 10 miles east of Hayward, Wisconsin, on Highway 77. For 25 years and counting, Hayward Power Sports continues to be the leading dealership for sales, parts, service, and rentals in Northwest WI.

They have also been longtime cherished partners with ISOC Snocross, providing fantastic support to promote the growth of snowmobile racing. That’s why they are returning to sponsor the Hayward Power Sports Junior 14-to-15-year-old class for the 2024/25 season.

Brothers AJ and Wyatt Skogquist first landed on the podium together in 2020. Last season, they shared the podium five times while racing to a first- and second-place finish in the points Championship. Who will emerge to make their own mark in history throughout the 2024/25 Hayward Power Sports Junior 14-15 class campaign?

Pflipsen Trucking offers professional freight service to the greater Melrose, Minnesota area. Since its establishment in 2004, Pflipsen Trucking has grown its fleet to over 20 semi-trucks with dozens of specialized trailers capable of handling all your local or long-distance freight hauling needs.

They also share a passion for Snocross racing and are sponsoring the Pflipsen Trucking Sport Lite class this season. Remember, the top five placements in the previous season’s points Championship must move up to the Sport class this year. As a result, there are going to be fresh faces competing for the top spots in the Pflipsen Trucking Sport Lite class.

Jimmy Stanisich is moving up from the Junior/Transition classes into the Sport Lite class. With the support of Scheuring Speed Sports, Stanisich is generating plenty of buzz as he looks to be a top contender throughout the 2024/25 season.

FXR Racing is no stranger to snowmobile enthusiasts around the world. From visiting the FXR Factory Outlet Store in Forest Lake, Minnesota, to seeing pro riders decked out in FXR swag, their gear is everywhere. They are also sponsoring the FXR Sport class this year.

As previously mentioned, the top five racers from last season’s Sport Lite Championship automatically move up into the FXR Sport Class. Those five racers are Trenton Hilmerson, Lawrence Eeg, Shade Meyer, Kamden Duffy, and Caiden Pflipsen.

Will one of the new kids on the block emerge as a contender for the division, or will it be a seasoned veteran? The only way to find out is by catching the 2024/25 Snocross action.

Bikeman Performance has been helping sledders squeeze more power out of their snowmobiles for years. Bikeman offers aftermarket performance solutions for Polaris, Ski-Doo, and Arctic Cat sleds, among other things. They don’t stop at helping you get the most out of your sled; they also do a lot to promote the growth of Snocross.

One way they achieve this is by sponsoring the Bikeman Pro AM Women class for the 2024/25 Snocross season. As one of the most competitive divisions in the sport, this class is full of non-stop, edge-of-your-seat action.

Malene Cottew is hunting for her fifth Pro Am Women Championship this season, but the rest of the class is not going down without a fight. Inanna Hauger of Hemmer Motorsports will also return to battle for the Championship. Who will emerge with the crown this season?

Thomas Sno Sports is a family-owned Arctic Cat dealership that buys or sells new and used snowmobiles, ATVs, and SxS vehicles. Located in Ogilvie, Minnesota, Thomas Sno Sports has been around since 1988, with roots dating back to 1965.

As sponsors of the Thomas Sno Sport Pro AM Plus 30 class, their unwavering commitment to snowmobile racing continues to inspire new generations to hop on a sled. Keep your eyes on former Pro class racer Corin Todd this season. Todd is returning for his second season in Pro AM Plus 30 after winning the Championship last season. Will he pull off a back-to-back Championship, or will someone else emerge to claim it from him?

Anderson’s Maple Syrup is delicious, nutritious, and a great natural energy source for Snocross racers. Over the summer, Snocross formed a new partnership with Anderson’s Maple Syrup for the upcoming season. This awesome sponsorship led to new naming rights for the Pro Lite division: Anderson’s Maple Syrup Pro Lite class.

Crayden Dillon, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, is returning to fight for his second Pro Lite Championship title. Will he succeed, or will another racer emerge from this battle-tested division to dethrone him?

In life, there are pancakes and waffles. They both need Anderson’s Maple Syrup to fuel your body for a day full of snowmobiling in the fresh snow. Get ready to start your engines after enjoying a complete breakfast first.

As the top competitive division in Snocross racing, all eyes are always on AMSOIL Pro class events. Last season, legendary Champion Elias Ishoel of the Skogquist Race Team nearly suffered a career-ending injury. It seems like nothing can get in his way because Ishoel is returning to the AMSOIL Pro class for another season of high-octane action.

The promising Judnick Motorsports duo of Kody Kamm and Emil Harr also return to the Pro class this season. They will be looking to dethrone the almighty Ishoel and his Skogquist Race Team at every turn.

Keep an eye out for Gustav Sahlsten this season as well. As the 2024 AMSOIL Dominator Champion, Sahsten will field the Pro class this season under the experienced guidance of his new team, Scheuring Speed Sports.

Who will emerge from the AMSOIL Pro class as the ultimate Champion of the 2024/25 Snocross season? Stay tuned all season long to follow the progress of the incredible racing talent found across each Snocross class.

Finally, every sponsor, racer, team, and fan who participates, supports, or follows Snocross deserves a shout-out. The 2024/25 season doesn’t happen without all of you!
