Tucker Hibbert heads to supercross after WPSA sweep

VERONA, N.Y. - Though he's off to continued success in the AMA Supercross Series, Tucker Hibbert of Goodridge, Minn., left a lasting impression Sunday on the WPSA PowerSports Snowmobile Tour by sweeping the Pro Stock and Pro Open Snocross finals.

The events were part of the Eastern National Snocross at Turning Stone Resort and Casino.

After dominating Pro Open qualifying, winning all three of his heats, Hibbert took the lead in the first turn of the 16-lap final and was never seriously challenged.

Blair Morgan (Ski-Doo) passed Garth Kaufman (Arctic Cat) on the final lap to nab second place and his first Pro Open podium of the season. Kaufman was third.

Chris Kafka (Polaris) won the Semi-Pro Open final. Katejun Coonishish (Ski-Doo) took second on the final lap, and cruised to his third consecutive podium. Cory Davis (Arctic Cat) was third and won his first Semi-Pro Open podium of the 2006-2007 season.

Kyle Pallin (Arctic Cat) won the Junior 14-15 final.
