New Stadium UTV Race Series Starts This Year

As much as it pains us to admit it- summer, like most good things, will inevitably come to an end. We do take great comfort though in the fact that the end of the riding season generally means the start of the indoor racing season. To that end Arctic Cat Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAT) has announced it is launching the Arctic Cat Stadium Side-by-Side (SXS) Racing Series, which will be the lead-in race to the main event at Robby Gordon’s wildly popular Stadium Super Truck (SST) Series events. The new Arctic Cat Stadium SXS Series will feature 10 Arctic Cat Wildcat side-by-sides driven by Action Sport Athletes, fans and dealers, who will use the same track as the Stadium Super Trucks.

Commented Arctic Cat Chief Marketing Officer Greg Williamson: “Our Stadium Wildcat Side-by-Side Series is a result of our partnership with Robby Gordon and our efforts to solidify Arctic Cat as a major sponsor of racing. Our brand stands for exceptional performance and this series reflects Arctic Cat’s commitment to delivering the ultimate off-road riding experience.”

The first Arctic Cat Stadium SXS Series race will debut at the Sands Sports Super Show in Costa Mesa, Calif., on September 18-20, 2015. The second and final round for 2015 will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center on November 3-6 during the SEMA show, which is the world’s premier automotive specialty products trade event.

In addition, Arctic Cat will be the proud sponsor of the #29 Team Wildcat Racing Stadium Super Truck for the remainder of this season, and will continue the sponsorship into the 2016 season. Wildcat branding in an eye-catching black and Arctic Cat green color scheme will adorn the #29 Stadium Super Truck.
