Team Arctic Racers Celebrate A Year To Remember

Written by Media Relations | May 1, 2026

Since its foundation, Arctic Cat has always thrived on the spirit of competition. Whether on snow- or ice-covered racecourses, frozen lake tops, rugged mountainsides, whooped-out ditches or elsewhere, the brand’s snowmobiles have been developed, tested, proven and refined through the intense rigors of high-performance racing. It’s an important part of Arctic Cat’s DNA.

Racers know that success in their sport is the result of premium effort, an unending drive for improvement and innovation, and an unquenchable desire to always push harder than the competition. Those same winning qualities are also reflected by Arctic Cat employees, dealers, suppliers and customers – as well as in the machines we produce.

The result of that determination is exemplified by the following group of Team Arctic racers who finished the 2025-26 race season in a top-three podium position – some in multiple classes – in points across various race series. Over the course of the season, they overcame countless obstacles en route to results for which they can be proud.

“Racing is fun, exciting and exhilarating, but it’s also a lot of work!” said Team Arctic Race Manager Mike Kloety. “The amount of effort and resources people put into it is amazing. These Team Arctic racers – plus the impressive teams and supporters they have behind them – have truly earned our respect. We’d also like to acknowledge our team sponsors for their continued support – we couldn’t do it without you!”

Truthfully, our list below is not 100% complete – it includes racers on full-sized, modern Arctic Cat snowmobiles from sanctioned circuits that publicly reported their results. We salute each racer for their accomplishments. Beyond that, we also thank all official and unofficial Team Arctic members – from the newest racers on youth sleds to the folks rocking vintage iron and beyond in all aspects of the sport – for flying the Arctic Cat colors with pride last winter.

The countdown to the next race season has already begun, and we know many of these competitors are already building toward the future. But join us in taking a moment to recognize their great 2025-26 accomplishments.
