What The Team Does and Where It Does It

Hentges Racing is a professional snocross team that competes throughout North America in top ranked competitions like X-Games, the Amsoil Duluth National, and Air Force National.

Teams compete in three-day tournaments with races generally starting Friday evening with pro and semi-pro qualifiying rounds. Saturdays include amateur classes and afternoon pro & semi-pro segments. Tournaments conclude Sundays with qualifying and final rounds of all other classes.

Why They Do What They Do

We do it for the pure excitement that comes along with racing. It's the passion that keeps us doing what we do and has made the entire team the best in the sport.  

How Did You and/or Your Team Get Started Doing This?

Jonny Hentges started racing in 1999, with brother Nate joining shortly after. The racing team has long been a  tremendous family activity for the Hentges clan, evolving eventually into a full fledged, highly successful racing team.  

What They Like About It

We love chasing the championships and the thrill of winning races.  It makes everything worth it.

How Ergodyne's Sponsorship Helps

"Ergodyne has supplied the team and mechanics with various work gloves for all types of climates and tasks along with tool organizers and work pads," said Steve Hentges. "Ergodyne has raised the level of efficiency and comfort for the dedicated team mechanics and crew chiefs."
