Pflipsen Racing kicked off the 2025-2026 Snocross season in Ironwood MI this weekend and battled the weather as well as the competition. Chilly temps, lingering snow dust, and lake effect snow definitely added to the challenge and made visibility tough. In Pro Lite, Kellen Chapuran just missed the podium on Friday night finishing 4th after a back row start. On Saturday Kellen got the holeshot and led the field for half the race, but dropped to 2nd after a small bobble. He would ride strong the rest of the race and finish 2nd. In Sport, Caiden Pflipsen had some tough luck, getting pushed off track and crashing during qualifying. He would unfortunately miss making the finals.
Did we mention that it was cold?
We’ve got a few weeks off before rounds 3&4 and the guys will be spending a ton of time at the practice track.
Thanks to the team/crew and all our sponsors!
