Hibbert retires

[Deleted member 10829]

I don't follow Snocross racing much, but I was surprised to read in my new American Snowmobiler magazine today that Tucker had retired back in May. I'm sure many have heard about this already. He sure went out on top!

I have followed him since he was 14 years old. He has put in more time in the saddle than anyone else in the sport. I actually had the honor to meet him while in the Cats Pride skybox at Eagle River, in fact have #68's autograph. Good guy, and no better time to leave the racing behind, like mspease said, "out on top". Good for him! I'm sure he has a secure future in R & D, anywhere...been a pleasure watching him though.-Mezz

Tucker was (absolutely still could be) a great racer and a great guy. Yes he would express his dislike about a track or another racers "poor move" in a post race interview but after that he would let things go and move on. He made himself available to all fans as much as he could, he also gave back many many times to different charities and groups. My 6 and 3 year old sons know who he is but they have no idea who any football or basketball players are.

Hats off to Tucker and his family (all good things start at home......glad my wife is around to try and keep our boys on the straight and narrow). It will be interesting to see what he does in the coming months.
