The FMF/KTM Factory backed-racer Josh Toth is also looking to get back to the front of the pack this season, and battle for more podium finishes. 

Last year Rev Motorsports/GASGAS Racing Grant Baylor earned the season opener win at Big Buck, and this season he is looking to repeat that success in his home state of South Carolina.

Coastal GASGAS Factory Racing’s Johnny Girroir finished inside the top 10 overall last year, while also earning the XC2 250 Pro National Championship.
