“We have been growing as a team every year and for 2022 Muc-Off is helping us achieve new heights,” said Haas, president of ClubMX and team principal. “With their support, it will be the first year that we travel to both coasts for Supercross plus race the entire outdoor series — it is pretty exciting. The entire Muc-Off team has been a pleasure to work with and as a company we share a very big international audience. It made good sense for us to partner together to help each other accomplish our goals and the new season will show what we are capable of on and off the track.”
