Ski-Doo Racers Dominate the Iron Dog Race and Continue Winning Streak

Ski-Doo Racers Achieve Victory at the 2026 Iron Dog

The legendary Ski-Doo brand, a product of BRP Inc., has once again proven its dominance in the world of snowmobile racing by achieving a triumphant performance at the 2026 Iron Dog, recognized as the toughest and longest snowmobile race globally. Tyler Aklestad and Nick Olstad rode their Ski-Doo machines to a stunning victory, securing the title of Iron Dog Champions. Notably, this marks their sixth win in the last seven years, underscoring Ski-Doo’s continued excellence in racing.

Completing a powerful 1-2 sweep, Team #5 comprised of Zack Weisz and Thomas Davis took the second spot, showcasing Ski-Doo's superior performance. Aklestad, ecstatic about the win, expressed his gratitude to the Ski-Doo team, stating, "Can't thank all you guys enough, those sleds ran amazing. It just feels so amazing to have another win. It truly was a complete test of equipment and environment this year."

The Iron Dog race demands unmatched endurance and extensive preparation from its participants. Ski-Doo racers exemplify the spirit of resilience that defines the BRP racing community as they tackled this year's challenging course. Each competitor who rode a Ski-Doo sled demonstrated exceptional skill, with their MXZ X-RS 600R E-TEC model, available to the general public, proving to be a formidable opponent in the harsh conditions of the race.

Looking forward to the future, Ski-Doo enthusiasts can anticipate the 2027 MXZ X-RS 600RR E-TEC, which will feature the newly developed Rotax 600RR E-TEC engine, providing increased horsepower and enhanced performance. Racers are encouraged to visit their local Ski-Doo dealer before the end of March to secure their order for next season.

Continued Success in Snocross

In addition to their Iron Dog triumph, Ski-Doo racers have maintained their momentum on the Snocross circuit. In Salamanca, New York, rookie racer Crayden Dillon showcased his skills by finishing as a runner-up on one day and following up with a dominant victory the next day, winning by a commanding nine seconds. His performance showcases the upward trajectory of Ski-Doo racers this season.

Meanwhile, Jordan Lebel, the current points leader, added another impressive achievement to his season record. Starting deep in the pack, he displayed remarkable drive and determination, moving from eighth to third place within just four laps. This marks his sixth podium finish of the year, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable competitor.

The dynamic performances of Dillon and Lebel exemplify Ski-Doo's dominance in the ISOC Pro class, as they stack wins and podiums consecutively. Just a week earlier in Valcourt, Lebel swept both Pro finals, emphasizing his status as one of the sport’s leading racers.

With Dillon’s impressive back-to-back wins and Lebel’s relentless pursuit of podium finishes, it is clear that Ski-Doo racers are setting a pace that others will find hard to match throughout the season.
