OTSFF Sports Marketing Group is proud to announce the signing of a two-year venture with Polaris Industries, to run the snocross program in Canada.

The team, which will campaign the CSRA Snowcross Championship series as Polaris OTSFF Racing, will feature Iain Hayden and Lee Butler at the controls of the potent new 2011 Polaris sleds. In addition to the national points chase, the team will also contest the CSRA’s regional tour to assure maximum exposure for Medina, Minnesota-based Polaris.

Hayden, who has won three CSRA Pro National Championship titles, will be joined on the team by his archrival in the 2010 CSRA Pro Open Championship Lee Butler. Like Hayden, Butler is also a three-time pro champ. His most recent title win was in the CSRA Pro Open division this year.

Butler is no stranger to the OTSFF Racing paddock. The Northbrooke, Ontario native raced snowmobiles for the team in ’05, ’06, and ’07 and belongs to the elite of Canada’s snowcross racing community.

Espanola, Ontario’s Hayden has been an OTSFF Racing stalwart for the past 10 years both in snocross and motocross. The past two seasons Hayden has competed on Yamaha snowmobiles. In the 2010 CSRA series, Hayden was in contention for the title along with Butler till the bitter end. When all was said and done at the final race of the season, he and Butler were tied in the points standings. The title went to Butler, as he had one more event win to his credit.

Although Polaris OTSFF Racing’s main focus will be on the CSRA Championship, the team will also attend selected ISOC events south of the border.
