First Round of Hired Guns Announced for 2022 Vurb Classic

Now that your Loretta’s hangover has finally subsided it is time for the 6-9th Vurb Classic! That is right doggies, we are back for another year at NXT LVL101 in Gray Court, South Carolina, home of THE JP$$ Jessica Patterson and Eddie Ray. This year we have the addition of the Queen of the Classic featuring a massive pro purse for the Women’s class! Check out the details on that here. 

We will also be handing out our coveted King of the Classic title in memory of Clayton Sain who won the title in 2021. The week after the event, Clayton tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a motocross accident. We have decided to dedicate the King of the Classic to him.

Let’s talk Hired Guns.

We have reached out to a batch of candidates, so check those IG inboxes kids, and are proud to announce our first drop of Vurb Classic Hired Guns. 

A Class:

Daxton Bennick: Dax has grown to be a household name in the amateur motocross scene landing on the podium at nearly every race including taking the coveted 250 B title just a short time ago at Loretta’s. Bennick will be bringing plenty of speed and steeze to the NXT LVL101 facility. Think you can give him a run for his money? 

Supermini: 

Tiger Wood: Returning Hired Gun Tiger Wood looks to leave his mark on the Supermini Class as he is nearing the end of his Supermini career. Tiger was top three overall at Loretta’s this past year in both Supermini classes and is consistently on the podium or winning dang near every race he is in! Welcome back, Tiger! 

30+: 

Brandon Haas: The man, the myth, the legend that is Brandon Haas makes his inaugural Hired Gun appearance in the 30+ class this year. Fresh off of a 30+ Loretta’s title, Brandon is owner/shredder over at Club MX and man do his skills and speed on a bike show it. Can anyone give him a run for his money in the 30+ class? Only time will tell. 

51cc 4-6 Shaft Drive: 

Talon Robertson: Let’s give a warm welcome to pdub ripper Talon Roberston to the Hired Gun squad! Talon comes to us from OH-IO and is looking to keep the momentum rolling after a third overall this past year at Loretta’s. The kid knows how to ride ruts so he should be just fine in the orange clay of the sou

We met Jeff sleeping in a tent down the street from Loretta Lynn's... with his computer. At that point, we knew he would fit in with us. Then, he then drank all the white claw flavors none of us liked, and that's when we knew it was meant to be. Jeff officially became part of the crew.
We're terrible at asking questions, so we're not exactly sure what Jeff does for a living, but he loves petting his cats and dog, growing his beard, and living in a cornfield in Michigan. Jeff also likes to wear cycling glasses while driving his car and using his cameras. We like Jeff.
