Will we see former
Husaberg racers Russell

ow that the OMA, National
Enduro and GNCC Series
are over for 2013, many are wondering what will happen to many
of the factory and high-profile
Husaberg racers for next year,
including Russell Bobbitt and
recent Moose Run winner Nick
Fahringer.
With the Husaberg brand being phased out following KTM's
recent acquisition of Husqvarna, many are expecting that the
four-time AMA National Enduro
Champion Bobbitt and Fahringer
will wind up on the Husky brand
next year, but even they can't

Knight, who is also a multi-time World Enduro
and Grand National Cross-Country Champion, is
expected to compete aboard a Sherco. Knight
has not yet officially submitted an entry yet, but
he has up until race day to do so.

Eight-time National Enduro
Champion Mike Lafferty, who
has spent the last three years on
Husabergs, already announced
his move to KTM for his final year
of racing in 2014.
Bobbitt and Fahringer plan on
racing both the AMA National Enduros and OMAs again next year,
but again, nothing is finalized.
