“Eckstrom, Crapo Ready For Aspen”
Local snocrossers ready for prime time of Winter X Games

Aspen, Colo. ~ Duluth native Dennis “DJ” Eckstrom and AMSOIL teammate Shaun Crapo (St. Anthony, Idaho) will be looking for podium finishes at Friday night’s Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo.  The ESPN extreme games will feature the sport's top riders and will air live on ESPN and ABC this weekend.

Crapo, who finished second the WPSA Pro Open race in Brainerd two weeks ago, will be looking for his first Winter X Games medal.  Crapo finished second at the Winter X qualifier at the AMSOIL Duluth Nationals in November.  Crapo finished 12th at last years games.

Eckstrom will head to Aspen with hopes to carry on his winning ways. He has a bronze and a silver medal from previous X Games performances.

“With ESPN beaming the race worldwide, you always want to do well,” said Eckstrom.  “The track is one of the best we’ll see and winning in Aspen is a great accomplishment for your team, sponsors and family.”
