Kyle LeDuc
#99 Monster Energy
Residence: Cherry Valley, CA
Born: July 29th, 1981 (31 years old)
Bio:
Kyle Leduc has truly done it all; mountain biking, motocross, desert racing, and even R/C car racing, but for Kyle racing is not a hobby or even a job, it is a career and lifestyle that he wouldn’t trade for anything. Growing up a Leduc pretty much dictates a destiny in off road racing, so Kyle didn’t waste any time living up to the family creed. With 28 off road wins, 1 championship and a huge win in the 2009 BorgWarner Cup, Kyle has gained the respect of all his competitors by becoming a serious contender in short course racing. For 2012 look for Kyle to be out front in Pro-Lite in addition to his Pro-4.

Enter Robby Woods.
