In one of the more interesting moves of the off-season. Pro Lite winner and 2021 title prospect Andy Pake has made the move to yellow, or in this case blue, signing with the Thene Motorsports team out of Clear Lake, Minnesota.

This one comes as a bit of a surprise given the Pake family’s long and storied history with Arctic Cat. However, in this new world order where there are no guarantees on either side of the fence, it is a strong move for Pake and Thene.

Pake will join Sport class standout Emeric Legendre and veteran Steve Martin who was often in the mix at the front of the Pro 30+ class last season.
