The North Carolina native had previously only ridden KTMs since making his Loretta Lynn’s debut in the 51 Class back in 2012.

Bennick is a five-time champ at Loretta’s, which included a 250 B class title this past year.

Bennick thanked KTM in a Instagram post recently:

“Over 50 number 1 plates 5 Loretta Lynn’s titles over the past 10 years.
