Kyle LeDuc spent his weekends as a kid watching his dad charge across the Baja California desert in a 4x4 off-road truck. He is the son of one of the modern day gods of off-road racing, and naturally followed in his father's (Curt) trail of dust. Like many off-roaders do – he started on dirt bikes, and Kyle jumped into his first pro off-road race at age 19 and hasn't let off the gas since. LeDuc locked down his first Pro 4x4 win in 2008 and continues to challenge the world's best in the uniquely American sport of short course off-road racing. On his first weekend as a Monster Energy-backed athlete, his 900-horspower truck rocketed out to a 1st place podium finish. And it ain't gonna be the last time he runs the M-claw logo up to the top of the podium – count on that!
