There are still deals being done this late in the year and Christmas comes early for Mark Fineis as he inked his contract to race for the Muc-Off /FXR / ClubMX race team for the entire 2025 season. Words: Mike Bonacci / ClubMX
Fineis had some real highlights as a rookie last season and earned himself a spot on the team. The race at High Point last June was just one of those memorable moments, where he had a great holeshot and led laps for the first half of the race. There were more moments like that throughout the season, which kept Fineis in the conversation and ultimately opened the door for him to be considered for a full-time spot on the team. As expected from any rookie, Fineis’ first season had its ups and downs, but was able to record some top ten overall finishes, in what is considered a very competitive 250 class.
Coming into 2025, his expectations are higher now that he has more comfort in the system from travel to race day protocols and everything in between.
Fineis: “Getting my rookie season behind me is a bit of a relief. There was a lot to learn from the team and all the stresses that go along with travel and racing. Now that I know what to expect, I feel like I can do much better this season. Except for a short break when the season ended, the training at ClubMX has never stopped. I really wanted to immerse myself in the new training and fitness program to get ready for Supercross and the work has been paying off. The other deciding factor was the bike. My team built some amazing bikes last season and now they have found more power for this season. The thing is crazy fast, and I am excited for the opportunity to continue on with them.”
