The German national team driver Kai Huckenbeck fits in as tailored into the team spirit that SES - Sønderjylland Elite Speedway sees as an important value base when the team in 2021 turns out in the Metal Speedway League.
The 27-year-old Kai Huckenbeck has for a number of years been among Germany's very best speedway driver, together with Martin Smolinski and Tobias Kroner. Thus, Huckenbeck became individual German champion in 2013 and 2014, just as he has several team titles, and shown strong driving in both the British, Polish and Danish leagues.
And it is precisely from 2017 and 2018 at Esbjerg, in the best Danish series, that the tdl. Esbjerg, and current SES - Sønderjylland Elite Speedway, team leader Ib Pedersen has an in-depth knowledge of Huckenbeck.
- We had a really good collaboration with Kai Huckenbeck. He possesses a rare team spirit, in this individual motorsport, and it is just as important when the chemistry has to go up, on a team with both stars and young talents, says Ib Pedersen, who has thus taken Huckenbeck with him from Granly Arena in Esbjerg to Vojens Speedway Center.
- Kai is also a real racer, but even though he got his speedway upbringing on the big German tracks - and even drove 1,000 meters of speedway - he can easily find his way around a little smaller facilities. I have seen this several times when he has driven in Denmark, states Ib Pedersen.

Kai Huckenbeck was born in Wuppertal in 1993, and began his career as a 50cc nine-year-old.
