Bender (No. 19 Pirtek/Polaris) also won yesterday's Semi Pro Open race and received an invitation to Winter X Games 11 earlier today.
This weekend's race will be telecast on SPEED on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. EST. The event will re-air on Thursday, Dec. 14, also at 2 p.m.
Andrew Johnstadt (No. 255 Avalanche Racing/Polaris) and Dan Ebert (No. 602 Speedwerx/Arctic Cat) finished second and third, respectively.
Bender was ecstatic with earning the sweep.
"This is amazing," exclaimed Bender. "The whole Hentges family has just been great this year. This is just an amazing way to start the season. I couldn't have planned this any better."
Bender credited the Hentges Racing Team, in large part, for his victories.
"There's such a family atmosphere on the team," said Bender. "The Hentges family has always been there for me. On Thursday, we had Thanksgiving dinner, right in the transporter in the pits. It's a great team."
Trent Sundblom (No. 280 AMSOIL/Ski-Doo) won the 120cc Champ 6-12 final, followed by Ryan Trout (No. 105 S.M. Hentges/Arctic Cat), and Trent Wittwer (No. 115 Arctic Cat).
Sunday's results will be posted on www.PowerSportsTour.com.
The next race for the PowerSports Snowmobile Tour, the Polaris Michigan Snocross, is scheduled for Dec. 16-17 at Otsego Club in Gaylord, Mich.
