Two of the winningest families – and most recognizable names – in PWC racing have now joined forces.
Several weeks ago, when Dustin Farthing announced that Farthing Racing would be racing, once again, under the Yamaha banner, Farthing also told The Watercraft Journal that he was working on putting together the 2025 Farthing Race team, and would be announcing the new members in the coming weeks.
Last night, March 20, Farthing followed through on that plan with the official announcement of Troy Snyder as the first addition to the 2025 Farthing Race Team.
“We’re excited to officially welcome Tory Snyder to the Farthing Racing, Yamaha, Monster Energy family. Watching you grow up has been an incredible journey, and with your father being one of my closest friends for nearly three decades, this partnership feels like the perfect next chapter. Today, two families come together with one goal: winning races,” Farthing stated in a post to social media.
Adding a comment directed at the new team member, Farthing added, “As we gear up for the 2025 season, we’re thrilled to have you join our winning program alongside our current talented racers. Thank you for trusting us with your future—we can’t wait to build something special together.”
The Watercraft Journal spoke with Farthing shortly after the announcement, asking him about the selection process and what qualities and attributes played a part in the decision.
“I’m incredibly excited to work with the next generation of riders. When I envisioned the perfect team, it had to include young, passionate talent — and Tory fits that vision perfectly. Not only is he an exceptional racer, but he’s also best friends with my sons Deven and Talan, which makes this feel more like family than a team,” Farthing stated, adding “I’ve known Tory’s father for nearly 30 years—we traveled the world together back in the ’90s—and now, to help his son chase his dreams alongside other Farthing racers that will be announced soon is truly special. This is the start of something amazing.”
Stay tuned in the coming days as WCJ talks with Tory about this opportunity and his plans for the coming year, as well as continued announcements about further additions to the Farthing Race Team.
