AMSOIL sponsored drivers gearing up for new seasonsThe beginning of April is quiet month for racing, mostly because the seasons are switching over to the warmer weather. That means some AMSOIL sponsored race teams will finally be getting the chance to get on the track and others will be turning laps for the first time in three weeks this upcoming weekend.
Two AMSOIL Super Team drivers are starting the short course, off-road truck racing season this weekend. Scott Douglas and Dan Vanden Heuvel will be taking part in the opening round of the CORR series. Douglas will be driving in the Pro-4 class while Vanden Heuvel will be competing in the Pro-2 class. Time trials start on Friday with three rounds of racing beginning on Saturday. The events, which are being held at the Antelope Fairgrounds about one hour north of Los Angeles, will air on NBC in two weeks.
Team AMSOIL late model driver Brady Smith will be back on the track this weekend after spending the past two weeks out of action due to the poor weather across much of the country. Smith will be taking his AMSOIL backed Monte Carlo to Lowes Motors Speedway for the Colossal 100.
Pro Bass anglers Darrin Schwenkbeck and Glenn Delong are coming off a two week break and will be looking for big fish in Georgia. Delong made the final day of fishing in California two weeks ago, and Schwenkbeck is looking to make his first cut of the ESPN owned series this weekend in Evans, Ga. The Pride of Georgia tournament begins on Thursday, April 29.The top Supercross riders in the world had a mid-season break the past two weeks and the teams will be gearing up for the stretch run this weekend in Detroit, Mich. There are only three rounds of racing in the AMA Supercross series. Kevin Windham and Josh Grant and the rest of the AMSOIL team will be looking for their first win of the season starting this weekend. The events air on CBS and Speed.
Until then, see you at the races,
