Eckre "Crowned" Champion


Thanks to the AMSOIL Triple Crown series, DJ Ekre and Ryan Simons can both add more “firsts” to their racing resumes.

Simons took home the Pro 600 checked flag in the first running of the Hayward 300 presented by the LCO Casino in Hayward, Wis. While Ekre only finished fifth in the race, he was crowned as the inaugural champion of the AMSOIL Triple Crown series. Ekre had first place finishes in both the Mille Lacs 200 and the BIR 200 making a seventh place finish or better necessary to win the AMSOIL Triple Crown.

“The track was fun,” said Ekre, “and the support of the fans and community for the first time event made it a blast for the racers and our team. We’re already talking about next year.”

All races of the AMSOIL Triple Crown driven by Polaris will be televised and featured on Sled Head 24/7.

Until then, we'll see you at the races.
