As the summer finally begins to heat up, so does the racing action for several Team AMSOIL race teams and series.
Super Team Returns to Pomona
AMSOIL Super Team drives Scott Douglas and Mike Oberg will be returning to the Fairplex in Pomona, June 7 and 8. The 2008 Championship Off Road Racing season is heating up as serious battles are beginning to take shape in all classes. As CORR reaches the third stop in its tour, Scott Douglas sits second overall in the 860 horsepower, four-wheel drive, Pro 4 class.
In the fiercely competitive Pro 2 class, AMSOIL drivers Oberg, Ricky Johnson and Jeremy McGrath will chase Rob MacCachren for the top spot. Team Red Bull/AMSOIL's Johnson and Monster Energy/AMSOIL's McGrath, both former Supercross Champions, took podiums recently in Las Vegas. In the Pro Lite class, Team AMSOIL driver Chad Hord, the 2006 class champion, will battle reigning Pro Lite Champion Robert Naughton.

Tickets are available online at www.corracing.com as well as onsite, at the event. CORR is aired on NBC and SPEED channel. Round 4 racing action will air on NBC on Sunday, June 15.
