When Labor Day weekend rolls around, most of America takes the extended weekend to get in one last vacation or just to relax before the start of the school year. For Team AMSOIL, this weekend just means another chance to take home the checkered flag.
AMSOIL is proud to continue its Official Oil sponsorship of the New England Regional Motocross Championship at the Winchester Speedpark in Winchester, N.H. This year's race will also be televised to 2.4 million homes in New England. AMSOIL amateur rider Justin Barcia will be lining up in the pro class at the NERC. Also on hand to sign autographs will be AMSOIL rider and SX Lites East Coast champion Trey Canard. The event starts tomorrow and runs through Monday.
Dan Vanden Heuvel will be looking for his first Pro 2wd championship in Crandon, Wis. this weekend as the WSORR hosts its annual BorgWarner championship weekend. AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas will be looking for his third BorgWarner Cup and Mike Oberg will be looking for his fifth World Championship ring. Chad Hord, driving the AMSOIL Pro Light truck, has his eyes on tonight's big "Showdown and Sundown." Racing starts tonight with the Pro Light race, continues on Saturday with the World Championships and ends on Sunday with the BorgWarner Cup race which pits Pro 2wd versus Pro 4x4's.
The final weekend of the AMA Outdoor Nationals take place on Saturday. This is a dual event with the ATVA, and AMSOIL is the Official Oil of both series. Team AMSOIL Lites riders Josh Grant, Jake Weimer, Dan Reardon and rookie Blake Wharton will be looking for the overall wins on Saturday.
Bob Teague will be on Lake Cumberland, Ky. starting today. He will be pushing the AMSOIL Off Shore boat at the OSS race, looking to add another win and regain the series points lead. Race runs through Sunday.
Brady Smith will be racing at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. on Saturday night as part of the WDRL schedule.
Finally, Sudden Impact will push the AMSOIL Shock Therapy monster truck through the freestyle and racing shows in Batesville, Arkansas Friday and Saturday.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
