The AMSOIL Super Team driver headed to Crandon, Wis. for the BorgWarner Shootout on Labor Day weekend and pushed his Sunday streak to three after winning the Pro 4x4 class race on Sunday morning. Douglas also ran well on Saturday, holding the second place spot for much of the race. The El Cajon, Calif. native was forced to put after a racing incident caused his fiberglass fender to block the trucks cooling system and his line of site. In the Cup race, a bad crash by Johnny Greaves in front of Doulgas forced the AMSOIL Ford F-15o into Greaves, crippling the trucks front end and forcing Douglas out of the race.In Pro 2wd, AMSOIL Super Team driver Mike Oberg showed off his top end speed with three strong races. On Saturday, Oberg started in the back row and found himself in tenth coming into the
first turn. On the third lap, however, Oberg started dialing in the truck and began picking off the field. Within four laps, Oberg was one of the fastest trucks on the track and was looking at a podium finish. A large rock would play the spoiler after it kicked up and damaged the transmission, forcing Oberg to pull off.On Sunday, Oberg would get redemption. Again starting in the back row due to not racing full time in the WSORR, Oberg received perfect bite off the starting line and came through the first turn in fourth. From there, Oberg moved his AMSOIL Chevy into second and battled there for much of the race. With about three laps to go, Oberg started to pull away from the rest of the field and would land on the podium in second. In the Cup race, Oberg ran fourth for most of the race, but another rock pierced the transmission casing and ending the day for the Elk River, Wis. native.
Chad Hord pushed his Pro Lite onto three podium finishes this weekend. On Friday, Hord battled with Jeff Kincaid, finishing second in the Decision at Sundown. On Saturday, Hord used the longer track and motor troubles from Kincaid to his advantage, winning the Crandon World Championship race and bringing another ring to Felch, Mich. On Sunday, Hord started ninth, but was able to push the Boss Plow/AMSOIL truck into another second place finish.Congratulations go out to Dan Vanden Huevel. The Flying Dutchman won his first WSORR point's championship with a pair of strong finishes this weekend. The Dutchman also finished third in the BorgWarner Cup race, which was swept by Pro 2wd's.
Douglas, Oberg and Hord will return to action as Championship Off Road Racing moves back to Chula Vista, Calif. on September 13-14. AMSOIL is the Official Oil of CORR. Saturday's race will air live on SPEED.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
