Rinker Wins Mod-U National Championship

Team AMSOIL power boat driver Terry Rinker marked the Labor Day Weekend with a successful run at the 25th O.P.C. National Championship races in Kankakee, Ill.


Rinker took part in the festivities, which were not a ChampBoat sanctioned race, by competiting in the Modified Unlimited class. Rinker earned the National Championship title driving the AMSOIL sponsored #10 boat to a strong victory. The AMSOIL boat started in the pole position and lead the field for all 15 laps to secure the victory. This National Championship win increases the AMSOIL team’s APBA national high points lead in the Mod-U class with one race remaining. The final race will be held in Florida in mid-October.



AMSOIL team driver, Randy Rinker finished a respectable fifth after suffering a propeller failure mid way through the 15-lap race.
The AMSOIL team hopes to carry the momentum of this win to the next ChampBoat Series race in Tempe, Az. on September 27-28. Rinker is leading the F1 ChampBoat series point’s championship. AMSOIL is also the Official Oil of ChampBoat.

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