Ready to Ride: Daytona Bike Week

Over the past few years, AMSOIL has associated itself with three major bike weeks: Daytona, Sturgis and Laconia. On Friday, the first of those three gets underway in Datyona Beach.

The beauty about Daytona is the timing. For those of us who live and ride in the Northern United States, we are always looking for a break from the doldrums of what has become a long winter and Daytona Bike Week offers up a little bit of something for everyone.

You can head over to Destination Daytona or cruise Beach Street. If racing is your elixir, then there is nothing greater than the famed Daytona International Speedway. The world's top Supercross stars will race there on March 5, including Team AMSOIL riders Kevin Windham and Justin Barcia. Or you can wait a week for the AMA Pro Road Racing series to begin its season at the Speedway. There you will be able to witness the first race for Erik Buell Racing with Geoff May on top of the #99 AMSOIL/EBR bike. Larry Pegram will challenge May in the AMA Superbike series again this year, riding a BMW for Foremost Insurance/AMSOIL.

But the rally is focused around riding. With plenty of scenic highways and byways, one can ride to countless spots in and around Daytona Beach. Through it all, AMSOIL will be widely recognizable and available for the ten day event. Check in on us at Beach Street. Or Destination Daytona. Or the Daytona International Speedway.

Either way, enjoy the warmer weather and safe riding.

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

Tomac Delivers First Career Win in San Diego

Team AMSOIL rider Eli Tomac, of Cortez, Colo., captured his first career Monster Energy Supercross victory in the Western Regional Supercross Lites class in a rainy San Diego over the weekend.



As the gates dropped on the Supercross Lites class main event, Tomac grabbed the holeshot and never looked back, leading wire-to-wire with a convincing win.

“The first five laps I just put my head down and pulled away. It was kind of crazy,” said Tomac, who won by more than 10 seconds. “The track was really tricky and slippery. I got a little nervous out (front), but overall it was really good. I’ve learned a lot this season and I’ve gotten a lot better in recent weeks.”

The win moved Tomac closer to the overall points lead as he now sits third overall. Tomac will have to wait a few weeks before racing again as the series heads to Atlanta for round two of the East Coast Lites championship this Saturday.

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

Martin Tops In Pro Open, Malinoski Third

Team AMSOIL rider Ross Martin jumped to an early lead in the Pro Super Stock main, but it was Tucker Hibbert claiming the top step on the podium at the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series event in Pontiac, Mich. on Saturday. Martin held a commanding lead until five laps to go, when Hibbert motored by on his Monster Energy Arctic Cat for the win.

Just as with several events this season, Hibbert did not have the best of starts but was able to create new lines, to race through some heavy hitters and get the win. Martin continues to stay close in the season standings with the second aboard his Jack Link’s/Dupont/AMSOIL Polaris, while Warnert Racing/Foremost Insurance’s Tim Tremblay took a step back when he was black flagged for contact with Logan Christian. Christian had been in a podium position but dropped back to fourth after the contact, allowing teammate Garth Kaufman to get the three spot.

The AMSOIL Pro Open final went down as one of the highlights of the season, with Tim Tremblay getting a massive lead after a first turn pileup induced a restart. Hibbert and Martin then chased Tremblay in a shootout of the current point leaders. When Hibbert went down on the back straight, it looked as if Tremblay may be in line for his first win of the season. With seven laps to go Martin worked by Tremblay and AMSOIL/Air Force/Rockstar rider Robbie Malinoski closed the gap in third. The top three finished in that order with Hibbert racing back through the field to challenge Malinoski at the finish.

The series returns March 5, with the Hayward Powersports/Polaris National at the LCO Casino in Hayward, Wisc.

Martin Derails T-Train, Malinoski Rounds Out Podium

Team AMSOIL rider Ross Martin used a solid start and quick charge to the front to earn his first victory of the season in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series last weekend in New York.

Martin endured heavy traffic on the opening lap of the Pro Stock final and began to pressure early race leader Dan Ebert

“I got off the start, not the best jump, I was sandwiched between everyone and the snow dust just hung in the air,” said Martin. “I couldn’t really see until we were coming back down the straight toward the finish line. I just kept looking ahead going forward trying to get to the front as quick as I could.”

Roughly one third of the way into the main, Martin passed Ebert and would not be challenged the rest of the way. AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports rider Robbie Malinoksi was battling for a final podium spot on Friday before getting tangled up with another rider late in the competition and finishing tenth.

The win moved Martin into a tie for the overall points lead with Tucker Hibbert, who finished fifth.

Martin and Malinoski were both on the throttle hard again on Saturday night, this time in the AMSOIL Pro Open final. Malinsoki, the number one qualifier on the night, pushed hard and finished third and moving him into fourth in the overall standings. Martin continues to battle with Hibbert for the overall lead, as he racked up his fourth straight second place finish behind the Arctic Cat rider.

The ACSS moves inside this weekend with the fifth round of racing being held at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., just north of Detroit.

Third Straight Podium for Eli Tomac

Team AMSOIL rookie Eli Tomac is hitting his stride thanks to a fast bike and good starts, but it might be his early season patience that his helping him the most in his inaugural Monster Energy Supercross.

Tomac got another great start in Anaheim on Saturday night, putting the young Colorado-native in contention for his first career supercross win. It was an impressive battle between Josh Hansen and Tomac, as both riders took their turns out front. Tomac took the lead from Hansen, only for Hansen to nose his way back into the lead. A regrouped Tomac then delt with rookie Ken Roczen and Brock Tickle for the remainder of the Supercross Lites final. Tomac narrowly beat out Roczen for second, with Tickle just inches behind in fourth.

Tomac Continues Podium Streak in Oakland

Photo courtesy Garth Milan/Racer X

Rookie GEICO/AMSOIL/Honda rider Eli Tomac took advantage of a strong start and avoided disaster to land on the podium for the second weekend in row in the Supercross Lites West race Saturday night at the inaugural Monster Energy Supercross event at Oakland Coliseum.

"I was very satisfied to get back on the podium," Tomac said following this third place finish. "Hopefully next weekend it'll all be put it all together and earn my first win.



Tomac's teammates were also able to finish in the top 10 with Kevin Windham seventh in the Supercross main event and Jimmy DeCotis crossing the finish eighth in the Lites West main.

Windham, the lone Team AMSOIL rider in the 450cc class, raced to a seventh place finish during the fourth round of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross series.

"I need to keep pushing myself," Windham said, "but there's a thin line between pushing hard enough to win and pushing so hard that you're going to beat yourself by crashing and not finishing. I've got to figure out that balance."

The next stop on the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross series will be a Feb. 5 return to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., site of the season opener. AMSOIL is the Exclusive Official Oil of Monster Energy Supercross.

Schultz Secures Gold; Martin and Malinoski Also Medal at Winter X

Mike Schultz doesn't let too much affect him these days. Both on, and off, the track, he is moving forward. More often than not, he comes out on the winning end.

Despite losing his left leg during a pro snocross race three years ago, Schultz has adapted to his new role in life and has been busy snatching up X Games medals. This past weekend in Aspen, Schultz added to his growing resume by winning a Winter X Gold Medal in Adaptive Snocross on top of his AMSOIL sponsored Ski Doo.



Also riding a Ski Doo at Winter X Games this past weekend was Team AMSOIL rider Robbie Malinoski. One of the top pro riders in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series, Malinoski had to overcome a poor start in the X Games Snocross final to finish with a bronze medal.

Ross Martin, who rides out of the AMSOIL/Polaris trailer, picked up his second straight silver medal in Aspen. Despite jumping the start, Martin was able to push through the field and into second at the halfway point. Tucker Hibbert won his fifth straight Winter X Gold.

Up next for Martin and Malinoski is round four of the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series in Farmington, N.Y. on February 4-5.

Tomac Gets Great Start In L.A.

Round three of Monster Energy Supercross brought the nationwide tour to Dodger Stadium for the first time last Saturday and Team AMSOIL rider Eli Tomac was looking for his first career podium.

Tomac, who has been riding fast in his rookie supercross campaign but was besieged by poor starts in the first two rounds, was quick on the throttle in Los Angeles. The former Loretta Lynn's Amateur champion started third in the West Coast Lites main and after a few turns had moved into second. From there he would pressure race leader Cole Seely, while being pressured from a handful of riders behind him. While Seely extended his lead, Tomac fought off the competition and picked up his first pro podium.

Tomac's teammate James Decotis finished eighth in the Lites class and Kevin Windham finished sixth in the 450 Supercross class.

Supercross Report From Phoenix

"Racer X Films: Phoenix, Tour of the Pits - Racer X Online"

GEICO/Honda/AMSOIL rider Kevin Windham had big plans for the second stop of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross in Phoenix. Unfortunately for Windham things don't always go as planned.

"I was having a great race," Windham said. "My GEICO Honda was running great. I had a great start but then I got tangled up."

The veteran rider, who is competing in his 17th season, had his 450cc machine off to a strong start in the main event but a crash during lap 12 brought his hopes of winning the race to an end.
"I thought the guy was going to zig, but he zagged," Windham said of the slower lapped traffic he encountered. "I was already in the air and there was nothing I could do about it at that point. It broke the front brake and bent the handlebars of my Honda and that was it for me."

Windham is still hoping to be a major player for the 2011 season and isn't going to let his 19th-place finish in Phoenix ruin his goal of winning the championship.

"That's racing," Windam said, "or at least that's what they tell me. It sure doesn't make it any easier. Tonight was tough but we're going to move on next weekend to LA and hopefully make up for it."

Windham's teammate Eli Tomac ran a very competitive race in the 250cc Lites class, working hard to earn his fifth-place finish.

"Qualifying went really well," Tomac said. "The top of the pack was really tight, and it showed during the main event too."

Tomac's AMSOIL backed teammate was as far back as 11th during the main event but the Supercross rookie was not about to settle for that. He kicked it into high gear and earned every spot on his way up to fifth.

"Unfortunately my start hindered my performance once again," Tomac said. "I definitely know I have more endurance than most of those guys because in the end, when it counted the most, I came on strong."

The rookie is beginning to feel comfortable in the Lites class, and can't wait for the next race to continue improving.

"I feel like I'm totally used to Supercross now," said Tomac, who turned pro last year in the outdoor portion of the season. "No more rookie bugs. I'm ready to come out swinging next weekend."

Replacement rider Jimmy DeCotis' made his debut with the GEICO team at Chase Field and his first race with the team is one that has got everyone in the Lites class looking his way.

"I rode a little tight early in the day," DeCotis said, "but I rode really well in the main, and that's where it really counts. I just have to work on my endurance a little more and we'll be set."

Riding for the injured Wil Hahn, DeCotis earned a seventh-place finish on his 250cc Honda, proving he's not just a replacement rider, he's here to compete.

"I have a great team behind me right now," DeCotis said. "It's going good. We're just going to build on this. I did what I wanted to do and can't wait to get back out here again next race."

The next stop for the Monster Energy Supercross Series is next Saturday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The event will air on CBS this Sunday.

Martin and Malinoski Ride High in Salt Lake City

The AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series brought its traveling show back to the mountains of Utah with a tour stop in Salt Lake City on Saturday.

Inside of Rio Tinto Stadium, the home of the MLS champions Salt Lake Real, Team AMSOIL iders Ross Martin and Robbie Malinoski proved once again they are championship contenders in the Pro classes this season.

In Pro Super Stock, Martin used his smooth racing style to get to the front of the action. As is the custom this season, he would once again battle with Tucker Hibbert for the win. Martin just missed his first win of the year, but finished second to Hibbert. Malinoski also ran a strong race and finished fourth.

In the AMSOIL Pro Open final, Martin literally got stuck on the start as the skis of his Polaris were tangled up with another sled. By the time the two machines were seperated, Martin was a lap down. Malinoski, meanwhile, led for much of the final that went down to the wire. Malinoski finished third for his first podium of the year.

Up next for both both riders is the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby in Eagle River, Wis. this weekend. Racing starts on Thursday.

Round three of the ACSS will air on Versus Sunday, January 23 at 2:00 p.m. CST.

Monster Energy Supercross Opener a Success

In the company's first foray into its Official Oil sponsorship of Monster Energy Supercross, AMSOIL can deem the Anaheim opener a success.

The synthetic lubricant manufacturer headed into the first round with a new look and a new message that it was eager to share with the 45,000 plus fans in attendance at Angels Stadium of Anaheim. "Move up to AMSOIL" was the theme inside the hugely successful Pit Party as fans stormed the gates at 12:30 on Saturday afternoon, looking for the latest in motorcycle racing, news and products.

AMSOIL, which will be giving away a race-ridden Kevin Windham Honda CRF 450 this year, was on hand to work with fans of all interest. (Please note that you must attend a Supercross event to find out how to win.)

"The support of AMSOIL at Anaheim was an excellent start to the new year and the new partnership with Feld Motorsports," said AMSOIL Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer.

Team AMSOIL was also competitive on the track in Anaheim. K-Dub started the Supercross class final in second place and battled with the lead back through the checkered flag, finishing sixth on the night.

Eli Tomac showed off his skill and determination by overcoming a slow start of 19th to finish tenth in the Supercross Lites main on board his Geico/Honda/AMSOIL ride. Wil Hahn was unable to participate after a severe crash during practice.

Monster Energy Supercross and AMSOIL head to Phoenix this Saturday for round two. The entire night of racing will air LIVE on SPEED.

What's New in 2011 For Team AMSOIL

Last week we laid out all of the great things that AMSOIL Racing accomplished in 2010. From the AMSOIL Cup to the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, last year was a very good year of racing and growth for Team AMSOIL.

Now it is time to showcase all of the new opportunities that are coming quickly for Team AMSOIL in 2011.

January is easily our biggest month for unveiling new projects. This weekend actually starts the two biggest ventures for the new year. Supercross is considered the third largest motorsports series in United States. Each year, more than 750,000 fans spin through the gates at the 18-round series to catch dirt bike racing's biggest stars compete. AMSOIL will debut this weekend as the Exclusive Official Oil of the Monster Energy Supercross tour. Along with a longstanding partnership with Factory Connection Racing and top rider Kevin Windham, AMSOIL will be on display at each round of racing and will receive on track and television coverage throughout the year. Each round is aired on either CBS or SPEED. This Saturday's race from Anaheim will air the entire night of coverage live on SPEED.

Kevin Windham Racer X Preview Article

Also getting underway this weekend is the AMA Arenacross Series. Consider this as a lighter version of Supercross. While Supercross plays large venues like Dodgers Stadium, Arenacross heads into smaller arena's like the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. on Saturday night for tight, bar-to-bar racing. AMSOIL is also the Exclusive Official Oil of Arenacross and the entire series will also air on SPEED. Away from racing, AMSOIL will begin working with a fishing show called the Next Bite. The popular fishing show will help AMSOIL get a foothold in the outdoors market. Hall of Famers and industry experts Gary Parson, Keith Kavajecz and Pete Maina will be getting you on more big walleyes and muskies than ever before. The show started airing on the Versus network last week.

AMSOIL continued its support of snowmobile racing with a new partnership this year. The East Coast Snocross series is replacing the old Rock Maple Racing series as the prominent snocross series on the Northeast. The tour has already had a couple of events, and will join its efforts with the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series for a combined event in New York this February.

Until then, make sure to get out to your local track to help support your favorite AMSOIL driver, and we'll see you at the track,

AMSOIL Year in Review

In 2010, AMSOIL pushed past several barriers in both marketing and products. The company introduced successful lines of products, including OE oil and Quickshot. One will open new doors for AMSOIL Dealers, the other will help the power sports industry save their equipment.

Race Marketing also grew in 2010. AMSOIL added the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship, a USAC owned property which brings in nearly 300 races in five different series each year. The coast-to-coast racing property has one of the most storied histories in all of motorsports, with past champions like Bobby Unser and Tony Stewart.

AMSOIL introduced the Inaugural AMSOIL Cup race, which will be held every Labor Day Weekend in Crandon, Wis. The race is the largest off-road, short-course race in the world and AMSOIL driver Scott Douglas pushed his 4x4 Ford across the line for the first win of the new event.

AMSOIL added the GNCC, a cross-country event that hosts ATVs and Dirt Bikes on the same weekend. The eight race season is a true iron man event, with fans lining the course just inches from a screaming bike. The season culminated with the AMSOIL Ironman event in Indiana.

We watched top racers like Trey Canard, Ricky Johnson and Ross Martin win championships this past year. Bob Teague continued to clean-up trophies in off shore power boat circles, as well.

Circle Track Magazine helped push the AMSOIL name across the pages of its magazine with the AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour. Editor Bob Bolles maneuvered his RV to local dirt tracks across America's Southwest, and will do more of the same in 2011.

The Next Bite will help AMSOIL get a foothold in the outdoors market. Hall of Famers and industry experts Gary Parson, Keith Kavajecz and Pete Maina will be getting you on more big walleyes and muskies than ever before.

With everything else we've been working on, including the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series, AMSOIL Dirt Track Series, AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby, Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, the CSRA, ATVA AMX, USCC, Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals presented by AMSOIL, the AMSOIL Sandbox Arena, East Coast Snocross and all of the racers and teams that fall under our awning, you'd think we were busy enough. But 2011 means more adventures for Team AMSOIL, and you'll have to check back on Monday to see what we have up our sleeve for the New Year.


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