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.
Rac
e 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,

Lovell Racing Fights Back For Podium Finish
Brad and Roger Lovell combined to enter and race in 27 events in 2010 and recently hit their 11th event in as many weeks. From rock racing to the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, the brothers accomplished quite a bit this summer. The last event, however, returned the Colorado natives to their roots: rock crawling. The We-Rock Grand Nationals were hosted by Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Brad Lovell guided the #232 AMSOIL/Ford Ranger around the highly technical course with the complete
confidence in Roger’s guidance. On the first course, the truck got wedged into a notch and twisting the drive shaft. They were able to finish the course, but more bad luck found them on the second course. This time, the #232 found itself on its hood after a carefully planned maneuver went wrong. Despite early troubles, they duo found their confidence and scored the lowest on four of the next six courses.
Heading into the final round in fourth and had to have a perfect run to get back into podium contention. The first two sets of gates were an insane cross-sloped hump that already spilled two trucks down the rocks. The Lovell's were forced to formulate a plan on the fly and narrowly perched the Ranger on top of a tall slope. They then shimmied clear of the cones and let the BFG's grab hold and not let go when just an inch of slip would have rolled the truck 20’ down the course. They got back on track and 
climbed from eighth to finish third and received another Torchmate constructed trophy for the effort.
"It wasn’t the repeat championship that we hoped for but a strong finish and a positive end to the season," said Brad Lovell. "I feel privileged to have raced all over the country in a wide variety of disciplines – desert, rock racing, hillclimbs, short course, and rockcrawling. In fact, my mind is still racing with crashes, near misses, and plenty of zero gravity moments. I am very grateful and humbled to all those who helped our team."
The team does have one more event to go in 2010. Brad will be heading south of the border for the Baja 1000 in mid-November, navigating the Torchmate/AMSOIL Class 7 truck in the epic race from Ensenada to La Paz.

Douglas Shines In Chicago; Team AMSOIL Readies for AMSOIL Cup
AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas moved closer to a season points championship while Pro 2wd driver Chad Hord returned to the podium in an exciting two days of racing at the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL at Chicagoland Speedway last week.
Douglas picked up a pair of second place finishes in the Pro 4x4 class. Douglas, who was driving with a U.S. flag in his truck that had been flown during missions in the Middle East (see video below), capitalized on the points leaders bad luck each night to move to just seven points out of first place with just two rounds of racing left in the 2010 season.
Hord, meanwhile, battled Red Bull/AMSOIL driver Ricky Johnson to the finish line on Thursday night. While Hord just missed the win, but finished second to follow-up his fourth place finish on Wednesday night. The Upper Michigan driver now sits fourth overall in the points standings and is the top Pro 2 rookie this season.
Up next for the series is the final weekend of racing at the Big House and the Inaugural AMSOIL Cup. The AMSOIL Cup race will take place on Sunday night at the Crandon International Raceway (Wis.)and will feature the sports top Pro 4x4 and Pro 2wds in a winner take all format.
The Traxxas TORC Series will also be airing the first HD Theatre show of the season on Thursday night at 8:00 pm EST and 11:00 pm EST for the West Coast audience. Check with your cable or satellite service provider for channel information and availability.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
