The AMSOIL Duluth National is just nine days away. The snow is starting to pour onto the track at Spirit Mountain and the teams are making the final adjustments to their sleds. The AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports team has been busy practicing at their Planet X facility in Aurora, Minn. Team owner Steve Scheuring has been making snow for about a month now, and the team has been putting laps on for the past two weeks.
D.J. Eckstrom is looking to win his third straight AMSOIL Duluth National this year. The veteran driver finished third in the Pro Open class in the 2005-06 season. Joining Eckstrom this season on the WPSA circuit will be the exciting Shaun Crapo. Crapo joins Team AMSOIL after spending the past few seasons with Arctic Cat. I visited the team at their race shop this past Tuesday and the excitement level is high, both for the season opener and the entire race season. Everyone is very optimistic for the upcoming year.This new AMSOIL blog will be used throughout the coming months to report and update all Team AMSOIL race fans on how the race teams are doing, big events that are coming up and the latest news from AMSOIL. We will bring a full race report on the AMSOIL Duluth National starting on Friday, November 24, 2006 and will bring you continious coverage throughout the race weekend.
