A Busy Weekend Ahead for Team AMSOIL

January is quickly becoming one of the busiest months for the AMSOIL Race Department, and this upcoming weekend is no different.

The 48th running of the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby starts on Thursday in Eagle River, Wis. The largest, and most popular ice oval race in the world will crown a new champion on Sunday afternoon. Will AMSOIL rider P.J. Wanderscheid take home a record fourth title? You can watch live at the AMSOIL Derby Track website.

Also on tap for the weekend will be round two of the Monster Energy Supercross. Team AMSOIL riders Kevin Windham and Eli Tomac will look for a win at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. The entire night of racing will once again air live on SPEED.

the AMA Arenacross will host a bevvy of riders and fans in Kansas City, Mo. January 15-16. Jeff Gibson took the opening round win in Tulsa and will be hard pressed with riders as skilled as Tyler Bowers and Chad Johnson breathing down his tailpipe.

Finally, the United States Cross Country series heads into its second round of racing in 2011. The Grand Cities 500 will take place in Grand Forks, N.D.

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

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.

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,

AURORA, Ill. (November 16, 2010) – Feld Motor Sports℠ announced today that AMSOIL INC., based in Superior, Wis., signed a multi-year agreement to be the official and exclusive oil of the AMA Arenacross Series, which begins January 8, 2011 at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.
