Autumn Woods Driver Makes Winning Run
Tough Truck team boasts two in top ten
Springfield,
Mo. ~ Not even the wet weather could dampen Team
AMSOIL driver Ricky Brantley’s second weekend of driving for Autumn Woods
Racing. The rain-soaked weather challenged all of the competitors at last
weekend’s 4-Wheel Jamboree in Springfield, Mo.
Saturday’s qualifying was
done on a wet course, which offered slick corners to Brantley and teammate Jeff
Dedick. Despite the mud, Dedick took the number one qualifying time, with
Brantley in third.
On Sunday, the clouds
parted and it was Brantley’s time to shine. The first year Autumn Woods’ driver
dominated his head-to-head races, storming through the brackets. He landed in
the finals against Lionel Easler and came out victorious. Dedick, meanwhile,
lost his 4-wheel drive during one of his races and was sent home early for the
day. Autumn Woods Racing will be in action again at the Lima, Ohio event May 19
and 20.
#2 Car on the Road Again
Spring tune-up swings into summer heat
Attica,
Ohio ~ After a weekend off to ready their equipment
for the busy month of May, the Brady Smith Racing Team will log some miles this
weekend to compete in a pair of dirt late model events. The Solon Springs, Wis.
based team will invade the famed Knoxville Raceway this Friday, for a World Dirt
Racing League (WDRL) Series event. Smith was the 2004 WDRL Champion and Rookie
of the Year.
The team will then drive
overnight to compete in a NARA Late Model Dirt Series event at the Tazewell
Speedway in Tazewell, Tenn. on Saturday. A full slate of qualifying, heat
races, consolation events, and the 50-lap, $10,000 to win A-Main is on tap at
the track known as the “Taz.”
Smith is currently 12th in
the latest version of the NARA point standings and is second in the Rookie of
the Year battle heading into Saturday night’s race at the ultra-fast, 1/4-mile
Volunteer State oval.
AMSOIL Returns As Official ChampBoat Oil For
2006!
Savannah,
Ga. – The ChampBoat Series, North America’s premiere series for speed and
excitement on the water, has formally announced that AMSOIL INC. will once again
be the official oil of the ChampBoat Grand Prix Series.
“We are extremely excited
to have AMSOIL step up its partnership with the ChampBoat Grand Prix Series. It
demonstrates their commitment to premium performance and value just like AMSOIL
products,” stated Mike Schriefer of the ChampBoat Series.
The announcement came at a
gala celebration in conjunction with the ChampBoat Series concluding event in
Savannah, Georgia at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort last Friday. Series
champion driver Terry Rinker of Tampa, Florida was on hand in his Rinker/AMSOIL
sponsored boat giving demonstration laps for the large media turnout on the
Savannah River for November’s season finale announcement.
“We love AMSOIL products
and the performance gains were significant towards our 2005 championship,”
stated Rinker. “We couldn’t have a better sponsor partner than AMSOIL, and I’m
excited about working with them as we march toward hopefully another title in
2006.”
“AMSOIL has a perfect
relationship with ChampBoat,” said AMSOIL Race Coordinator Jeremy Meyer.
“First, we have had the top driver two of the past three years in Terry Rinker.
His drive in and out of the boat is a great match for AMSOIL. Secondly, and
certainly not least, AMSOIL is proud to partner up as the Official Oil of
ChampBoat again this season. The sport is the ideal proving ground for our
products. ChampBoat is also growing and we are excited to be part of that
growth.”
AMSOIL Adds USMTS As Official Oil For 2006
Superior, Wis. –
Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) revealed today
that AMSOIL – the world leader in synthetic motor oils and lubricants – has been
named the “Official Oil of the USMTS” as part of a new marketing partnership
between the two automotive and motorsports icons.
“We are extremely pleased to announce AMSOIL as a new major marketing partner to
our network of corporate supporters,” said O’Reilly USMTS Communications
Director Jeff Nun. “Our relationship with AMSOIL is further evidence of AMSOIL’s
commitment to motorsports, and helps the O’Reilly USMTS uphold our pledge to
give racers and fans the most competitive and exciting racing show on dirt.”
In addition to contributing to the season-ending O’Reilly USMTS point’s fund,
AMSOIL will also sponsor the newly created AMSOIL Lap Leader Award. As such,
AMSOIL will award $1,000 to the O’Reilly USMTS driver who leads the most “A”
main laps during the rugged 2006 racing season.
“AMSOIL continues to outpace the competition,” said AMSOIL Race Coordinator,
Jeremy Meyer. “The USMTS showcases some of the best modified racers in the
world. This relationship with the USMTS as the official oil bolsters the AMSOIL
reputation that it is committed to America's dirt tracks, its racers and its
fans.”
AMSOIL products will be available pit-side to USMTS drivers at several events
during the 2006 season. AMSOIL is already track-tested with the Series, however,
as Kelly Shryock used AMSOIL to help carry him to his seventh straight O’Reilly
USMTS national championship in 2005.
