AMSOIL, Off-Road Racing and NBC

Official Oil partnership puts AMSOIL live on network television

AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas will be surrounded by High Definition NBC and SPEED Channel cameras in 2008.

In the early winter months of 2005, AMSOIL set out on a mission to become the top motor oil company in Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR). That year saw the emergence of the AMSOIL/Kumho Tires Super Team, a group of the sport's premiere short-course off-road racers. The AMSOIL drivers began stockpiling wins and podium finishes and challenged the biggest names in the sport for the championship crown.

Long-time AMSOIL-sponsored driver Mike Oberg, the 2006 CORR Rookie of the Year, will make a full-time return to the series this year. The Eagle River, Wis. native will be a major contender in the Pro 2 class and will be looking to get his hands back on the Jason Baldwin Memorial Cup that he won in the winner-take-all final race of 2006. Oberg is one of only two men ever to drive a twowheel drive truck to a win in a "Cup" race that also features a full field of Pro 4 (4wd) trucks.

"AMSOIL has been great for our program the past few years," says Oberg. "Our goal is to return to CORR and win a championship. The sport is growing and there are a lot of new faces on the starting line, but we've won there before and we'll win there again."
