A New Year Sweep

Shakopee, Min. ~ This past weekend's WSA regional race at Canterbury Downs had all the markings of a national event. With the majority of top pros on hand preparing for next week's WSA National, Team AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports made it clear that they did their homework over the Christmas break.

The Pro Stock final feature a little "Showtime". Carl Schubitzke grabbed the holeshot and took the lead. The first-year Team AMSOIL rider lead from start to finish in the eight-lap final and notched his first win of the season. Meanwhile, teammate D.J. Eckstrom got tangled up in the first corner but recovered for a fifth place finish.

In the Pro Open, Eckstrom proved why he is a front-runner for the title this year. He came out of the first corner in second place and took the lead on lap six. He would stay out front through the checkered flag. Schubitzke experienced an electrical failure on the warm-up lap and was unable to start the final.

Eckstrom is currently in second place in the Pro Open field, just two points behind Blair Morgan. In the Pro Stock division, Eckstrom is also in second behind Morgan, while Schubitzke is in sixth.

Team AMSOIL will be back at Canterbury this weekend for round three of the WSA Snocross Nationals. The Pro finals will be Sunday afternoon.
