Team AMSOIL nabs four world championships, BorgWarner Cup
Crandon, Wis. ~ AMSOIL was on full display at the Crandon International Raceway on Labor Day weekend. After the dust settled on Sunday night’s BorgWarner Cup, AMSOIL sponsored drivers had taken home a total of 13 podiums, eights wins, four world championship rings and the BorgWarner Cup.
AMSOIL/Kumho Super Team member Scott Douglas led the charge with a sweep in the Pro-4 class, including Saturday’s World Championship race. The El Cajon-native also took home a second and third in Pro-2 and won the prestigious BorgWarner Cup on Sunday afternoon.
 Fellow Super Team member Mike Oberg picked up his first career win in the Pro-2 class on Saturday. It marked the fourth time Oberg has won a World Championship ring, and he has done it in four different classes. The Eagle River, Wis.native also finished third in Pro-2 on Sunday and was the second Pro-2 truck to cross the finish line in the BorgWarner race. After a strong weekend of racing, Oberg now sits just 17 points out in the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) points race.
“I love Crandon Raceway and nothing is bigger than winning another World Championship ring,” said Oberg. “This absolutely makes my inaugural season in Pro 2 a success. This is the biggest race of the year. Everyone wanted this baby and I am glad to bring it home for AMSOIL, Kumho, Rancho Suspensions and my hometown fans!”
Super Team member Dan Vanden Heuvel (Pro-2) raced a competitive weekend, but steering issues caused him to have to muscle his way around the track both days. Vanden Heuvel finished with a tenth place finish on Sunday.
