Douglas Wins Again
AMSOIL Super Team driver takes victory in Pro-4
Chula Vista, Calif. ~ AMSOIL/Kumho Tires Super Team driver Scott Douglas has been one of the hottest Pro-4 drivers in the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) Series in the second half of the 2006 season. The El Cajon, Calif. native backed up his elite status with another win in the four-wheel drive class on Saturday on the final weekend of the 2006 season in Chula Vista, Calif.
Douglas, who is in his first season on the AMSOIL/Kumho Tires Super Team, led from start to finish during Saturday’s Pro-4 race. The ten-time world champion picked up his fourth Pro-4 win of the year and his eighth Pro-4 podium of the season. Douglas also finished fourth in the four-wheel drive class on Sunday. His strong second half surge pushed the BorgWarner Champion into third in the final CORR standings, just three points away from second.
“Saturday’s win was great for our entire crew,” said Douglas. “We had some fuel issues in qualifying and our crew got it all figured out and put this AMSOIL/Kumho Tires Pro-4 in the winner’s circle. We had some early crashes and we still figuring out this new truck at the beginning of the year, but my crew worked hard and they got this Ford F-150 dialed in for the stretch run.”
Douglas also ran in the competitive Pro-2 class in 2006. He was able to pick up four podiums, including one win and finished the season fourth overall. Super Team member Mike Oberg missed the season title by two points after racking up six podiums and one win in 2006. Teammate Dan Vanden Heuvel also picked up two podiums this season and finished the season 12th overall. Rookie driver Dan Vanden Heuvel, Jr. competed in the Pro-Lite class and had two top five finishes and ended eleventh in the final standings.
