Tate and Eckstrom Join Forces with Polaris
 May
17, 2002 Polaris Racing announced today that
the AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports Snocross Team with riders Justin Tate
and D.J. Eckstrom have signed a two-year agreement to use Polaris snowmobiles
in World Snowmobile Association (WSA) competition.
Tate and Eckstrom are two of the top snocrossers in the
world and are very excited about the switch. Joining Polaris is a great
opportunity, and I look forward to having a great season, said Eckstrom.
I know D.J. and I will deliver on Polaris, said Tate. Both drivers will
be training all summer in preparation of the upcoming WSA season.
Polaris
Race Manager, Tom Rager stated, The addition
of D.J. Eckstrom and Justin Tate to Team Polaris
is tremendous.
They not only achieved outstanding
results last year, but they bring with them
a tradition of success in the WSA. Ive had
the pleasure of working with Steve Scheuring,
Justin and D.J. in the past, and am very excited
about this opportunity.
Steve Scheuring,
owner of the AMSOIL//POLARIS/Scheuring Speed
Sports Snocross team said, This is very exciting.
Our history in this sport has helped bring
Snocross to the next level, and were very
confident in the Polaris snowmobiles that
D.J. and Justin will be racing next year.
We believe our partnership with Polaris and
continued partnership with AMSOIL will bring
us continued upward success.
In WSA Snocross
competition this past season, Polaris earned
more podiums and first place finishes than
all the other manufacturers combined.
The addition of Tate and Eckstrom to
the Polaris team greatly enhances the opportunity
to put Polaris in the Winners Circle even
more often in 2002-2003.
