AMSOIL Late Model Series

Interview with AMSOIL Late Model Racer Pat Doar
Story from DirtHeadquarters.com 5/26/2005
After the first night of the Cedar Lake Speedways Opener Special, I had the opportunity to meet with Pat Doar. I have always had great respect for Doar, simply because of his ability to pilot his number 11 late model like no other.

AMSOIL Late Model Racer Pat DoarThe main topic I wanted to cover was his thoughts on the Cedar Lake Speedway’s decision to introduce the “Super Late Model division.” There are many people that feel this decision will break Cedar Lake Speedway and others that feel strongly it is one of the best changes that has happened to dirt late models. I myself am neutral on this topic. My opinion is that the late model drivers will make the decision. No one really knows what will happen until the late model drivers decide whether to race at Cedar Lake on a weekly basis without earning Wissota National points or to stick with Wissota rules.

DirtHeadquarters.com: “Do you think the decision by Cedar Lake to run a Super Late Model division sponsored by Goodyear was a wise move or will it hurt Cedar Lake?”

Doar:
“I have a lot of mixed feelings on the topic, but I do like the new payout that was put into effect for the Super Late Model Series.”

DirtHeadquarters.com: “Do you think that it will gain more cars for Cedar Lake?”

Doar:
“I am unsure whether it will gain more cars or not. There are pluses and minuses and it will depend on how everyone reacts to the changes made.”

DirtHeadquarters.com: “What are your thoughts on the actual race track here at Cedar Lake Speedway?”

Doar:
“I love this track. I have turned more laps here then anywhere. I am sure that fans and other drivers can tell how much I like this track as well because of the way I drive here.”

DirtHeadquarters.com: “Are you planning on racing at Cedar Lake on a regular basis?”

Doar:
“I only live 6 miles from the track and with the price of fuel now, I plan to run here as much as I can. I will be going to a great number of specials throughout the 2005 season.”

DirtHeadquarters.com: “Do you plan to run for the Wissota National Championship during the 2005 season?”

Doar:
“I am not planning on running just for the Wissota National Championship. When I won the National Championship I did not plan to run for it then. I just looked at the points one day and realized that I was doing very well and everything just fell together after that.”

DirtHeadquarters.com: “At the beginning of the 2005 season you ran a red mastersbuilt, I am sure that everyone has noticed that you ran a black car at Cedar Lake tonight. Is this the same car and just a different body, or is this a completely different car?”

Doar:
(Smiling) "This is a completely different car. This car is a 2002 mastersbuilt. I did not have good luck with my new car so I thought I would bring this car to Cedar Lake for the opener and it paid off for me. This car that we ran tonight has over 100 shows on it!”
