Crandon, Wisconsin (September 4, 2006) Amsoil's
Scott Douglas had a career racing weekend capturing two Pro-4
wins and also claiming the elite Borg-Warner Championship
trophy as the most talented racers in off road racing took
to the famed track at Crandon, Wisconsin. Douglas put his
Amsoil/Khumo Pro-4 in the winner's circle after driving to
perfection all weekend long.
The mood of the Borg-Warner Championship race
was marred by a wild crash in turn one at the Crandon International
Raceway involving fan favorite, Johnny Greaves. Traveling
at nearly 100 miles an hour, Greaves bicycled his Toyota Tundra
up on the two left wheels and flipped wildly over and over
and over. Greaves was later rushed to the hospital with unidentified
injuries. Greaves Motorsports Public Relations Manager, Mitch
Covington, will provide details at a later date.
Finishing in second position in the Borg-Warner
Championship Shootout was Carl Renezeder and third was Monster
Energy Drink's super phenom, Jerry Whelchel.
Whelchel put his #41 Monster Energy / Wide Open
Baja sponsored race truck up front early and ran hard throughout
the race. Facing the charge from the four wheel drive Pro-4
class, Whelchel outdueled many other drivers with a grand
performance.

Championships With Two Big Wins

Pro-Lite to dual 2nd Place Finishes

Pro-Lite Winner- Rodrigo Ampudia
Mexican racer, Rodrigo Ampudia wasted no time
charging to the front of the pack in the wild Pro-Lite race
as he doubled up his wins this weekend capturing victory on
both Saturday and Sunday.
Ampudia battled with fellow rookie, Robert Naughton,
who finished second on both days. Naughton, a fearless racer,
whose privateer efforts have seen him take an outdated truck
to the podium three times so far this season, is a serious
factor to win any race he enters.
After a wild crash on Saturday, Chad Hord came
back and put together a great performance that saw him finish
on the podium in third position. Hord credited his crew for
their dedication in putting his truck back together working
until 4:00 a.m.
Jeff Kincaid suffered an onboard fire that sidelined
him after only two laps. 2004 CORR Pro-Lite Champion - Kyle
LeDuc rolled his Skyjacker Pro-Lite as he tried to pass Robert
Naughton in the Argon loop. That crash slowed LeDuc enough
that he was never able to get back on the leap lap.

Sportsman 2 Winner- Dan Baudoux
In a wreck marred race that took out the #296
Sportsman-2 truck of Bob Gersmehl, Dan Baudoux roared to victory
in an eight lap run after the Gersmehl crash.
The big wreck occurred in turn two near the
Ford Truck barn. More details later.
Renezeder Dominates Pro-2 Victory
DirtNewz Staff -
Carl Renezeder Pro-2 Winner
Round 12 started with an incredible run for
the 17 Pro-2 trucks as they battled gingerly in the first
turn at 90 miles per hour. Leading the group of the nation's
top drivers was the Skyjacker sponsored Scott Taylor who runs
Rousch Racing engine power. However, that all changed when
Taylor, after he roared to the lead in the first five laps,
unexpectedly pulled off the course.
Renezeder pulled out to the front and never
looked back taking the Nissan / Lucas Oil Titan truck to victory
lane once again!
Finishing in second position wasthe # 7 Rancho/Amsoil
truck of Scott Douglas. In third it was Mike Oberg who outlasted
Monster Energy Drink's Jerry Whelchel in his bid for the podium.
Whelchel had got around Oberg in the final two turns, however
as Whelchel approached the finish line he lost his left rear
tire, which allowed Oberg to retake the third position position
and reach the podium for the second time in as many days.

Leduc.
