Douglas, Hord and Jenkins will compete
in the Traxxas Troop vs. Pro Challenge
Presented by AMSOIL.

Team AMSOIL TORC Series off-road drivers Scott Douglas, Chad Hord and Mike Jenkins are heading to the Middle East for a special salute and thank-you to the U.S. Armed Forces. The tour, organized in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment, AMSOIL and Traxxas, will feature a fun and interactive radio-controlled off-road challenge between the TORC drivers and troops. Each stop at a U.S. Military base will feature the Traxxas Troop vs. Pro Challenge presented by AMSOIL, where troops will race Traxxas Slash 4x4s on the challenging custom-built “Traxxas Try-Me Track.” Douglas, Hord and Jenkins will act as driver-coaches to service members competing in the races, with the winners taking on the pros in head-to-head competition.

“Whenever we can add a fun ‘downtime’ activity to one of our tours it leads to a more successful mission,” said Rob Powers, founder of American300 Warrior Tours, the nonprofit organization that has worked to bring the TORC pros and sponsors to Armed Forces Entertainment. “Our organizational mission is to increase the resiliency of our troops, their families and the communities that they live and operate in by assisting the DoD’s Armed Forces Entertainment department with unique and exciting programming. The Traxxas Radio-Controlled Troop vs. Pro races are all about bringing America’s best to our service men and women and having a great time.”

Douglas will be bringing a custom “Desert Tan Troop Hood,” which he will have signed by the troops and then install on his #7 AMSOIL Ford truck for this year’s AMSOIL Cup race on September 4 in Crandon, Wis.

Tour officials will provide daily updates during their trip as the pros prepare and travel on their military adventure. The drivers will be using their Twitter feeds to keep fans up-to-date, and AMSOIL will air video recaps of the trip in early April. Follow the tour at http://www.amsoilracing.com/.

“The show is about my dream of becoming a Superbike Champion. Actually, it’s our dream," said Pegram. "My parents have been helping me race motorcycles since I was a kid and they’re still here at every race working on the crew. My mechanics are the best and are so committed to this team. They do as much if not more than teams who have twice the manpower. We even have sponsors that after writing the check, help out on the weekends working in the pits. It’s definitely a family effort and we’re real proud of what we have accomplished going up against the factory teams. It’s not easy but all of us are chasing our dream.”

AMSOIL Partners with Erik Buell Racing

Cycle World's First Looks: Erik Buell Racing EBR 1190RS

Buy Amsoil Motorcycle Oil here

AMSOIL has reached an agreement with Erik Buell Racing LLC that includes development and supply of production lubricants for the new EBR motorcycles and a three-year sponsorship of the EBR race team in AMA Pro Superbike competition.

"AMSOIL is a great story of American engineering and entrepreneurship, and we are very proud that they recognize similar characteristics in our new motorcycle company and have chosen to work with us," said Erik Buell. "They were the first company to introduce synthetic oils to the consumer market, and have become recognized throughout the industry as a leader in lubrication technology."

"We are very impressed with the development process, level of integrity and technical expertise with which AMSOIL approaches their products,” said John Fox, EBR engineering director. “They have a really strong internal technical team and also use independent third party firms to check their products against the competition on a regular basis to make sure they know where they stand. Their commitment to continuous improvement is exemplary."

"AMSOIL is very happy to be involved with EBR with their new street motorcycles,” said AMSOIL Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer. “We saw a great match in the way they are using the extreme world of racing to push their new 1190 to the maximum so they can be sure it will be over-built for street use. That is what we have done for so many years at AMSOIL. Our company’s founder came from the world of fighter aircraft, and has always driven us to push the extremes of performance."

The EBR/AMSOIL #99 AMA Superbike race team will feature rider Geoff May. The team will start at Daytona using last season’s Buell 1125RR model, and expects to debut the race-prepared version of the new EBR 1190RS at Infineon in May.
