A Pro Stock Podium Finish for Eckstrom Eckstrom Debuts New Open Sled, Finishes Second on Old Stock One
Brooklyn, Michigan ~ Michigan International Speedway is home to great racing, notably NASCAR, but last weekend the World Snowmobile Association took its turn and turned laps there. The AMSOIL/Polaris/Scheuring Speed Sports team turned heads when it unveiled a prototype Polaris "Mod" snowmobile. DJ Eckstrom rode the one-of-a-kind sled to spectacular qualifying finishes. Clearly Eckstrom and the new machine were the combination to beat. An unfortunate collision with another competitor forced Eckstrom off the track in the final. Eckstrom made amends in Pro Stock. Riding his regular sled Eckstrom captured second place in the final. It was his second consecutive podium finish in the class and it moves him amongst the leaders vying for a championship. He continues to chase the Pro Open title, too. He's currently third overall. Team AMSOIL teammate Justin Tate finished fourth in Pro Stock. He's eighth overall. A mechanical problem kept Tate from the Pro Open final, but he remains seventh in overall points. There are two WSA events still on the schedule. Round nine is set for the hallowed "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field March 5-7. It will be the first non-football event held in the famed stadium Villeneuve Finishes Second in Oval Championships
Oval ice racing is terrible demanding on man and machine. As drivers lean into turns at tremendous speeds, great stress is put on the snowmobiles. Villeneuve finished the 2003 season second in Eastern Pro Tour standings. He had seven podium results on the year. • Click to Request Free Product Catalog and Information • Click for Information on Becoming an AMSOIL Dealer • To Sell AMSOIL in Your Store or Purchase for use in Your Business Equipment
