MOPAR'S MOHLER LOOKS TO REPEAT MOPAR MOUNTAIN MADNESS
TITLE
June 9, 2005
Center Line, Mich. - Team Mopar hotshoe Scott Mohler is hoping that history
will repeat itself as he enters the Mopar Mountain Madness event at Bandimere
Speedway on June 11-12. Mohler took the NHRA Pro All Motor Division victory on
the mountain in 2004, and the Mohler Motorsports team will seek not only an
event win, but its first win of the 2005 season this weekend.
"We're very confident heading into this event," Mohler said. "'We've worked
very hard to prepare for this season, and we think we've got the car figured
out. The elevation of Bandimere Speedway will definitely present some
challenges, but we've taken the steps we'll need to be in the thick of things this
weekend."
Mohler will also bring a new team to the Mopar Mountain Madness event, as he
is piloting his Mopar Dodge SRT4 for Mohler Motorsports this season. A victory
for the newly formed team at this weekend's event would be an outstanding way
to mark its first season under the Mopar banner.
"Getting a second straight win in the Mopar Mountain Madness event would be
very special, especially since this is our first year for Mohler Motorsports
and running our own equipment," Mohler said. "I think it would be a great way to
justify all of the trials and tribulations that we've gone through this
season. A win this weekend would really be a breakthrough for us."
Mopar's NHRA Sport Compact Drag Racing aces, Shaun Carlson and Mike Crawford,
will join Mohler at Bandimere Speedway as he defends his 2004 Mopar Mountain
Madness Pro All Motor division title. Crawford will take on the Pro Hot Rod
division for Darrell Cox Racing, and Carlson's NuFormz Racing will make a run at
the Pro FWD division title for Team Mopar.
