September 6, 2006
For immediate release
El Cajon, CA

Douglas Motorsports  - PRO-4 #7 AMSOIL ?Super Team? Rancho Suspension  
Kumho Tire Ford F-150

AMSOIL PRO-4 ?Super Team? Three Peats at the BorgWarner World Championships



As Scott Douglas and his PRO-4 #7 AMSOIL  ?Super Team Rancho  
Suspension Kumho Tire Ford F-150 headed to Crandon, the team was  
looking to back up their recent win at Bark River. ?When we come to  
Crandon, everyone brings their ?A? game. When you win at the ?Big  
House? you have won against the best short-course drivers in the  
world,? commented Scott Douglas.

Round 11 ? BorgWarner PRO-4
Scott Douglas lined up in the second position for the traditional land  
rush start. When the green flag fell, #11 Adrian Cenni won the race to  
Potawatomi Turn One with Scott right on his bumper. Just about halfway  
through the opening lap, Scott made a clean pass on Cenni to grab the  
lead. From that point on Scott never looked back. The remaining eight  
laps saw Douglas stay out front giving the #7 AMSOIL ?Super Team?  
PRO-4 its second victory of the year. The win in Round 11 gives Scott  
Douglas the 2006 World Championship PRO-4 title. As winner of this  
round of racing, Scott is awarded the unique 2006 World Championship  
ring.

?This truck, this team, this win is just awesome. The AMSOIL ?Super  
Team? Rancho Suspension Kumho Tire Ford F-150 is fast and just won?t  
quit. Our engine temperature was near 300 degrees, but with AMSOIL in  
the engine, there?s nothing to worry about. To win here, is just  
incredible. The Kumho Tires allows us to use all the power our  
ProPower engine has to give. The Rancho Suspension keeps the truck  
flying straight and fast through the corners? I also want thank all  
the great fans in Crandon, without them we wouldn?t be here,? said  
Scott Douglas.


Round 12 ? North Lights Casino PRO-4
The land rush start saw Scott fly down the front straightaway,  
grabbing the lead coming out of Turn One. In hot pursuit were Josh  
Baldwin and Carl Renezeder. Once again the #7 AMSOIL  ?Super Team  
Rancho Suspension Kumho Tire Ford F-150 was running perfect. Midway  
through the race, Scott built up a seven second lead. As the race  
wound down, Renezeder made a final charge, but once again, the  
competition couldn?t over take Scott for the win.

?I can?t believe it, two in a row,? stated Scott Douglas. ?Last night  
the changes the crew made on the cooling system really worked well and  
were back here celebrating again. Two weeks ago we asked Kumho for a  
different compound and a deeper groove and they really came through.  
The team has been really fine-tuning this truck and now it?s really  
beginning to show. Hat?s off to all the guys at the shop and here at  
the track.?

Scott Douglas had conquered Crandon back-to-back. Suddenly the  
question on everyone?s mind was, ?Could Douglas out run the Toyota?s  
of Greaves and Huseman for the Shootout??

12th Annual BorgWarner World Championship Manufacturers? Shootout
This unique event pits PRO-2 (two wheel drive) against PRO-4 (four  
wheel drive) trucks in a 10-lap shootout. The winner of the event can  
take home over $25,000 in less than 15 minutes. The eight PRO-2 trucks  
get a quarter mile head start on the sixteen PRO-4 trucks.

When the green flag dropped, the roar of the twenty-four, 800+  
horsepower trucks put the standing room only crowd into a cheering  
frenzy. By the third lap Scott Douglas had passed most of the PRO-2  
trucks and looking to get around Taylor and Whelchel for the lead. The  
fourth lap saw Scott Douglas take the lead for good.  Quickly Scott  
was able to build a small cushion over second place as Whelchel and  
Renezeder banged one another round. Eventually Renezeder made the pass  
stick, but by then Scott and his #7 AMSOIL  ?Super Team Rancho  
Suspension Kumho Tire Ford F-150 was well out in front. When the  
checkered flag fell, Scott Douglas became the second two-time winner  
of this prestigious event.

?This win puts Kumho, AMSOIL, Rancho and our other sponsors on the  
off-road racing map in a big way. A special thanks to the companies  
that have supported us all these years like including Rancho, DynoMax,  
Tenneco, Ford Trucks, KC HiLites, Reider Racing, Precision Gear. I  
can?t forget to thank BorgWarner for supporting this event, and  
building incredible products. When we won ten years ago, we ran a  
BorgWarner transfer case, and we still do to this day! Without their  
support we wouldn?t be here today.?

?This has been a dream weekend. On the podium five times in one  
weekend. Not just any race weekend, but at Crandon for the BorgWarner  
Off-Road Championships.?

?I can?t forget to thank Gus Frank and everyone at Potawatomi Northern  
Lights Casino. The support of this race facility and the surrounding  
community makes possible for all of us to enjoy competing and watching  
the sport that we love.? ? comments from Scott Douglas.
