Douglas Motorsports Wins in Texas

Douglas Motorsports Wins Round 9 at Texas Motor Speedway

El Cajon, CA (October 23, 2007) - Douglas Motorsports traveled to  
Texas Motor Speedway looking for the win that has eluded the team  
throughout the 2007 Championship Off-Road Racing Season. Scott Douglas  
and his team have worked extremely hard, competing in two racing  
series, taking the team to locations throughout the country.

Before the weekend, Scott was in second place in the CORR PRO-4 points  
championship, with his sights set on the top spot.

This weekend would be the final qualifier for the Baldwin Cup. The top  
six in the six race Baldwin Qualifier Series automatically make the  
field for the $66,000 winner take all shootout in Nevada. A strong  
finish would guarantee him a spot.

The stop in Texas had CORR competitors racing on the shortest track of  
the year. The .8 mile track was built on and in the half-mile high  
bank clay oval at Texas Motor Speedway. Along with the jumps and bumps  
of the track, getting a handle on the clay surface seemed to be the  
greatest challenge for the competitors. The clay held the moisture  
very well, keeping the dust and mud to a minimum, but it made for a  
very slick race track.

Friday Qualifying
The PRO-4 qualifying session saw much of the field record very close  
lap times. Scott Douglas stopped the timers in sixth position. After  
the session, the start inversion was drawn, inverting the top six  
qualifiers. This put Scott Douglas and his #7 AMSOIL Kumho Tire Sycuan  
Resort & Casino Ford F-150 on the pole.

Friday ? CORR Round 9
The rolling start saw Scott take the lead, with the rest of the field  
battling for position. Then several racers tangled halfway through the  
first lap. This caused CORR to call for a restart. Undaunted, Scott  
brought the field back to the green flag, and once again took the  
lead. Scott powered his way to a flag to flag victory. It was Scott?s  
first CORR PRO-4 victory of the year.

?You had to be so smooth tonight,? commented Scott Douglas. ?You  
wanted to mash the throttle so hard; the corners were so slick you  
couldn?t. No matter who was close, you had to roll it on, be easy, up  
shift, and then when you felt the bite, get on the throttle. You had  
to keep feeling for the bite and it?s the hardest thing when you got  
guys breathing down your neck.?
?The slick track was really hard to get a handle on. We ran with very  
little grooving on our Kumho tires and put a harder compound on the  
right rear. We knew that it would give up some speed. The softer  
compound is so much faster, but you need to have something at the end.  
That?s what made the difference for us. The Kumho?s looked beat up,  
but we still had a lot of tire left at the finish.?

Saturday ? PRO-4 Baldwin Qualifier
Qualifying saw the #7 AMSOIL Kumho Tire Ford F-150 cross the scoring  
beam fifth fastest.

The twenty two lap event saw Scott gradually work his way up to second  
place. The final five laps a battle between Scott and #17 Renezeder  
began to unfold. On the last lap, Renezeder squeezed by to the  
runner-up spot, with Scott Douglas right behind in third.

?This was an important race for us,? commented Scott Douglas. ?The  
podium finish automatically puts us in the field for the Baldwin Cup.?  
I knew Carl was back there, but I knew we had one more race, and I  
didn?t want to tear up the truck. If there wasn?t another race today,  
I would have battled harder, with Carl, for the position.?


Saturday ? CORR Round 10
The final race of the weekend ended early for Scott. The first lap of  
the race saw an overabundant amount of bumping and banging. The #7  
AMSOIL Kumho Tire Ford F-150 was a victim of that contact. About  
halfway through the first lap, Curt LeDuc made hard contact with the  
left rear corner of the AMSOIL Ford. This resulted in a broken  
suspension member ending the weekend for Douglas Motorsports.

An extremely frustrated Scott Douglas couldn?t believe what happened.  
?This isn?t the first time with LeDuc, he didn?t even get a black  
flag,? stated Scott Douglas. ?This probably ended our chances at the  
PRO-4 title.?

After ten rounds of racing in the CORR PRO-4 Championship, Scott  
Douglas is tied for second place thirty-four points behind the leader.

The final standings in the Jason Baldwin Cup Qualifier Series, Scott  
Douglas finished in sixth position. This puts Douglas Motorsports in  
the field for the $66,000 winner take all event.

The final two rounds of Championship racing as well as the Jason  
Baldwin Memorial Cup will be held at Las Vegas International Off-Road  
Raceway in Primm, Nevada.

NBC Sports will broadcast the Texas Baldwin Cup Qualifying Rounds on  
October 28, from 2:30pm to 4pm ? Eastern Time.
