Oberg Motorsports Begins Sophomore CORR Season in PRO-2

Oberg Motorsports Begins Sophomore CORR Season in PRO-2

Eagle River, WI (April 17, 2008) - Oberg Motorsports is ready for the  
upcoming 2008 Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) season. Mike Oberg  
and Crew Chief/Chief Mechanic Cory Lambert, have been putting in long  
hours at the shop in Eagle River, getting the #80 PRO-2 ready to do  
battle.  ?We?re starting the season with the same chassis that Keith  
Stamper built new two seasons ago.? says Mike Oberg team owner/driver.  
?Within the next couple of weeks we hope to have a brand new  
Stamper-built PRO-2 ready as a back-up. We are going after nothing  
other than a PRO-2 Championship and we are going to be prepared for  
anything they can throw at us.?

The Oberg Team has competed in PRO-2/PRO-2WD (CORR/WSORR) for the last  
two seasons and has come in second both times. In the first shot at  
that PRO-2 Championship, Mike was named PRO Rookie of the Year, the  
World Champion at Crandon, and won the inaugural running of the ?Jason  
Baldwin Memorial Cup.?

?This team has what it takes to win the championship and we?ve proven  
that time and time again?, says Mark ?Gilly? Gelhausen Team Manager  
and Promotional Director, ?We?ve just got to find that little extra  
edge to push us over the top.?

That edge we are looking for is having great people and companies  
standing beside us. ?No one can ask for better support than what we  
get from our top supporter AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants,? says Oberg.  
?They go above and beyond anything we ever could have expected. The  
products they make are phenomenal.? Oberg Motorsports has proven the  
durability of the AMSOIL products. When other teams have fallen out  
due to motor problems, the Oberg team has never lost a motor. In fact,  
the entire 2007 season was completed using only one motor and it was  
never even freshened.

?The guys at Pro Power were astonished at how well that motor held up.  
They are now telling other teams to use AMSOIL,? says Oberg. ?Heck  
Roger Harrison of J&H Transmission, has told us over and over to never  
use anything other than that AMSOIL in the tranny?. AMSOIL has also  
been named the ?Official Oil of CORR?.

The team also receives great support from Kumho Tires. Oberg  
Motorsports has been competing on Kumho Tires since the 2002 season.  
?Ed Cercek and his guys are on site each weekend,? states Oberg. ?You  
can?t ask for a better group to work with. We have worked with other  
tire companies over the years but not one compares to Kumho.? Kumho  
came into this sport strong and has won many races and championships.  
The Oberg Motorsports uses Kumho Tires on all of its vehicles and is  
pleased with the performance and durability.

Also new for 2008 is a newly revamped AMSOILl/Kumho Super Team. The  
two-member team consisting of Oberg and Douglas Motorsports, is going  
to start the season with a new color scheme. ?This is a new beginning  
for the teams, so a complete makeover has been done on the trucks. The  
transporter will be leaving the shop today sporting new paint and  
graphics as well. Working with Scott and Jackie Douglas of Douglas  
Motorsports, has been great all around and it?s easy being teammates  
when we?re friends off the track as well,? says Gilly. ?The  
AMSOIL/Kumho Super Team is getting stronger.?

The CORR season begins on April 26 at the LA County Fairplex in Pomona CA.

Other Team supporters are MSD Ignition, Mastercraft Seats, Peterson  
Fluid Systems, Pro Power Race Engines, J&H Transmission, Raceline Oil  
Pumps, Boatec, Hawk Performance, Stewart/Warner Gauges, FOX Racing  
Shocks and Precision Gear.
