Over the past few years, AMSOIL has associated itself with three major bike weeks: Daytona, Sturgis and Laconia. On Friday, the first of those three gets underway in Datyona Beach.The beauty about Daytona is the timing. For those of us who live and ride in the Northern United States, we are always looking for a break from the doldrums of what has become a long winter and Daytona Bike Week offers up a little bit of something for everyone. You can head over to Destination Daytona or cruise Beach Street. If racing is your elixir, then there is nothing greater than the famed Daytona International Speedway. The world's top Supercross stars will race there on March 5, including Team AMSOIL riders Kevin Windham and Justin Barcia. Or you can wait a week for the AMA Pro Road Racing series to begin its season at the Speedway. There you will be able to witness the first race for Erik Buell Racing with Geoff May on top of the #99 AMSOIL/EBR bike. Larry Pegram will challenge May in the AMA Superbike series again this year, riding a BMW for Foremost Insurance/AMSOIL. But the rally is focused around riding. With plenty of scenic highways and byways, one can ride to countless spots in and around Daytona Beach. Through it all, AMSOIL will be widely recognizable and available for the ten day event. Check in on us at Beach Street. Or Destination Daytona. Or the Daytona International Speedway. Either way, enjoy the warmer weather and safe riding. Until then, we'll see you at the races. Team AMSOIL  If you ever get the chance to attend a 2010-11 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series race in person, you will walk away with one thing: these guys are fast. Especially those guys up front. You know, the guys with AMSOIL across their chests. Snocross is an extreme racing sport. Heavy machines with lots of horsepower on tracks that change from lap-to-lap. Leading the way in this year's version of the ACSS are the Champion, the Young Gun the Thrasher and the G.O.A.T. All four guys are showing off speeds maybe never witnessed before on a snocross track. Tucker Hibbert is considered the best to ever ride a snowmobile, and he's proving it week-in and week-out. But the other three guys, Ross Martin, Tim Trembley and Robbie Malinoski are going bar-to-bar with Hibbert this season and all three are starting to see cracks in his armor. Martin and Malinoski, (along with Ski Doo's Tim Trembley) are the two to focus on with just three rounds remaining. Martin has already taken down the G.O.A.T. twice this year. Once in Fargo (Pro Super Stock) and again in Detroit in Pro Open. The AMSOIL rider, (Judnick Motorsports), is just three points out of the Pro Super Stock lead. Malinoski, the veteran rider for the AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports team, is back to his old was was and reinvigorating the "Thrasher" mentality that won him two championships a few years ago. In Detroit, Hibbert pressured Malinoski hard for the final five laps, but Malinoski didn't budge and took home the final podium spot in Pro Open. It's been a long time since Hibbert missed a podium, and he won't miss many more over the final three weekends of racing that start in Hayward, Wis. this Saturday-Sunday. But the pack is gaining ground, and these four riders are putting on one heck of a show. One you might want to see in person. Until then, we'll see you at the track, Team AMSOIL  Discovery Channel's HD Theater will air six episodes of “Superbike Family” beginning this Saturday, February 26. The series depicts Team AMSOIL motorcycle racer Larry Pegram and his family-based racing team as they compete on the AMA Superbike circuit. "" Pegram, a career professional motorcycle rider for the last twenty years juggles his time managing the most successful independent Superbike team on the circuit while at the same time raising two young girls with his wife Heather. His dad Jim works full-time at the team shop, while his mother tends to the books and feeds the crew on weekends. “The show is about my dream of becoming a Superbike Champion. Actually, it’s our dream," said Pegram. "My parents have been helping me race motorcycles since I was a kid and they’re still here at every race working on the crew. My mechanics are the best and are so committed to this team. They do as much if not more than teams who have twice the manpower. We even have sponsors that after writing the check, help out on the weekends working in the pits. It’s definitely a family effort and we’re real proud of what we have accomplished going up against the factory teams. It’s not easy but all of us are chasing our dream.” The “Superbike Family" will initially air at these following dates and times (ET): (HD Theater on Direct TV is channel 281, Dish Network 264) Saturday, February 26th 11am - Superbike Family Ep. 1 11:30am - Superbike Family Ep. 2 Saturday, March 5th 11am - Superbike Family Ep. 3 11:30am Superbike Family Ep. 4 Saturday, March 12th 11am - Superbike Family Ep. 5 11:30am Superbike Family Ep.6 Pegram Racing will start the 2011 AMA Superbike season March 12 at the Daytona 200. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  Team AMSOIL rider Eli Tomac, of Cortez, Colo., captured his first career Monster Energy Supercross victory in the Western Regional Supercross Lites class in a rainy San Diego over the weekend. As the gates dropped on the Supercross Lites class main event, Tomac grabbed the holeshot and never looked back, leading wire-to-wire with a convincing win. “The first five laps I just put my head down and pulled away. It was kind of crazy,” said Tomac, who won by more than 10 seconds. “The track was really tricky and slippery. I got a little nervous out (front), but overall it was really good. I’ve learned a lot this season and I’ve gotten a lot better in recent weeks.” The win moved Tomac closer to the overall points lead as he now sits third overall. Tomac will have to wait a few weeks before racing again as the series heads to Atlanta for round two of the East Coast Lites championship this Saturday. Until then, we'll see you at the races.

Tonight's show will air at 10:00 p.m. ET (9:00 p.m. CST). Re-airs are available at 1:00 a.m. ET and 5:00 a.m. ET as well as 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday. A final re-air will run at 9:00 a.m. ET on Saturday morning. The 2011 Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL gets racing April 30-May 1 in San Antonio, Texas. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  Team AMSOIL rider Ross Martin jumped to an early lead in the Pro Super Stock main, but it was Tucker Hibbert claiming the top step on the podium at the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series  event in Pontiac, Mich. on Saturday. Martin held a commanding lead until five laps to go, when Hibbert motored by on his Monster Energy Arctic Cat for the win.Just as with several events this season, Hibbert did not have the best of starts but was able to create new lines, to race through some heavy hitters and get the win. Martin continues to stay close in the season standings with the second aboard his Jack Link’s/Dupont/AMSOIL Polaris, while Warnert Racing/Foremost Insurance’s Tim Tremblay took a step back when he was black  flagged for contact with Logan Christian. Christian had been in a podium position but dropped back to fourth after the contact, allowing teammate Garth Kaufman to get the three spot.The AMSOIL Pro Open final went down as one of the highlights of the season, with Tim Tremblay getting a massive lead after a first turn pileup induced a restart. Hibbert and Martin then chased Tremblay in a shootout of the current point leaders. When Hibbert went down on the back straight, it looked as if Tremblay may be in  line for his first win of the season. With seven laps to go Martin worked by Tremblay and AMSOIL/Air Force/Rockstar rider Robbie Malinoski closed the gap in third. The top three finished in that order with Hibbert racing back through the field to challenge Malinoski at the finish.The series returns March 5, with the Hayward Powersports/Polaris National at the LCO Casino in Hayward, Wisc. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  With Monster Energy Supercross in Houston, Team AMSOIL rider Justin Barcia won a 15-lap duel with Dean Wilson at Reliant Stadium on Saturday night to put his GEICO/AMSOIL/Honda at the top of the podium for the first time this season "How was that race to watch?" Barcia asked after the victory. "It must've been awesome because it was so intense to race in." As glorious as Barcia's night was, the rest of the evening was bittersweet for the GEICO squad. Supercross rider Kevin Windham got the holeshot in his main and led 11 laps before suffering a cartwheeling crash and finished 19th. GEICO Honda's other Lites rider, Blake Wharton, was run off the track while in third place in the Main, but recovered to finish the race sixth. For Barcia it was a grand way to start the season following a 2010 season that had a lot of ups and downs. "The bike was putting the power to the ground," Barcia said. "It was such an intense battle. When I was riding I was saying, 'Woah this is gnarly.' We had to watch our back every corner because we didn't know what each other was going to do. It was crazy." The night was shaping up to be just as stellar for Windham. In the main, he put down a solid start, led for 11 laps, and had as much as a 4.5-second lead over second place (and eventual winner) Trey Canard before disaster struck. Windham was just past the finish line on lap 12 and had just cleared a small jump when he landed cross-ways in a rut on the track. Bike and rider cartwheeled from there with the bike eventually landing on top of a stunned Windham once it all came to a stop. The 17-year veteran was roughed up and suffered a slight concussion from the impact, but had no broken bones. The Monster Energy Supercross Series goes back to the West Coast for a week with a trip to San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium on Feb. 19. Lites West riders Eli Tomac and Jimmy DeCotis will resume their seasons at that venue. Barcia and Wharton won't race again until the Atlanta stop on Feb. 26.

Wanderscheid continues his ice oval dominance this winter, this time picking up the U.S.  Nationals championship in Ogilvie, Minn.The Team AMSOIL star recently became the first rider in history to win four AMSOIL World Championships at the AMSOIL W.C.

Wanderscheid also finished second in the Pro Open 600 class behind Dustin Wahl. The AMSOIL/Arctic Cat driver will head to Weyauwega, Wis. for the Fire on Ice event this weekend. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  Team AMSOIL rider Ross Martin used a solid start and quick charge to the front to earn his first victory of the season in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series last weekend in New York.  Martin endured heavy traffic on the opening lap of the Pro Stock final and began to pressure early race leader Dan Ebert “I got off the start, not the best jump, I was sandwiched between everyone and the snow dust just hung in the air,” said Martin. “I couldn’t really see until we were coming back down the straight toward the finish line. I just kept looking ahead going forward trying to get  to the front as quick as I could.”Roughly one third of the way into the main, Martin passed Ebert and would not be challenged the rest of the way. AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports rider Robbie Malinoksi was battling for a final podium spot on Friday before getting tangled up with another rider late in the competition and finishing tenth. The win moved Martin into a tie for the overall points lead with Tucker Hibbert, who finished fifth. Martin and Malinoski were both on the  throttle hard again on Saturday night, this time in the AMSOIL Pro Open final. Malinsoki, the number one qualifier on the night, pushed hard and finished third and moving him into fourth in the overall standings. Martin continues to battle with Hibbert for the overall lead, as he racked up his fourth straight second place finish behind the Arctic Cat rider.The ACSS moves inside this weekend with the fifth round of racing being held at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., just north of Detroit.

It was an impressive battle between Josh Hansen and Tomac, as both riders took their turns out front. Tomac took the lead from Hansen, only for Hansen to nose his way back into the lead. A regrouped Tomac then delt with rookie Ken Roczen and Brock Tickle for the remainder of the Supercross Lites final. Tomac narrowly beat out Roczen for second, with Tickle just inches behind in fourth.

"Hopefully next weekend it'll all be put it all together and earn my first win.Tomac's teammates were also able to finish in the top 10 with Kevin Windham seventh in the Supercross main event and Jimmy DeCotis crossing the finish eighth in the Lites West main. Windham, the lone Team AMSOIL rider in the 450cc class, raced to a seventh place finish during the fourth round of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross series. "I need to keep pushing myself," Windham said, "but there's a thin line between pushing hard enough to win and pushing so hard that you're going to beat yourself by crashing and not finishing. I've got to figure out that balance." The next stop on the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross series will be a Feb. 5 return to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., site of the season opener. AMSOIL is the Exclusive Official Oil of Monster Energy Supercross. Until then, we'll see you at the race, Team AMSOIL  Mike Schultz doesn't let too much affect him these days. Both on, and off, the track, he is moving forward. More often than not, he comes out on the winning end. Despite losing his left leg during a pro snocross race three years ago, Schultz has adapted to his new role in life and has been busy snatching up X Games medals. This past weekend in Aspen, Schultz added to his growing resume by winning a Winter X Gold Medal in Adaptive Snocross on top of his AMSOIL sponsored Ski Doo. Also riding a Ski Doo at Winter X Games this past weekend was Team AMSOIL rider Robbie Malinoski. One of the top pro riders in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series, Malinoski had to overcome a poor start in the X Games Snocross final to finish with a bronze medal. Ross Martin, who rides out of the AMSOIL/Polaris trailer, picked up his second straight silver medal in Aspen. Despite jumping the start, Martin was able to push through the field and into second at the halfway point. Tucker Hibbert won his fifth straight Winter X Gold. Up next for Martin and Malinoski is round four of the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series in Farmington, N.Y. on February 4-5.

The sleds worked perfectly in Aspen and the defending gold medalist held up his end of the bargain during the opening night of competition on ESPN. Hoyer was the top qualifier coming out of the first round of eliminations and backed it up with the top score after two rounds. Hoyer, who would flip his 500 pound snowmobile last in the Winter X Games final, needed to beat Daniel Bodin's 91.66 score for a shot at the gold. A small hand check on a no-handed landing might have cost Hoyer the gold, but his 91.00 run was enough for a second straight medal, this time the silver. That was a battle," Hoyer said. "It was the hardest Winter X ever. We've come a long way and hopefully we can continue to grow. Next year I'm a little nervous though. It's going to get ugly. Real ugly." Team AMSOIL gets another crack at gold tonight when Scheuring sends out AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series pro Willie Elam for the Snowmobile Speed and Style event. Tonight's final will air live on ESPN. Qualifying will be held throughout the day in Aspen. Robbie Malinoski and Ross Martin will look for gold in Snocross on Sunday afternoon, while Hoyer will compete for the title of Best Trick on Sunday night. Both events air live on ESPN.

ESPN Broadcast Schedule Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  Round three of Monster Energy Supercross brought the nationwide tour to Dodger Stadium for the first time last Saturday and Team AMSOIL rider Eli Tomac was looking for his first career podium. Tomac, who has been riding fast in his rookie supercross campaign but was besieged by poor starts in the first two rounds, was quick on the throttle in Los Angeles. The former Loretta Lynn's Amateur champion started third in the West Coast Lites main and after a few turns had moved into second. From there he would pressure race leader Cole Seely, while being pressured from a handful of riders behind him. While Seely extended his lead, Tomac fought off the competition and picked up his first pro podium. Tomac's teammate James Decotis finished eighth in the Lites class and Kevin Windham finished sixth in the 450 Supercross class. AMSOIL is the Exclusive Official Oil of Monster Energy Supercross. Round four heads to Oakland, Calif. The Oakland round of racing will air on CBS next Sunday morning. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL  "Racer X Films: Phoenix, Tour of the Pits - Racer X Online" GEICO/Honda/AMSOIL rider Kevin Windham had big plans for the second stop of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross in Phoenix. Unfortunately for Windham things don't always go as planned. "I was having a great race," Windham said. "My GEICO Honda  was running great. I had a great start but then I got tangled up."The veteran rider, who is competing in his 17th season, had his 450cc machine off to a strong start in the main event but a crash during lap 12 brought his hopes of winning the race to an end. "I thought the guy was going to zig, but he zagged," Windham said of the slower lapped traffic he encountered. "I was already in the air and there was nothing I could do about it at that point. It broke the front brake and bent the handlebars of my Honda and that was it for me." Windham is still hoping to be a major player for the 2011 season and isn't going to let his 19th-place finish in Phoenix ruin his goal of winning the championship. "That's racing," Windam said, "or at least that's what they tell me. It sure doesn't make it any easier. Tonight was tough but we're going to move on next weekend to LA and hopefully make up for it." Windham's teammate Eli Tomac ran a very competitive race in the 250cc Lites class, working hard to earn his fifth-place finish.  "Qualifying went really well," Tomac said. "The top of the pack was really tight, and it showed during the main event too." Tomac's AMSOIL backed teammate was as far back as 11th during the main event but the Supercross rookie was not about to settle for that. He kicked it into high gear and earned every spot on his way up to fifth. "Unfortunately my start hindered my performance once again," Tomac said. "I definitely know I have more endurance than most of those guys because in the end, when it counted the most, I came on strong." The rookie is beginning to feel comfortable in the Lites class, and can't wait for the next race to continue improving. "I feel like I'm totally used to Supercross now," said Tomac, who turned pro last year in the outdoor portion of the season. "No more rookie bugs. I'm ready to come out swinging next weekend." Replacement rider Jimmy DeCotis' made his debut with the GEICO team at Chase Field and his first race with the team is one that has got everyone in the Lites  class looking his way."I rode a little tight early in the day," DeCotis said, "but I rode really well in the main, and that's where it really counts. I just have to work on my endurance a little more and we'll be set." Riding for the injured Wil Hahn, DeCotis earned a seventh-place finish on his 250cc Honda, proving he's not just a replacement rider, he's here to compete. "I have a great team behind me right now," DeCotis said. "It's going good. We're just going to build on this. I did what I wanted to do and can't wait to get back out here again next race." The next stop for the Monster Energy Supercross Series is next Saturday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The event will air on CBS this Sunday. Until then, we'll see you at the races, Team AMSOIL 
Sunday marked the 48th running of the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby in Eagle River, Wis., and this one will have the industry buzzing for weeks to come. Team AMSOIL racer P. J. Wanderschied now stands alone as the Derby's only four-time champion after a hard-fought battle with another AMSOIL-backed driver, Gary Moyle. Officials at the AMSOIL Derby Track shook things up this year by changing the format of the WC race from a 25-lap race to a 30-lap race split into two sections. Drivers raced 15 laps, had a five-minute pit session to change carbides, add lubricants and fuel and check the sled over. Then the race resumed with a staggered start according to how drivers finished the first 15-lap session.  Wanderscheid earned the pole position by winning the Sweet 16 race during Friday Night Thunder, but it was Moyle who jumped out to an early lead on lap one with Wanderscheid following close behind. The Houghton, Mich. native led from flag to flag as the first 15 laps closed with no red flags and Wanderscheid only narrowing the gap slightly around lap 13. The race resumed after the mandatory pit-stop and fans were treated to an epic battle between Moyle and Wanderscheid as the two exchanged the lead a number of times until Wanderscheid finally took the lead for good on lap 29 to solidify his place in snowmobile racing history as the first four-time AMSOIL World Champion. Wanderscheid was followed on his Arctic Cat by Moyle and ice oval racing legend Jacques Villeneuve, both on Ski-Doo.The world championship weekend at the AMSOIL Derby Track also features snocross, where the podium was also dominated by Team AMSOIL drivers. It was an AMSOIL podium sweep in the Pro Stock class during Friday Night Thunder with Scheuring Speed Sports’ Robbie Malinoski taking the checkers followed by Ross Martin and Mike Bauer from the Judnick Motorsports trailer. Malinoski also took third in Friday night’s Pro Open final behind young-gun Justin Broberg and third-year pro Brett Turcotte. Sunday’s Pro Stock final saw Marin finish on top, followed by Malinoski and Kaven Benoit. Malinoski’s teammate Darrin Mees finished fourth. The Pro Open final featured a fantastic battle between Marin and Turcotte, culminating with an awe-inspiring charge by Martin from the final turn to the finish line for the win. Martin was followed by Turcotte, Broberg and Malinoski. Mees finished sixth.
