DOUGLAS MOTORSPORTS DOUBLES DOWN
CHAD HORD TO DRIVE SECOND AMSOIL F-150 IN BORGWARNER WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP
Crandon,
Wisconsin (August 26, 2009) —Race fans will be seeing double
this Labor Day weekend in what promises to be one of the
biggest off-road races off all time. Douglas Motorsports will
field two identical AMSOIL Kumho Ford F-150s in the BorgWarner
World Championship Cup race. Two-time BorgWarner champ Scott
Douglas will drive the number 7 AMSOIL Pro 4x4 and Pro Light
champion Chad Hord will drive a matching Douglas Motorsports
AMSOIL entry.
Douglas Motorsports team recently tested both trucks at
Crandon and Chad Hord quickly proved the transition to a
full-size 4x4 race truck with 900 horsepower will not be a
problem. Team owner Scott Douglas was very pleased with his
performance and Chad gained valuable seat time in the AMSOIL
F-150.
“Chad Hord is very deserving of this opportunity to drive one
of the AMSOIL Ford F-150s from Douglas Motorsports,” said
Jeremy Meyer, AMSOIL Race Program Manager. “His program is top
notch and he has the ability to compete with the best drivers
in the sport at Crandon. AMSOIL has two cup winners on its
Super Team in Mike Oberg (Baldwin Memorial Cup) and Scott
Douglas (two-time BorgWarner Cup) and Chad has the talent to
bring home a third. The Pro 4x4 class just got a lot deeper
with Chad Hord running for this year's prize and the world
will get to see it live on ABC.” -
