An exciting weekend of racing culminated in Wanderscheid
earning his record fourth AMSOIL World Championship.

The AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby took place January 13-16 at the AMSOIL Eagle River Derby Track in Eagle River, Wis. and featured one of the most exciting races in the event’s 48-year history, with Team AMSOIL ice oval racer P.J. Wanderscheid coming out on top and making history in the process.

The event kicked off Thursday with practice and time trials, where Wanderscheid clocked in third fastest. Friday featured the Friday Night Thunder program, where pole position in Sunday’s feature race was at stake. After winning his eight-lap heat race, Wanderscheid took the early lead in the 16-lap final and didn’t look back, taking the win, securing the pole position in Sunday’s feature and earning a day of rest and preparation on Saturday.



Wanderscheid celebrates his historic win.

Starting Sunday with practice laps, Wanderscheid clocked in with the fastest time. The World Championship race featured a different format this year, increasing from 25 to 30 laps that were split into two sections. Drivers raced 15 laps, took a five-minute pit session, then resumed the final 15 laps with a staggered start according to how drivers finished the first 15 laps.

Upon the start, AMSOIL-backed driver Gary Moyle jumped out to the early lead with Wanderscheid close behind. Moyle led the entire 15 laps, with Wanderscheid narrowing the gap slightly on lap 13. After the pit stop, Moyle and Wanderscheid thrilled fans with an epic battle for the title as they continually exchanged the lead. Wanderscheid took the lead for good on lap 29, taking the win and going down in history as the only racer to win four AMSOIL World Championships. Moyle took second, followed by ice oval racing legend Jacques Villeneuve.



Martin earned the Pro Stock and Pro Open
final wins on Sunday.

Team AMSOIL found further success on the snocross track, where AMSOIL racers swept the podium at the Friday Night Thunder Pro Stock final, with AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports racer Robbie Malinoski taking the win, followed by AMSOIL/Judnick Motorsports racers Ross Martin and Mike Bauer in second and third respectively. Malinoski also took third in Friday’s Pro Open final behind Justin Broberg and Brett Turcotte.

On Sunday, Martin took the Pro Stock final win, followed by Malinoski in second, Kaven Benoit in third and AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports racer Darrin Mees in fourth. Sunday’s Pro Open final featured an exciting battle between Martin and Turcotte, culminating with an awe-inspiring charge by Martin from the final turn to the finish line for the win. Turcotte finished second, Broberg third and Malinoski fourth.

The Next Bite Host Impressed with Improved Fuel Economy from Amsoil

The Next Bite Host Impressed with Improved Fuel Economy

National Fresh Water Fishing Hall-of-Famer Gary Parsons, one of the hosts of the popular AMSOIL-sponsored fishing program The Next Bite on the Versus Network, could not hide his excitement about gaining improved fuel economy with AMSOIL products, writing the following:

I thought I’d drop you a note since I’m pretty excited. I switched all three of my trucks to AMSOIL products over the last few days: engine oil, transmission, front and rear differentials. The news is about my tournament truck. I have a 2011 Ford F250 with the new diesel engine. Before I made the lubricant switch, I filled the truck with diesel and headed to Duluth (Minn.) to get some work done. I was bucking a head wind and got 17.8 miles per gallon, which is pretty normal going against a 30 mph wind. I got the lubricants switched and some other work done on the truck, so it stayed overnight. The next day I came back with my wife’s truck to get her lubricants switched. That day we drove both vehicles back home, and this is where it got interesting. The wind was dead calm and I wanted to see what happened to the gas mileage, so I drove the speed limit and used the speed control on the truck most of the way. I’ve made this trip from Duluth to my house many times where I tried to get the best gas mileage, probably no less than six times when I was watching closely. The best mileage that I ever got on the stretch between Duluth and Ashland (Wis.) was 20.4 mpg, and since the stretch between Ashland and my house is really hilly, the mileage goes down and the best overall performance when I reach my house has been 19.4 mpg. Using the same diesel fill as when I took the truck to Duluth, I got 22.4 mpg from Duluth to Ashland and 21.3 when I got home! That’s almost two miles per gallon better by just switching to the AMSOIL lubricants! I would have never believed that it would have made such a difference, especially since Ford uses synthetics in the new diesels already. All I can say is WOW!
