June 3, 2008 (Holland, MI) - Ross Hoek Motorsports began the 2008 Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing season with an ambitious plan; to compete in the Super Truck and PRO-2WD division with the race truck. The Skyjacker Suspensions Herculiner Raybestos Brakes Goodyear Tire race truck would be configured to the Super Truck rules, minimizing the prep work between each round of racing. In the past, Ross has been a top competitor in both full-size truck divisions, the additional racing made for an exciting weekend for RHM fans and supporters.

“Our program really came together the second half of last year. Competing in PRO-2WD and Super Truck was designed to maximize the exposure for our marketing partners and give me more seat time this weekend” explained Ross Hoek during a brief Saturday morning meeting. “Wheatland is very technical which will allow us to be competitive in both classes.”

The race facility in Wheatland, Missouri has to be one of the premier stock car short facilities in the country. It offers the very best amenities for the racer and the spectator. The Lucas Oil Speedway is truly a “Diamond in the Dirt.”

Saturday – Round 1 – Super Truck

The afternoon practice session saw everything go very well for Ross Hoek and his #210 Skyjacker Suspensions race truck. After a few minor adjustments, the team waited patiently for the evening festivities to begin. Unfortunately Mother Nature did not want to cooperate. Rain began to fall late in the afternoon. Eventually the rain stopped around 7:30pm, and by 9:00pm WSORR officials brought out the Super Trucks out for the first race of the 2008 season.

With the main grandstands and skyboxes nearly filled to capacity, the Super Trucks were lined up ready to go. The rain showers made the entire track a quagmire. The first race of the season became as much of a battle with the track conditions as with the other racers. Once the green flag was waved, the Super Truck field quickly spread out over the track. Within a couple of laps, Ross Hoek was in a battle for the second position with Keith Steele. The two swapped positions a number of times. At the finish, Ross landed on the podium with a hard fought second place finish.

Just after the completion of Super Truck race, heavy rain, accompanied with lightning, began to fall. The WSORR officials cancelled the rest of the Saturday night program.

Sunday – Round 1 – PRO-2WD

The rain had stopped sometime before dawn, and the track workers did their best to put the track into some type of racing shape. The WSORR officials started the race program mid-morning in order to finish all the first round races and still have enough time to finish the second rounds. Fortunately the weather cooperated, the sun came out and the show went on.

The starting grid for PRO-2WD had the #21 on the outside of row 1. As the field headed for Turn One, Hoek narrowly missed disaster, as #99 Probst, barrel rolled in front of the Goodyear Tires equipped Skyjacker truck. Kevin was unharmed and the race continued. The track conditions were ideal, as the track was dry and dust free. After the ten lap affair, Ross Hoek finishes in sixth place.

With only an hour to prep, for Round Two racing, the Ross and the crew immediately went to work.

Sunday - Round 2 – Super Truck

The race started with Ross quickly moving into the third position. As he was beginning to challenge for the second spot, when his fuel pump began cutting out, slowing his pace considerably. At the finish, the #210 Skyjacker Herculiner Raybestos Brakes Goodyear Tire Super Truck came home in fifth place.

Sunday – Round 2 – PRO-2WD

Quickly the crew went to work replacing the fuel pump, as the team made the PRO-2WD starting grid with only minutes to spare. The final race out the weekend saw Ross run hard and clean, as his Goodyear Tires were really working well with the Missouri clay. In the end, Ross crossed the finish line in fifth place.

Once the hectic day of racing was complete, Ross commented on the opening weekend of the 2008 World Series of Off-Road Racing. “Last night the water and mud really made that first race, an exercise in survival. Then to come out here and race today it was unbelievable. Everyone at WSORR did an incredible job. If you saw what the track looked like at 8:30 in the morning, you would have never believe we could go racing, but we did and the condition were great. Hats off to my crew, the pressure we were under, running both classes, great job. Our Goodyear Tires really worked well with our Skyjacker Suspensions truck. Wet, dry, muddy, whatever, they performed flawlessly. This was our first race with Raybestos Brake and never had a problem all weekend long. Thanks again to Herculiner for their continued support as well.”

Currently Ross Hoek is in third place in 2008 WSORR Super Truck standings, and fifth place in the PRO-2WD division.

The next race for Ross Hoek Motorsports is the Forest County Potawotomi Brush Run, June 21-22, in Crandon, Wisconsin.

Ross Hoek Motorsports looked to continue his competitive racing streak as they piloted the Skyjacker Suspensions, Herculiner, Goodyear Tires, Raybestos, F-150 in two different World Series of Off-Road Racing divisions. The same truck has also competed in the new PRO-Spec division of Championship Off-Road Racing earlier this year. Ross Hoek and his crew have had a very busy spring competing in two different race series on opposite coasts. This weekend will be the team’s greatest challenge yet; five races in two days after totally rebuilding the truck due to a devastating fire 2 weeks earlier that ended Ross’ domination of the CORR Pro-Spec division!

Saturday - Round 3

Super Truck

The #210 Skyjacker Suspensions, Herculiner, Goodyear Tires, Raybestos,  F-150 came out of Turn One in third place but Ross underestimated the track watering conditions and hit the wall in the finish line turn of the first lap!  After the entire field went by Ross started playing catch-up with the field.  Over the next several laps, Hoek had worked his way into second place. The top two positions held their spots all the way to the checkered flag.

With only a few hours to prep and to get ready for the PRO-2WD race; the crew immediately brought the truck back to the hauler, as Ross continued with the media interviews after the race.

PRO-2WD

Ross lined up for the land rush start with his #21 Skyjacker Suspensions, Herculiner, Goodyear Tires, Raybestos,  F-150 still in the Super Truck configuration, hoping his truck’s chassis setup could make up for his lack of horsepower. The start saw the #21 Skyjacker truck come down the front straight in a very respectable third place. For 7 of the 9 lap race Ross ran 4th holding off the much more powerful Pro-2WD of Oberg. The Super Truck engine package combined with just the right amount of traction from the Goodyear tires made for an excellent combination.  A single mistake in the last lap allowed Oberg to dive inside Ross in the gravel pit and steal the 4th position.  The race for 4th was renowned by all as the best race with-in the race!

That night Ross and the crew went through the usual overnight prep work as the rebuild was a tremendous success and the truck was really handling the increased race load quite well.

Sunday – Round 4

Super Truck

The Sunday Super Truck race showcased a heated battle between the Skyjacker Ford and #297 Wandahsega.  Ross ate Wandahsega’s roost for several laps as he made multiple challenges for the lead only to loose it to a hard charging #229 Steele.  Ross chased hard after Steele for a couple laps but had to settle in and save the truck for the Pro-2WD race that was only 45 minutes away.  The result, once a gain, was a solid second place finish without any damage to the truck.

This time the crew had less time to prep the truck for the PRO-2WD race due to the schedule change to accommodate the Chairman’s Cup Showdown at the end of the day.

PRO-2WD

The final points race for the #21 Skyjacker Suspensions, Herculiner, Goodyear Tires, Raybestos, F-150 started well as Ross once again came out of Turn One in third place but this time he was quickly overtaken by Oberg.

On lap two, #4 Johnny Greaves was charging hard in his RHM chassis PRO-2 and Ross was over aggressive trying to maintain his position over the starting line jumps. The abuse shattered the transmission as the truck landed off the second jump.  Ross coasted to a stop off the track in front of the crowd and watched the end of the race on the Jumbotron. The early failure disappointed the team with an eleventh place finish as Greaves went on to finish fifth.

Undaunted the crew went to work replacing the transmission. The change went quickly and without any problems. That is until they went to move the truck. The ring and pinion was also in need of replacement. Once again the crew went to work, this time replacing the “pumpkin.”  The quick work by the team got Ross to the starting grid in plenty of time for the Chairman’s Cup.

As Ross and the crew were getting the truck ready for the Heavy Metal Showdown event, the weather took a turn for the worse. Rain showers swept through the area leaving the race track a mess. The threat of dust was gone, as water and mud completely transformed the track into a quagmire. Fortunately, the rain stopped as the trucks lined up for the start.

Forest County Potawatomi Chairman’s Cup

The two-wheel drive trucks were given a half lap head start over the normally slightly fast four-wheel drive trucks. Due to the muddy condition of the track, everyone realized the 4x4s would quickly catch the 4x2s.

The start of the race saw practically everyone sliding and spinning all over the track. Ross got lucky off the start and snuck inside several PRO-2WD trucks in the first turn.  Ross ran third overall for a couple laps then passed Steele for the Super Truck lead.  Two laps later Ross when wide in a turn, letting both Steele and Wandasega get by. As the track started to gain some grip, Ross took second place from Steele. Unfortunately time was running out and there wasn’t enough time to make a serious charge for the Super Truck lead.

From the start it was evident that the driver with the fewest mistakes would win the big money. Kent Brasho in his #8 PRO-4x4 never made a mistake and took home the top prize.  At the finish, Ross was the second place Super Truck finisher and eighth place overall.

“This weekend was a huge undertaking for Ross Hoek Motorsports,” commented Ross Hoek. “We were looking to compete in five races this weekend. We started all five, and finished four. Actually the truck was competitive in all five. I can’t thank my crew enough. Special thanks go to Charlie at Auto Trans Design. We dropped off our transmission to him on the way to Crandon Thursday night and he had it back to use by Friday afternoon. We really didn’t have a tranny issue this weekend. When the rear end broke, the shock it caused traveled up the driveline and took out the transmission. ATD builds an awesome piece. The race conditions for the Cup race were some of the worse ever, but you can’t change the weather. The Goodyear tires were awesome, no matter the conditions; they gave us the bite we needed to stay among the leaders.  By Bark River we’ll have this truck in full Pro-2WD trim and our second truck will be ready to continue the battle for the Super Truck Championship.  With 2 trucks we’ll take the gloves off in both classes!”

Currently Ross Hoek is in 4th place in the WSORR PRO-2WD Championship standings and tied for second place in the WSORR Super Truck Championship standings.

The next race for Ross Hoek Motorsports is July 12-13, WSORR Rounds 5 & 6 Island Casino/Boss Snow Plow UP Off-Road 100, Bark River, Michigan

Holland, MI (May 29, 2007) – Ross Hoek and his Skyjacker sponsored World Series of Off-Road Racing team is looking to increase his exposure by increasing his seat time at the WSORR season opener at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. Hoek will be competing in the PRO-2WD division as well as the Super Truck division at the “Diamond in the Dirt” this coming weekend, May 31 –June 1.

“My intentions are two fold,” comments Ross Hoek. “The extra time behind the wheel will only improve my driving performance, but getting in front of the WSORR fans twice as much this weekend, will add market value to our race program. Skyjacker Suspensions is a great partner for RHM, increasing their exposure as well as all my associate partners this weekend, Herculiner, Raybestos Brakes, and Goodyear Tire, is another way of saying thanks for all their support.”

New to RHM is the addition of Raybestos Brakes and Goodyear Tires as associate sponsors.

Raybestos is the Affinina owned company’s first endeavor into off-road racing. The Raybestos logo can be seen at NASCAR and Indy Racing League events, and now at World Series of Off-Road Racing races on the PRO-2WD and Super Truck Ford F-150 of Ross Hoek. For more than 100 years, Raybestos® brand brakes has been setting the benchmark for premium quality brake parts.

Goodyear Tire has a long history in all forms of off-road racing. Goodyear Wranglers are proven race winning tires at short venues all across the country. Look Ross Hoek to continue that tradition during the 2008 WSORR season.

“Ever since we moved up to the Super Truck division back in ’03, I wanted to create a two truck team,” states Ross Hoek. “Teaming up with Skyjacker, Herculiner, Raybestos & Goodyear Tire, and all our product sponsors have put us in a position to take the dream and make it a reality. Now it’s up to me and my team to bring home a championship.”

The first round of WSORR competition begins this weekend, May 31-June 1, at the Lucas Oil Speedway, in Wheatland, Missouri.

The television broadcast of the event, on the SPEED Channel, will be announced at a later date.
