    1ST AND 2ND PLACE FINISHES MOVE KEVIN PROBST INTO POINTS LEAD!

    CRANDON WI. June 20th 2008

    The team went north to Crandon Wisconsin for rounds 3 and 4 of the 2008 WSORR season tour. There were no scheduled activities for Friday other than registration and Tech.

    Saturday June 21st
    The morning practices for Jon and Kevin saw the trucks working great with the exception of a slight glitch in the #5 Pro Lite. The truck would not pull up over 6500 RPM and that was a problem. In the pits later, Jon’s dad and engine builder Jeff Probst quickly diagnosed the problem as an ignition pickup and that part was changed to solve the issue. Both trucks were ready for the day’s events.

    Saturday’s Pro Lite race saw Jon and the #5 E3 Spark Plugs/Lucas Oil Nissan PRO-Light start in the 4th position. Jon was 8th into the first turn after getting a bad start and went to work on the field. After battling with two trucks for the first half of the race, the 8th place truck spun, allowing Jon to move into 7th place. At the end of the race Jon worked his E3 Spark Plugs/Lucas Oil Nissan into 6th place. “The grooving changes we made after practice really made a big difference for us.” Said Jon after the race “I feel very good about our chances in the race tomorrow. We have the Fox Shox tuned in and the Toyo Tires are hooking up.”

    The Pro 2wd race was up last for the day. Kevin was on the grid in the 5th position in the land rush start famous in Crandon. The 12 truck field never had a chance as the #99 E3 Spark Plugs/Lucas Oil Chevy took the holeshot into turn one and never looked back. At the race end, Kevin had an 8 second lead over Scott Taylor and Dan Vandenheuvel rounded out the top 3. “We had an awesome truck today and the Toyo Tires worked great” said Kevin, “Our Pro Power engine and Fox shocks put down the gauntlet on the competition”. - more
