White Bear Lake, MN (2/22/2008)
- The WPSA’s PowerSports ATV
Championship Tour will kick off the 2008 season
at Oak Hill Raceway in Decatur, Texas on May
3nd and 4th with the ProTaper/MSR/QuadBoss
ATV Open Championship. Jeff and Dawn Oldenburg,
new owners of the facility, continue to upgrade
the track amenities as the season opener approaches.
The Oak Hill facility features one of the
most ATV friendly and motocross challenging
tracks in the nation. Excellent viewing, over
200 RV spots and plentiful “flat”
parking areas are just a few of this nationally
recognized facilities attributes.
“We have enjoyed a highly workable
relationship with Jeff and Dawn Oldenburg
since way back in the 90’s.” said
Scott O’Malley, President of PowerSports
Entertainment, Inc. “We had our initial
conversation with the Oldenburgs about a year
ago and with Tucker Rocky coming on as a series’
sponsor and it being literally in Tucker Rocky’s
backyard, we wanted to spread our footprints
around the nation and we all decided that
Oak Hill would be an excellent venue to host
the opening round this year.”
The Oldenburgs have been race promoters in
the Minnesota area for almost twenty years
before acquiring the Texas track and through
their involvement in snocross and motocross
in the Minnesota region have become a favorite
promoter of racers and fans in the area. They
have continued to raise the bar in promoting
off-road racing and now, with the Oak Hill
MX facility in Texas, will be able to bring
their collective expertise to the WPSA’s
PowerSports ATV Championship Tour. “We
are extremely excited to host the opening
round of the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship
Tour here at Oak Hill Raceway. “ Jeff
Oldenburg said. “Quad racing has long
been a part of our program and to bring this
top level event here is just plain awesome!
We are looking forward to seeing this event
here in the great state of Texas.”
The WPSA’s Scott O’Malley added.
“We had heard great things about the
Oak Hill Raceway so we sent a representative
out to take a look at it. We found that the
infrastructure was great and that the track
would be a phenomenal track for us in both
Quad Terrain and MX. In addition to that,
we’re working side by side with Tucker
Rocky to enhance the promotion of the event
in the area and we’re expecting great
things to happen when we kick off the season
in May. To put it plainly…It’s
the right place to go at the right time of
the year to start our season off.”
Oak Hill Raceway is located in Decatur, Texas,
just a few miles northwest of the Dallas-Fort
Worth area. For more information on Oak Hill
