Wylie, Texas - for immediate release
The AMS
Pro Mod Racing team owned by Dave Wood and driven by Troy Critchley
is currently preparing for one of their biggest races of the
year, the
O'Reilly Auto Parts Fall Nationals September 23-25 at the famed
Texas
Motorplex. AMS Staff Leasing, which is headquartered in Dallas,
brings out
many of its employee's and supporters to witness the power of
NHRA AMS/TLR
Pro Mod Racing to the Dallas race located in Ennis, Texas. Aussie
born
driver Troy Critchley is pumped up for the event and stated, "I
want to get
that elusive first win here at Dallas. That would be an awesome
feat. It
would be incredible for Dave and Gidget Wood for us to take the
trophy home
to Wylie, which is only an hour away from the track. We have
a great team
and car, now we just have to put together a solid string of runs
and get it
done. I feel good about this weekend, I know the "Jackhammer" will
be ready
to rock with the best of them".
After the disappointing loss in Indy, the team has busy regrouping
and also
running the "Other Jackhammer" in Texas Outlaw competition.
Chad Wilson
reports, "We ran well last weekend at Houston Motorsports
Park, but lost to
Josh Hernandez in the finale of a match race. We ran 4.11 @ 178
Mph with the Corvette,
so we were happy with that. We do not have many runs on that
car
so every run helps a lot to obtain valuable data. All in all,
we had a good
time and the people at the track treated us very well. Now it's
time to
focus on the Willys and our tasks at hand for Dallas".
The AMS team, which presently sits in the 4th spot in NHRA Pro
Mod points,
can move back into 3rd place with strong outings at the last
races of the
season. Crew Chief Darren Mayer states, "We have had a great
car all year
long. In the middle of the season we had a lot of two-cent parts
breakage
that took us off of our game. I'm confident that we have a winning
car. It
will just take us working together as a team to achieve our common
goals.
Everyone on this team is excellent at what they do and I want
that to show
through before the seasons end". Qualifying gets underway
on Friday,
September 23 @ 3:00 P.M. Be sure to visit www.amspromods.com and
