Steady Improvement as Ross Hoek Heads to Crandon

Holland, Mich. (June 21, 2016) – Ross Hoek looks to the 2016 TORC Series presented by AMSOIL schedule as a developmental year for the PRO-4 race team. The team plans use the 2016 season to get the team to the “next level” for a run at the 2017 championship. The first two weekends of the current season saw the #10 Automatic Transmission Design PRO-4 make considerable strides on and off the track and is well on the way to reaching their goal.

Memorial Day Weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, the #10 ATD hot rod finished fourth in the opening round of the season only to lose the front drive in round two which relegated the team to finish well off the pace.

The second weekend of June had Ross Hoek Motorsports head to Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois. Opening night was a horrible struggle for Ross as rain cancelled Thursday practice and with only one 3-lap test session he missed the setup making the truck difficult to drive during Friday’s race. The second night of the program saw Hoek battle totally different track conditions and with a proper setup, the team, truck, and driver had a solid night of racing finishing fourth.

“We plan to compete in every round this year, but it takes good partners, a solid team, a well prepared race truck, and a competent driver,” remarked Ross Hoek. “At times it we’re right there and other times we realize there are areas that we need to improve upon. We’re searching out the right partnerships to make an effective marketing platform in TORC’s premier class. While I explore marketing opportunities, the team has to show steady improvement on and off the track. I’m confident we will achieve our goals this year as well as into 2017 and beyond.”

The next race for Ross Hoek Motorsports is the “Big House Brawl” on June 25-26 in Crandon, Wisconsin. The team always looks forward to the time at Crandon, as Hoek has been very successful throughout his career at the 1.7-mile off-road super speedway.
