Alan Pflueger Looks for Three-In-A-Row Honolulu, HI -- Looking to make it three-in-a-row, Alan Pflueger and the entire Pflueger Racing team are set for a victory run at the upcoming SCORE Henderson's Terrible 250 in Henderson, NV, Saturday, July 12.
"Henderson is a tough, tough course," says Pflueger, who will share driving duties with veteran off-road ace Dan Ragland. "The heat in Henderson this time of year is incredible and you have to be careful to stay really hydrated. Plus, there is no real pre-running. Unlike the events in Mexico where we spend the minimum of a week leaning all the pitfalls, this race only allows you to run one controlled lap prior to the race. Dan is going to be doing part of the driving in the Baja 1000 again this season and utilizing his talents in this race will give him some extra seat time. He was part of our winning team at last year's 1000 and we are definitely pleased to have him back on board."
Thundering off the startline on Saturday morning, drivers will have a total of 8 hours to complete the arduous hot trek. "If we can average about 50 plus miles per hour and have no problems, we should be able to finish in about 4 ½ or 5 hours," says Pflueger. "My guys definitely know how to prepare a strong truck, one that is capable of conquering the roughest terrain imaginable and Kroyer Racing Engines builds us tough reliable engines, so things should be good. We don't just come to race, we come to win and that is what we plan to do."
