Following in the footsteps of many family members, the 2005 season was my debut behind the wheel. After working on the Amick Kaubisch Racing Team all of my life it's time for the wheel to be passed down so to speak.
I'll admit it was a big leap to jump right in with the big dogs (late models), but the 2 seasons under my belt have made the leap quite worth it. Taking last year off has definitely fueled the fires and I'm looking forward to getting back out there this season! |

Doug was the 1st to follow in his father's footsteps and take a seat behind the wheel of a race car in 1967 at the age of 17. Soon after he began his late brother Lyndon followed in 1969 followed by Craig in 1971. After several years both of his brothers ended their racing career's but after 36 years Doug is still going strong.
Doug Started off racing in the hobby stock division at Black Hills Speedway before moving into a late model in 1971, then in 1983 he changed into the wedge body style that is similar to what is run today. He started off with Fords, and raced them for several years before making the switch to Chevy in 1978, and is currently still running Chevy today.
Some of his career highlights are winning the point championship in 1987, followed by a close 2nd in points in 1988. In 1993 he was known for his 3-wheeled action as the car would pull the left front tire off the ground and carry it down the straightaway. He also won the season ending Nationals that year as well.
After 36 years of racing he's now taking on a new role of pit man. Hopefully his years of experience will help to make the future seasons very successful. |
