Won 4 Racing Owner Doug Soucy Retires as Small Block Supermodified Owner Heroth PR: If you’ve been at the Oswego Speedway in the last 3 years, chances are you’ve recognized the Won 4 Racing #04 Small Block Supermodified driven by Kreig Heroth. Won 4 Racing, a team started by motorsports enthusiast Doug Soucy in 2012 was formed to honor his heroes who have each won 4 Indy 500 events. These heroes include A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, and Rick Mears. Won 4 Racing has been a model of consistency throughout the past 3 years. However, after his 3 year tenure as a Small Block Supermodified car owner with driver Kreig Heroth, Doug has announced his retirement as a car owner. As a fan, Doug Soucy came to the Oswego Speedway wanting to become involved with a team. Throughout the 2011 season, helping Kreig when he could, it became evident to Doug that he wanted to own his own race team. Moving into the 2012 season, Won 4 Racing would be formed, sporting a 2012 Ray Hedger Chassis, and all of the equipment needed to meet their goal, to win a track championship. As the year moved along, and the consistent finishes continued to come, Won 4 Racing with driver Kreig Heroth was able to secure the points battle and live up to the goal of winning a track championship. Doug’s accomplishment was a feat that is rarely done, winning a track championship the first year as a car owner. In 2013, Doug and the Won 4 Racing team was eager to repeat on the title, but fell short, still having consistent finishes and the red 04 completed every single feature lap at the Speedway. Won 4 Racing ended the season 5th in the final point chase. In 2014, Won 4 Racing continued the charge looking to continue their model of consistency as they did just that by having the most top ten finishes in the division and finishing 2nd in the series point standings. Although it has only been a short period of time, Doug Soucy’s Won 4 Racing has been successful, and will retire with racing in 38 events, with an astounding 34 top 10 finishes, 18 top 5 finishes, 3 feature victories, 8 heat race victories, and an average points finish of 2.6. The decision following this announcement has been made by Heroth Motorsports to purchase the car and keep it in the Heroth Motorsports stable at this time. Future plans for Kreig aren’t certain at this time. However Kreig will continue to sport the “04” if returning to the Oswego Speedway. These impressive numbers wouldn’t be possible without the continued help of Kreig’s sponsors which include Ray Hedger Fabrication, Little Lukes Childcare, Ontario Orchards, Fajita Grill, Save A Lot food stores of Fulton, Fingerlakes Machine, Doug’s Auto Advantage, G&G Oil and Fuel, NAPA of Johnstown, Mojo Photos, Dick Myers, and Cooper Custom Canvas.
