great people over the years."
Race teams and Trophy Truck
builders constantly look for
ways to improve upon the
previous season. For those
who began working with
Dougan's Racing Engines, they
quickly discovered that Fields
and his team were able to
provide the detail, power, and
reliability they were looking for.
"From the time a truck builder
receives an engine, they look
for several things; attention to
detail, horsepower, reliability,
and track support," said Fields.
"I believe that we do that well.
For me, winning races with
our engines requires a team
effort. We spend a very large
amount of time working with
these teams from engine
delivery to chassis dyno testing
and track testing before we
ever get to a race. For me, the
racing community really is like
a family because of the amount
of time we spend together.
I truly enjoy our time at the
races and with our customers."
Building a team that Fields
can rely upon is something that
is also unique to top engine
builders in racing. Fields' team
is no different and began with
Fields himself, working under
the company's founder, Terry
Dougan. "Terry Dougan was a
good-ole-boy from Tennessee
and probably one of the best
mechanics you would ever
meet," said Fields. "He was
very demanding and expected
a lot out of you." Fields began
working with Dougan in 1980
from a work program through
his high-school. At that time,
Fields was 16 years old and
