SATURDAY RACE RECAP—CHAMPIONSHIP OFF ROAD RACING ROUND 5 at THE FAIRPLEX IN POMONA

Newport Beach, CA (June 7, 2008)— Round five of the Championship Off Road Racing season brought some of the best racing yet as the series’ top drivers battled for every position on the track. On a day that had hotly contested races in both the Pro 2 and Pro 4 classes, the Pro 4 Jason Baldwin Memorial Cup Pro 4 race saw a continuation of the rivalry between existing champion Carl Renezeder and Monster Energy Drink/Forest County Potawatomi star Johnny Greaves. In Pro 2, Makita/Rockstar Energy Drink driver Todd LeDuc turned back challenges from class leader Rockstar Energy Drink/Menzies Motorsports’s #21 Rob MacCachren and Red Bull/Bosch Power Tools’s Ricky Johnson to take his first win of the season. While the V8 trucks saw lots of big crashes and exciting lead changes, Traxxas/ Potawatomi Pro Lite  pilot Jeff Kincaid took a 15 second lead going into the mandatory caution flag that was reduced to just three seconds as he and second place finisher Marty Hart separated themselves from the field.

In Pro 4, Josh Baldwin, on the pole in his Bully Dog/Toyo Tires Ford held the early lead and was joined coming out of turn 3 with the Makita/Rockstar Ford of Kyle LeDuc and the Fabtech Toyota of Rick Huseman.  LeDuc and the Amsoil/Kumho Tire/Sycuan Pro 4 of Scott Douglas battled for the first half of the race allowing Pro 4 Champion Carl Renezeder to sneak in and take the lead. Renezeder took the low lines in the turns as LeDuc continued trying to make the pass. In lap 14, Douglas, LeDuc and Greaves brought on the heat gaining on Renezeder.  Lap 17 saw Greaves and LeDuc squeeze out Douglas coming out of turn 5. Then Greaves fought his way past Renezeder.  In the final turn with Greaves and Renezeder banging door-to-door, Greaves spun allowing Renezeder to make the pass and take the checkered flag.  Douglas and LeDuc rounded out the podium with Greaves finishing fourth.

In the Pro 2 race Todd LeDuc, in his Makita/Rockstar Energy Drink Ford held off challenges from the Red Bull Bosch Power Tools truck of Ricky Johnson and the Rockstar Energy Drink/Menzies Motorsports truck of class leader Rob MacCachren.  Lap 14 was the most exciting, as LeDuc, MacCachren and Johnson came out of turn 4 three wide.  In turn 5, Johnson made contact with MacCachren leaving LeDuc in first and reigning Pro 2 Champion Jerry Whelchel of Chet Huffman Motorsports in second.  On the white flag lap, Whelchel made contact with the wall on turn 2 and allowed Johnson to take second behind winner LeDuc.  Seven-time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath recovered from a disappointing qualifying position to take third in his Monster Energy/Bully Dog Ford.

The Pro Lite race gave the Traxxas/Forest County Potawatomi Toyota of Jeff Kinkaid victory over the #15 Ford of Marty Hart and the #2 Bully Dog/Speed Technologies Pro Lite of Casey Currie.  Kincaid ran away with the victory as the race for second heated up between Bryce Menzies in his Menzies Motorsports Ford and the Ready Lift Racing Ford of the defending Pro Lite Champion Robert Naughton.  In lap 10, Menzies spun out in turn 5 by Naughton, causing Menzies to go to the back of the pack.  In lap 12, Naughton, who was running third, was forced to the hot pits under a black flag, causing Naughton to return to the race at the rear of the field. Kincaid finished first, followed by Hart and Currie.

In rounding out the day’s action Rob MacCachren pulled off his 67^th career CORR win in his BFG Tires Alumi-Craft Honda after a hard fought race against Larry Foddrill.  Completing the Menzies sweep of the buggy classes, rookie Bryan Freeman took his fifth consecutive win in Single Buggy.
