- THE
STARS OF CHAMPIONSHIP OFF ROAD RACING HEAD BACK TO LOS ANGELES TO BATTLE
IT OUT
Newport Beach, CA (June 3, 2008)— Returning to the Fairplex in Pomona,
June 7 and 8, the 2008 Championship Off Road Racing TM season is heating
up as serious battles are beginning to take shape. As CORRTM reaches the
third stop in its tour, the 860 horsepower, four-wheel drive Pro 4TM
class is led by Fabtech/Toyo Tires’s star Rick Huseman, while AMSOIL'
Scott Douglas and Monster Energy Drink’s superstar driver Johnny Greaves
trail closely behind.
In the fiercely competitive Pro 2® class, Ricky Johnson and Jeremy
McGrath join Carl Renezeder in chasing Rob MacCachren for the top spot.
Team Red Bull’s Johnson and Monster Energy’s McGrath, both former
Supercross Champions, took podiums recently in Las Vegas, along with
Renezeder narrowing MacCachren’s lead. In the Pro Buggy and Single Buggy
classes, Menzies Motorsport’s MacCachren and Bryan Freeman are looking
to reinforce their dominance after strong runs in the first four rounds
have put them both at the top of their respective classes. In the Pro
Lite® class, reigning Pro Lite Champion Robert Naughton is fighting his
way to the top of the class but Pappas and Beer’s Rodrigo Ampudia and
five-time Pro Lite Champion Jeff Kincaid are standing in Naughton’s way,
forcing Naughton to use his driving skills to illustrate why he was
crowned as the 2007 Driver of the Year.
“CORR has intense racing coming up this weekend; people will be
disappointed if they miss it. The Fairplex has proven itself to be a
great venue with challenging pavement areas combined with jumps, dirt,
and “the big dig” where we’ve actually dug a huge hole in the ground to
give the track challenging terrain,” said Cissy Baldwin, COO of CORR.
Gates open at 9:00 AM on both Saturday and Sunday. Racing action begins
at noon. Tickets are available online at www.corracing.com as well as
onsite, at the event. General Parking is located at Gate 17 on Fariplex
Dr.
The Fairplex is located in Pomona in Los Angeles County, drawing fans
from the largest populated county in the nation, according to the 2005
US Census. The Fairplex in Pomona is the home of the Los Angeles County
Fair, the host of the NHRA Winternationals and the NHRA Twilight Cruise,
and the home of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum.
Championship Off Road Racing™ brings high action, four-wheel motorsports
including two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive trucks to the closed
course off road arena. The 2008 Championship Off Road Racing race season
includes eight events at tracks located in Los Angeles, CA, San Diego,
CA and Las Vegas, NV.
