Rob MacCachren won
the CORR Pro-4 Championship in 2000 and 2001. "Steve and Red Bull
offered me the opportunity to come back into the CORR Series, driving
their Pro-2 Ford race truck and I’m honored to accept their invitation.
I am very excited to have the chance to represent the professionals
involved in Red Bull Off Road Racing, which include many of the same
sponsors involved with my desert racing program. BFGoodrich Tires, FOX
Racing Shox and Riviera Racing were all excited when this deal came
together. Teaming with Steve in a two-truck team for the entire season
is a dream come true. Jim Baldwin has taken CORR to a new level here in
the West. The new schedule and increased national television exposure is
the beginning of pushing off road racing to a nationwide audience and we
are very excited about this opportunity," commented MacCachren.
