RICK HUSEMAN TOOK HOME HIS FIRST PRO 4 WIN TODAY, WHILE CORR GUEST DRIVER JEREMY MCGRATH WAS IMPRESSIVE IN THE PRO 2 JASON BALDWIN QUALIFIER

-SATURDAY RACE RECAP-

(Saturday, September 15, 2007)--CORR is officially back and in action at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster, CA. The battles were intense in all three Pro races. Rick Huseman raced his way to his first CORR Pro 4 win, and Robert Naughton dominated the Pro Lite class.

Guest CORR driver Jeremy McGrath started on the pole in the Jason Baldwin Memorial Cup Qualifier with Dan Vanden Heuvel starting on the outside of row one. When the race went green Vanden Heuvel took off quickly dominating the outside line successfully passing Jeremy McGrath in turn one. Red Bull driver Rob MacCachren started in the 5th position, but shot through the field taking over the second position on lap two. Meanwhile guest driver Jeremy McGrath held onto fourth place. MacCachren and Vanden Heuvel continued to battle it out for the first position; Vanden Heuvel led the first eight laps of the race before the mandatory caution came out. When the race went green Vanden Heuvel continued to lead with MacCachren reeling him in, Johnson took over third on lap ten and MacCachren successfully passed Vanden Heuvel on lap eleven. In the end it was MaCachren with another win for Team Red Bull, followed by Ricky Johnson in second and Carl Renezeder placing third.

Rick Huseman started on the pole in the Lucas Oil Pro 4 Points race on Saturday. On turn two of lap one Carl Renezeder flipped landing on the hood of his truck bringing out the first caution. Renezeder was able to stay in the race, but was sent to the back of the lead lap. Johnny Greaves and Huseman battled it out in turns one and two of lap two. With Greaves taking off with the lead the battle intensified for second between the number 86 of Josh Baldwin and the number 36 of Huseman. Huseman looked to the inside of lap five securing second position. Meanwhile defending Pro 4 Champion Johnny Greaves in his Monster Energy Drink Toyota continued to lead the field. Baldwin continued to fight for third, but was passed on lap seven by the number seven of Scott Douglas. The mandatory caution came out on lap eight with Greaves still leading the field, Huseman in second and Douglas following in third. The race went green and Greaves took off again with an impressive restart. Renezeder brought the caution out for a second time when he flipped over landing on the hood of his truck coming out of turn one. Renezeder was able to stay in the race, but was sent to the back of the field. Greaves took off again with Huseman in the number 36 Fabtech Toyota battling him for the lead position. On lap fourteen race leader Johnny Greaves went over the K Rail coming out of turn one. Huseman took over the lead for the final three laps which resulted in his first CORR Pro 4 win. Douglas finished second and Steve Barlow rounded out the podium.

“This is so awesome I don’t know what to say I need to thank my sponsors and my brothers for their support,” said Huseman. “After Johnny went over the wall, I thought drive nice, calm and slow, the track was so fast I just held on,” said Rick Huseman.

Robert Naughton led the field to green in the Lucas Oil Pro Lite race on Saturday. Kyle LeDuc got turned around in turn one of lap one. LeDuc steadily worked his way from the back up through the field to eighth. Ampudia crashed off the table top in turn one on lap three, ending his race. When the race went green again Naughton continued to lead the race, Huseman sat in second with Casey Currie in third. As Naughton continued to lead, former Pro Lite Champ Kyle LeDuc had made his way up to the fourth position, and Currie to second when the mandatory caution came out on lap eight. On lap nine LeDuc aggressively fought for the third position while Naughton continued to pull away from the field. LeDuc made the pass around Currie in turn two of lap ten, only to loose the position when Currie passed him in turn three. LeDuc was able to successfully secure second on the stretch before turn five. In the end Naughton who led every lap of the race took the win. The resilient Kyle LeDuc took second and Casey Currie held onto third.
