Seven-Time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath Becomes
-
Regular Member of Baldwin Racing and Team Toyo™ Off-Road in 2008
April 10, 2008 - CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA – During the 2007 CORR
(Championship Off-Road Racing™) season, Seven-Time Supercross
Champion Jeremy McGrath piloted a Baldwin Racing-prepared, 800+
horsepower Pro 2® class Ford F-150 truck equipped with Toyo® Open
Country M/T®-R tires to a podium finish in Lancaster, California.
Competing as a “guest driver” at only a few races during last
season, he demonstrated his ability to easily transfer his
remarkable racing skills to four-wheeled vehicles.
For 2008, McGrath becomes a full-time driver for Baldwin Racing,
joining teammate and Pro 4™ class driver, Josh Baldwin, both
competing on 35X12.50R17 Toyo Open Country M/T-R tires. The team
will be a force to reckon with in CORR, as Baldwin also recorded
multiple podiums on Toyo tires during the 2007 season.
“I’m excited to be part of the development of Toyo’s CORR race tire
and of the Open Country M/T. I’ve put a lot of laps on the new tire
during practice and testing with the Toyo Team,” said McGrath. “I
can’t wait for the season to start. Working with their team and
engineers, I’ve seen that they share my drive to put Toyo on top of
the box.”
“We are excited to have Jeremy McGrath as our newest member of Team
Toyo Off-Road,” said Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports
for Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “McGrath will bring his huge fan base to
CORR events and will deliver exciting results for Toyo.”
Toyo’s Open Country M/T has won everything from the Baja 1000, to
short course events, rock racing and rock crawling events. It’s
“Attack” tread pattern provides maximum traction, yet is quiet and
comfortable on the road. To learn more about Team Toyo drivers and

Toyo manufactures and distributes a complete line of replacement
tires for high performance cars, luxury vehicles, light trucks and
SUVs as well as tires for commercial trucks, buses and off-road and
construction applications.
