at Crandon Raceway


Renezeder Continues Winning Ways In Nissan Titan Race Trucks, Now in 4-Wheel Drive Class
In Addition to 2-Wheel Drive Class

NASHVILLE, TN. (June 19, 2007) – Nissan Motorsports and Carl Renezeder today introduced a new Nissan race truck for the 2007 season, a 4-wheel drive Nissan Titan-bodied racing machine. This new 715-horsepower truck will compete in the PRO 4x4 class in the newly-formed Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing (WSORR). Renezeder’s all-new 4-wheel drive race truck makes its debut June 23 and 24 at the WSORR Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run Races at Crandon Raceway, Crandon, Wisc. “An all-new Nissan Motorsports race truck is an important milestone for Nissan as we continue to build our off-road racing legacy,” said Nissan Motorsports Marketing and Operations Senior Manager Ron Stukenberg. “Having a driver of the championship caliber of Carl Renezeder behind the wheel is an added bonus. He’s had great success in the 2-wheel drive Titan, and we know he’ll be in the record books with the 4-wheel drive model.”

Renezeder will be running the new 4-wheel drive Titan-bodied race truck in addition to his class winning championship 2-wheel drive Titan-bodied race truck in the PRO 2WD (WSORR) and Pro-2 Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) class. The 4-Wheel Drive Nissan Titan Race Truck Prepared by Carl Renezeder’s top-flight racing team, the new race truck offers a number of unique features –most notably the adoption of a manual transmission, versus the automatic transmission regularly utilized in this class. “The five-speed manual transmission is more robust than the automatic, and also takes less horsepower away from the driveline,” said Renezeder. The new Nissan Titan race truck is powered by a proven Nissan Motorsports Endurance V8 engine with 715 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque race truck. The 4,100 pound racing vehicle rides on a long 116-inch wheelbase, with 18 inches of front wheel travel and 20 inches of rear wheel travel. Once the new Titan racer was completed, it was extensively tested, with impressive results. “Out of the box the new Titan felt competitive, and the lap times in our test sessions supported that,” said Renezeder. “No doubt there will be some ‘teething’ issues with this new truck, as with any new program, but I have total confidence in my team and the direction we’re going.” Carl Renezeder and Nissan Motorsports.
With more than 52 Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) wins on his resume, including three CORR Championships – the most recent in 2006 with the debut of the Pro-2 Nissan Titan-bodied race truck – Lake Forest, Calif. native Carl Renezeder is truly a force to be reckoned with in off-road competition. Thanks to his considerable accomplishments, the 43-year old Renezeder received one of the most prestigious accolades in off-road racing as Dirt Sports Magazine’s “2006 Driver of the Year,” besting a variety of other racers in various off-road racing series. Renezeder is known for his versatility and willingness to drive just about any off-road vehicle he can get his hands on – during a typical race weekend he may drive two classes of trucks. To that end, Renezeder will be driving Nissan Motorsports-supported Titan race trucks in both PRO 2WD/Pro-2 and PRO 4x4/Pro-4 classes. “After the phenomenal success in 2006 with the debut of our 2-wheel drive Nissan Titan-bodied race truck - with six wins and a CORR Pro-2 championship - it only made sense to take what our team learned and parlay it into a 4-wheel drive program,” said Renezeder. “Partnering with Nissan Motorsports has been a huge step forward for our program, and we constantly strive to live up to their unwavering belief in our team. The Titan program is unmatched in off-road racing, and I’m proud to be a partner of Nissan Motorsports.” More information about Renezeder can be found on his team website – www.teamrenezeder.com About Nissan Motorsports Nissan has a long heritage of Motorsports success, both off-road and on the track.
