Douglas Looks For Second Straight Win

Coming off record attendance in Chula Vista,Calif., Championship Off Road Racing’s final 2008 visit to the Fairplex in Pomona promises to keep the expected sold out crowd on their feet in what is shaping up to be the most exciting season of short course off road racing in history.

A dominating performance just three weeks ago by defending Pro 4 Champion Carl Renezeder has now given him a narrow margin over AMSOIL's Scott Douglas. Douglas won his first race of 2008 three weeks ago in Chula Vista. A tandem of Toyota drivers round out the top four Pro 4 contenders with Fabtech’s Rick Huseman and Monster Energy’s Johnny Greaves looking for strong podium finishes.

In the Pro 2 class, the significant lead once enjoyed by Rockstar Energy Drink’s Rob McCachren has given way to a tight race. Renezeder holds on to second while the energy branded trio of Rockstar/Makita’s Todd LeDuc, AMSOIL/RedBull’s Ricky Johnson and AMSOIL/Monster Energy’s Jeremy McGrath round out the top five.

Wisconsin native and five time champion Traxxas’ Jeff Kincaid looks to regain the form that has kept him atop the Pro Lite standings while both Rob Naughton and Rodrigo Ampudia have the top spot in their sights.

“The drivers now know this track and many of the races are tightening up. It will be interesting to see if we are going to see some new names and faces on the podium or if the top drivers are going to try to distance themselves from the pack,” commented CORR COO Cissy Baldwin. “There’s going to be some amazing racing.”

Saturday's race will air LIVE on SPEED starting at 5:00 p.m. EST. AMSOIL is the Exclusive Official Oil of Championship Off Road Racing.


Until then, we'll see you at the races.
