Johnny Greaves Back on Top with a Monster Win at Crandon International Speedway!

June 24, 2006 - Crandon, Wisconsin

Johnny Greaves started the way he finished, way out front. With a huge lead from the lightning fast “holeshot at Crandon” Johnny pulled a big lead with his Potawatomi Toyota Tundra with razor-sharp performance coming out of the turns and an unusually smooth ride around the famous Crandon track in the premier Pro 4 class.

“My truck performed great today. The BF Goodrich tires and TRD motor came through for me again,” stated a delighted Johnny Greaves while on the podium. “This is Potawatomi country and I always love winning in our backyard. Curt and the crew really had the truck the way it should be for this one”, Johnny said referring to 2 time CORR mechanic of the year, Curt Greaves, Johnny’s brother and crew chief.

While Greaves did his disappearing act out front, there was plenty of exciting race battles happening behind him with Renezenner, Douglas and Leduc having epic battles throughout the race. The fast trio kept Greaves in sight for a few laps until the battle really got heated between these three and yellow flags started flying. Midway through the race a yellow flag seemed to have brought the pack a little closer to Greaves, but he turned up the flow of Sunoco race fuel and went on to win comfortably in front of the big Wisconsin crowd. The fans got to see some great racing action that CORR has become synonymous with. Renezenner, Douglas and Leduc really shared some paint today at Crandon at the delight of the crowd.

There were a lot of questions after the race from folks asking if a repeat of the 2005 championship was in the works for 2006. “I take one race at time”, stated the record breaking CORR champ with a big smile. “Its way too early to even begin talking about points and the championship. I figure my job is to win races, anything after that will take care of itself. I’m just happy about this race – tomorrow we will suit up and go at it again. I just want to give my fans, team and sponsors the best effort I can on every single lap. If I do that, things will work out just fine.”
