Chula Vista , Calif., (June 10, 2007) –Robert "The Fig" Naughton railed his Schampa/Maxxis Pro Lite to a huge victory over Rodrigo Ampudia, Casey Currie, Josh Hintz, Jeff Geister and perhaps his new nemesis, Jeff Huseman on Sunday afternoon. Noticably absent was Rockstar sponsored racer - Kyle LeDuc who was nowhere to be seen in his normal race truck. LeDuc apparently started the race in his sisters old school Pro Lite in order to obtain the maximum amount of points for the season series point's championship.
Chula Vista , Calif., (June 10, 2007) – In perhaps the best race of the weekend so far, Carl Renezeder and Ricky Johnson put on a display of wild moves as the CORR Race Nation was entertained beyond belief. It just doesn't get any better than today's Pro 2 race. The first 7 laps of the race were not as entertaining as final run where Ricky Johnson cut inside of Carl Renezeder several times taking position, but then losing position only a couple turns later where Carl cleanly past Ricky back for the lead. Todd LeDuc ran hard in third position, but the entertainment was all between Johnson and Renezeder for all the marbles. This weekend has been the Carl Renezeder Show as he continues to fall more in love with this Chula Vista race course than ever before.
Renezeder DRIVES Wild to Capture Jason Baldwin Pro 4 Memorial Cup Race
Chula Vista , Calif., (June 10, 2007) – Carl Renezeder faced the nation's top racers in what was a great battle between some of the biggest names in Championship Off Road Racing. Greaves, Douglas, Cenni and Coyne all faded from the competition as Renezeder charged to the front in front of Troy Herbst and Steve Barlow. Troy Herbst drove the #19 race truck as hard as he coule in search of a podium finish and it paid off as many of the field bashed with the competition on the way to the finish line. Johnny Greaves driving the Monster Energy / Toyota Pro 4 got tangled up with a group of trucks that included Adrian Cenni and Rick Huseman who sandwiched Greaves in between them and that was all she had for the #22 Pro 4. Greaves pulled off the course as Huseman and Cenni also suffered truck damage. Adrian Cenni lost his right front a-arm and spindle while Huseman was able to limp around the race course to the finish line.
Carl Renezeder, driving his so-called old Pro 4, railed the track here at Chula Vista saying, " The old truck does not want to go into retirement. The new truck is nearly complete, but this one does not want to go into the garage."

Chula Vista, Calif., (June 9, 2007) – Skyjacker's Scott Taylor wasted no time acquainting himself with the dirt here at The Rock, as Taylor's practice session turned dramatic when he rolled it over putting the Skyjacker Pro 2 on the lid in Turn 6 after the Ski Jump. Taylor scrambled out of the truck as the truck smoked with his BFGoodrich wheels facing into the sky and the 6-time CORR Champion on his lid.
Some of the other Pro 2's didn't fair well either as Jesse Jones, driving the #76 Pro 2, once again experienced ignition / fuel delivery problems in his FABTECH Pro 2.
