Johnny Greaves Qualifies in the Top SPOT
for Saturday's CORR Racing Action
Dallas,
Texas (October 20, 2007) CORR Champion - Johnny Greaves smiled widely as he claimed the top spot in the wide-open Saturday qualifier plter Energy Pro 4 in the pole position for Saturday night racing at Texas Motor Speedway. Facing tough competition by Scott Douglas, Rick Huseman, Josh Baldwin, Curt LeDuc and many others, Greaves was the fastest qualifier here on the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
With racing action beginning in the early afternoon the pits have already begun to fill up with Texas fans of off road motorsports.
The anticipation of today's racing action is abuzz as the nation's top drivers will vie for the top spot against the reigning CORR Pro 4 Champion - Johnny Greaves.
Greaves will start in the pole position and will be out in clean air early in the race as the followers will attempt to run him down in the green and black Toyota Tundra.
Crew Chief Curt Greaves commented, "Our strategy in tonight's race is get out in front and never look back. Once we get through the first race, we'll be setting up the truck for the point's race. We need to run clean in the first race to be ready for the second race. Racing two races in the same day is tough on everyone. We've been doing it all season long, we just have to keep Johnny out in front running clean."
DIRTnewz will bring you the racing action live on the web here beginning at 7:30 p.m. CST right here!
Nascar Driver Robby Gordon Strolls Around CORR Texas Motor Speedway Among The Fans Saturday Afternoon
Dallas,
Texas (October 20, 2007) Nascar Nextel Cup driver Robby Gordon taxied onto the Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport runway at exactly 2:55 p.m. CST enroute to what is expected to be an encore performance from Friday's night epic racing. Starting from mid-pack, Robby Gordon wasted no time in making up ground as he charged towards the front racing against Ricky Johson, Carl Renezeder, Red Bull's Rob MacCachren, Rockstar's Todd LeDuc and Skyjacker's Scott Taylor. Gordon was late to the Friday night party arriving over an hour behind schedule before climbing into the race truck and assaulting the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Gordon drove like he'd been running laps here the whole week when in fact he only just jumped off the plane and came directly to the race track. It was all good until he caught slight rut in turn five near the end of the race and flipped the Baldwin Racing Pro-2 ending his run for the checkers. The fire burned out the bottom of the race truck for quite awhile as DIRTnewz Staffers surmised that the truck would have suffered serious electrical failure during the fire. However, the truck was driven off the dirt track and under the direction of Kevin Pence, the Baldwin Racing crew performed their magic on the so-called "Black Widow."
Early Saturday morning, Baldwin Racing's Team Manager - Patrick W. smiled and told DIRTnewz, "I'm surprised that you guys didn't think that truck would get back on the track. Our guys routinely perform miracles and that was yet another display of team work."
