Pomona, CA (June 8, 2008)—The field of Pro 4's was stacked Sunday afternoon as the biggest stars and racers in off road racing lined up against each other in front of 10,000 fans packed into the LA Fairplex-Pomona CORR Stadium. With the fans standing on their feet the nation short course warriors sped down the front stretch in search of victory.
In the end after a very long 18 laps, it was Rick Huseman driving the #3 FABTECH/Toyo Tires/TRD Toyota Pro 4 that roared across the finish line taking the victory among the biggest stars in off road racing.
Huseman and fellow Toyota TRD teammate, Monster Energy Johnny Greaves, driving matching Toyota TRD powerplants, jumped out to a commanding lead before the halfway point of the race and then once the green flag dropped signaling the second half of the race, Greaves suffered mechanical problem with his drivetrain and that sidelined the #4 for the remainder of the race.
Rockstar CORR racing legend, Curt LeDuc, charged hard from the middle of the pack and made the final turn hoping to podium, but not before he tangled with Red Bull's Steve Barlow who ran solid all race long. LeDuc was passed at the last turn as Barlow ran fast to the checkers.
Finishing in third on the podium was Amsoil's Scott Douglas who fought off the charges from the field throughout the race.
POMONA, Calif.—Leading the entire race, wire-to-wire, Todd LeDuc drove his Rockstar/Makita Pro 2 to his second victory of the weekend in front of a packed house of cheering fans. LeDuc qualified mid-pack, however the inversion put him in the front row and that faired well for the young Rockstar/Makita sponsored racer.
LeDuc jumped out to an early start and ran in clean air throughout the race pulling away from the competition. The followers in the lead pack chasing down the young LeDuc included 6-time Supercross Champion, Ricky Johnson and the hardcharging Jerry Whelchel in the Chet Huffman Motorsports race truck.
The entire field of Pro 2's put on one of the best races of the weekend as they delighted the fans with massive double-up jumps and a fair amount of carnage between 25 Pro 2 trucks that took to the race track. Rounding out the top five was veteran Skyjacker sponsored racer, Scott Taylor and Monster Energy's Johnny Greaves, who is racing Pro 2 for the first time in his career here in 2008.
POMONA, Calif.—Hailing from Crandon, Wisconsin, home of arguably the greatest off road race track in the United States, Jeff Kincaid pulled out all the stops this weekend in search of victory. Kincaid, a 5-time CORR Pro Lite champion, threw his name back into the hat of CORR Pro Lite racing after the 2007 season was captured by Robert Naughton. Kincaid raced only the WSORR Series in 2007, however the numbers of Pro Lites did not reach the level they were at CORR, where Kincaid has been crowed champion 5 different times. Kincaid returned to cross country treks and here in the mecca of Los Angeles, California, in front of 10,000 fans in a packed stadium and on NBC Sports, Kincaid dominated the field of Pro Lites out pacing any other challengers to take the victory.
Finishing second was Robert Naughton, who was blacked flagged in Round 5 for rough driving, but here in Round 6 he ran his #54 ReadyLift Ford Ranger fast enough to finish on the podium once again. Naughton caught up with the DIRTnewz Crew on Sunday morning and explained that Saturday's miscue with Bryce Menzies was a brain-fart and that he had spoke and apologized to Menzies for the mistake.
On the heels of the 2007 CORR Champion was Marty Hart and Rodrigo Ampudia who both pushed hard to catch the leaders.
