Ft. Worth, TX (May 16, 2009) – The Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota Team of Johnny Greaves and Jeremy McGrath excited the Texas fans this weekend in Rounds 1 and 2 of the new Traxxas TORC Truck Series by putting on a show filled with vintage Greaves’ fast laps and exciting crashes. McGrath added to the teams allure by showing that he is going to be right in the middle of the Pro 2WD championship hunt in 2009, as he looked extremely quick in the new Toyota.

McGrath took to the stage first Friday night with a strong start and got into the hunt for the lead early, battling with Pro 2WD veterans, Rob McCachren and Ricky Johnson. After battling hard McGrath slid wide and let Johnson take the lead late in the race giving McGrath a second place finish on the podium and got the new TORC Season off to a great start for the supercross legend. “The fans got a real charge out of seeing RJ and me going at it and I can’t wait to get even in Perris,” stated McGrath.

Next up was 6-time Champion and team owner Johnny Greaves in the Pro 4X4 class where Greaves jumped out to a huge lead on lap 1. Greaves led by a wide margin with teammate Rick Huseman and Scott Douglas following behind by the time the competition yellow flag dropped at the midway point. After the yellow, Greaves increased his lead once again until he started having some front drive issues causing an unexpected spinout, allowing Huseman’s Toyota to gain the lead with Kyle LeDuc in second. Greaves fought past the younger LaDuc and into second and went after Huesman, but once again the front-drive issue prevented him from catching Huseman. Greaves settled for a hard-fought third to round out the podium.

On Saturday, the rains poured all day and left the track a little muddy for the main events on Saturday. By 9:00 pm the track was looking great and The Pro 2WD took to the track. McGrath started in 5th and his window screen plugged up with the heavy clay and he but battled back to challenge for forth place, but had to settle for 5th with mud caked on his window screen,

Greaves started 4th position but quickly moved in to challenge for the lead. As he came around for the second lap, he cut the inside of a jump in turn four and sent the truck spiraling onto its side, breaking an upper A-arm that ended Greaves round 2 efforts. “I am disappointed in the results, but I am excited about the way the new Tundra performed,” stated Greaves. “This new Toyota is great and it proved it is the truck to beat in the Pro 4x4 division in 2009.”
