Greaves Puts Forest County Potawatomi on Top of Podium in Bark River with another Monster Win in WSORR Round 6; Greaves Wins U.P. Off-Road 100 at Bark River Michigan by a Monster Margin"It felt good to get a weekend sweep going again," stated Greaves. "The
Forest County Potawatomi fans were all here and I was just glad I could give
them a sweep here close to home."
The race began with Greaves in a tough starting position near the outside as
they began their "land rush" start. But Greaves put on a fast charge down
the hill toward the first turn, passing all but Adrian Cenni in the first
turn. Cenni would crash in the second turn giving Greaves the opening to
move out front while veterans Scott Douglass and Carl Renezeder battled hard
for second and third positions. As race unfolded, Greaves continued to
increase his lead on every lap. Douglas finally secured the second spot when
Renezeder pulled off with a mechanical problem on lap 6. Kent Brasho would
sneak in to finish third and round out the podium.
"This was really fun this weekend since a lot of my local fans were here. We
have done some testing since the last race and it really paid off. My TRD
Tundra really felt good out there and that always makes a difference," said
an elated Greaves from the pits.
Next, Greaves heads to Crandon where he will go after the coveted
Borg-Warner Cup on Labor Day weekend.
Greaves Wins U.P. Off-Road 100 at Bark River Michigan by a Monster Margin (Round 5)
Bark River, MI (July 14, 2007) - Johnny Greaves showed that the Monster
Energy Potawatomi Toyota Pro-4 Off-Road Team is a "prime time" racing
program by winning the annual U.P. Off-Road 100 here at Bark River, Michigan
by a 15 second interval over a strong field of veteran short-course racers.
Much to the delight of the huge crowd of Johnny Greaves fans, Greaves had
his BFGoodrich Tires humming on the well-prepped track in the upper
peninsula of Michigan.
"BFG's really worked," said a happy Greaves from the podium. "Curt and the
crew had the truck prepped well this time around and it paid off for us."
The race started from a land rush where Greaves fought hard to end up in
third behind veterans Scott Douglas and Carl Renezeder. Greaves wasted no
time going to the lead when he made a trademark pass on Renezeder in the
back corner turn, leaping into the turn. It was just a matter of time before
Greaves tracked down Douglas and made the pass for the lead. It was pretty
much smooth sailing from there to the end as Greaves continued to add to is
lead with every lap. "I was happy to get the lead early [and] see a lot of
blue sky," said Greaves.
"He did what he had to do today," said Randall Speir, Off-Road Program
Manager for TRD. "There are a lot of Toyota guys back in Costa Mesa that
work hard to have days like this and its great to work with Greaves and the
Monster Energy Potawatomi Team who put us on the top of the podium today."
Johnny Greaves, the winningest racer in CORR history, continues his quest to
be the fastest off-road driver at the track on Sunday and will once again
endeavor to put his team on the podium.
