CJ Greaves Puts Traxxas/ Monster Energy/ Oakley/ FoxShox/ BFG on the Podium for the 6th Time in LOORRS Super Lite Class

Surprise, AZ (Sept 29, 2010) - CJ Greaves, fresh off of his Traxxas TORC Series Super Buggy Championship, turned his focus on the Super Lite truck class in the Lucas Series this past weekend at Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, Arizona. CJ entered the weekend with his Traxxas/ Monster Energy/ Oakley/ FoxShox/ BFGoodrich machine sitting in the number two points spot. He would leave remaining in the top five with just a few points separating first to fifth place.

Saturday, CJ was looking good in the early going of the race. He made quick work of the field and was sitting in the third spot at the competition caution. With the field consisting of various levels of talent and experience, it makes for some very unpredictable racing. When the green flag fell for the restart, Twitch Stenberg got into CJ, eventually spinning him out and Tanner Foust finished him off a turn later, giving him a flat tire. Black flags were issued but the damage had already been done taking CJ out of contention.

CJ would regroup for Sunday's race but he would have his work cut out for him as he would have his number 33 starting from the back of the field of 13 Super Lite trucks. When the green flag feel, he began to patiently work his way through the field and made his way up to fifth just ahead of the mid-race caution. Person and Ward, who were running third and fourth at the time, got together on the restart in turn five. CJ took advantage and charged up to the third position. With the white flag waving, it was Stenberg, Anderson, Greaves, Clark, and George in the top five. As the top five worked hard to take one more position before the checkered, Anderson made a mistake, opening the door for Greaves to move up into second place just before the start/finish line to bring home his 6th podium of the Super Lite season.

The LOORRS will take the month of October off and reconvene at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on November 6-7th.
