NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 7, 2007) – Nissan Motorsports clinched
another closed course off-road championship at the 2007 season finale
of the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) series with Carl Renezeder
and his new-for-2007 Nissan Titan-bodied Pro-4 race truck. The Pro-4
Championship was won at the final stop of the CORR series, the brand
new Las Vegas International Off Road Raceway in Primm, Nevada on
November 3-4, 2007.
Renezeder clinched the CORR Pro-4
championship on the first day of competition in Primm, thanks to his
season-long series of podium finishes in his four-wheel drive racing
machine.
Pro-2 was also successful for Renezeder and his
two-wheel drive Nissan Titan-bodied race truck, as he ended the 2007
CORR season third in the Pro-2 standings with a second-place finish in
Round 13 and an 11th-place finish in Round 14. Renezeder’s successful
Pro-2 season in included four wins, two second place finishes and one
third place finish – just as many podium finishes as his championship
2006 CORR season.
“Once again, Nissan Motorsports and Carl
Renezeder have demonstrated their dominance of closed-course off-road
racing, and we could not be happier in celebrating Carl’s CORR Pro-4
Championship with our new Titan race truck,” said Nissan Motorsports
Marketing and Operations Senior Manager Ron Stukenberg. “Between this
championship for Carl and Chad Hord’s PRO Light Pickup championship in
the Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing (WSORR), there’s no doubt
that Nissan Motorsports’ powerful engines and platforms, in combination
with the teams’ incredible efforts, are the winning ticket.” The CORR and WSORR points races are broadcast (tape delayed) on the SPEED Channel. Check local listings for times and dates.
Race Reports It didn’t take long in Saturday’s Round 13 for Carl
Renezeder to secure the Pro-4 Championship. His seventh place finish
was more than enough to take the title by 22 points over the
second-place contender. There was a tight points race brewing in
Pro-2, and as the dust settled from the finale, Renezeder was third in
the 2007 Pro-2 competition, a mere 17 points behind the leader and
three points behind the second-place finisher.
On Saturday’s
Round 13 Pro-2 race, Renezeder started on the pole but was shuffled
towards mid-pack as soon as the race started, necessitating a restart.
Once the race resumed, Renezeder dove into the fight, grabbing second
place and holding it throughout the run. Sunday’s Pro-2 Round 14
brought some additional bad luck to Renezeder, who flipped on lap seven
of the 15-lap heat race. Incredibly, Renezeder returned to competition
and finished 11th out of 19 entrants.
“What a great weekend
for my team and Nissan Motorsports at the CORR season finale, winning
the Pro-4 championship and coming in third in the Pro-2 championship in
our Titan race trucks,” said Renezeder. “These championships are a
salute to our strong Nissan Motorsports-supported race trucks, and I’m
sure 2008 will be even more exciting!” . About Nissan Motorsports Nissan
