Pomona, CA (May 20, 2007) - Some people just know when to turn up the intensity. Johnny Greaves demonstrated again that he is one of those people as he dominated the top-level field of Pro-4’s in front of the biggest crowd to see a CORR race this side of Crandon, Wisconsin. The excitement was in the air as more than 10,000 of both newcomers and experienced off-road fans poured into the Fairplex. “I have been up tight all day because I really wanted to go out and get a win in front of all of these fans,” said Greaves. “It makes it special to look up from the podium and see the stands packed with screaming people. My TRD motor just ran beautiful all weekend and I new we had to deliver today.”
Johnny was really tuned in for this race as he stayed up late into Saturday night making fine adjustments to his Toyota Tundra himself. “I like to work on my truck myself. It seems to calm me down and give me a better feel for the truck out on the track,” said Greaves.
The Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota #22 Truck led all the laps from lap four on, where he passed Curt Leduc for the lead. The battle was full-on behind him as the rest of the field put on a show for the crowd trying to sort out the final two positions. Toyota teammate Rick Huesman finally outlasted Carl Renezeder for second, but finished about 6 seconds behind the Forest County Potawatomi rear fender of Greaves.
This was the first race where CORR used a stock car style start where trucks are staged in pairs and start from a rolling position. Greaves liked the procedure and seemed comfortable as he held his position through the treacherous first turn and then proceeded to do what he does better than anyone else in CORR history – WIN.
“Everything came together well today. My team, Toyota ,TRD, Monster Energy, Forest County Potawatomi, Fox Shox, BFGoodrich, KMC Wheels. Boatec and all the rest were really supporting me to get this season off to a good start and I think we are,” said Greaves.
