Los Angeles (April 22, 2007) - Johnny Greaves picked up where he left off with an exciting win in round one of the Pro-4 class here at Antelope Valley Fairgrounds. Greaves led the race from beginning to end without relinquishing the lead. As expected from this exciting style of off-road racing, it was not your typical “runaway” with plenty of contact to keep the crowd on its feet for the entire race. Greaves, who had earlier won the pole position by having the fasted lap in qualifying, had to hold off an early aggressive charge by Carl Renezener on the first lap. Carl even pulled even with Greaves at the third turn. However, that seem to just light Greaves up and he charged to an 8 second lead halfway through he race.
Next, a fast Scott Douglas came charging up behind Greaves and their bumper actually got hooked together resulting in Douglas flipping over the wall in a dramatic crash. Greaves went on to win the victory. As Greaves was pulling into the winner’s circle a hot-tempered Scott Douglass shouting and pushing on Greaves as he made his way to the winners circle met him. The huge crowd let out a big round of boos, as it was obvious that Greaves had run a clean race.
On the podium, Greaves was calm as ever. “I never even knew Scott was back there until I felt our bumpers connect. Scott and I are friends and I am sure we will work it out later – we were just racing hard to win. “Its great to see the crowd and get that first win of the season under our belt,” stated Greaves.
The new Tundra power plant ran great and with The Forest County Potawatomi and Toyota being joined by Monster Energy Drink for a new team, look for Greaves to have the fans lining up in 2007.
