Greaves Brings Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota Pro-4 Off-Road Team “Home to Crandon” for Big Weekend – Debuts New Tundra

Crandon, WI (June 24, 2007) - Johnny Greaves rolled into Crandon this weekend with big plans to show the hometown crowd his new Toyota Tundra Truck body and give the fans what they expect – a hard charging Johnny G “all-out” charge to the front. He did just that and finished the weekend with a first place, second place and a damaged truck from an accident in the Potawatomi Chairman’s Cup Race.

“Overall, I was disappointed not to win the cup race for the Forest County Potawatomi fans, but in really was a pretty solid weekend of racing,” stated Greaves after the race. “In this sport it is pretty tough to get through three back-to-back races in two days with out some issues. It is a pretty tough sport, you know.”

In the first race on Saturday, Greaves started out in 5th from the start and decided to sit back and watch for a while before making a big charge that put him in second behind Scott Douglas. Greaves went for the pass over the big jump but Douglas tapped his brakes sending Johnny G into the back of the Douglas truck. This bent the hood up in Greaves face and he could not see well enough to take any chances. He went on to finish second anyway.

In the second WSORR point’s race on Saturday, Greave showed that his new team has what it takes and “checked out” for a big win. He led “box to wire” with a big holeshot at the famed Crandon first turn. “It was open-air” form that point,” exclaimed Greaves. “This is what we came looking for and I am very proud of the way my team and truck worked today.”

In the Chairman’s Cup Race, Greaves got off to a solid start behind Scott Douglas and the rest of the Pro-2 guys that got a 20 second “head-start”. Douglas and Greaves easily picked their way through the Pro-2’s and were off to the races. Douglas crashed into the rear of Forest County Potawatomi’s Evan Evans while Greaves was following close behind ready to make a pass. As the contact developed, Greaves clipped Douglas and severely damaged his trusty Fox Shox sending Greaves out to the pits to survey the damage. The damage was done and Greaves was through for the day. “I was really planning on making a pass on Douglas at any moment when he got into it with Evans,” said Greaves. “I am really disappointed because my Toyota was really running fast all weekend, so I knew it was possible to sweep the weekend.”

Overall, it was encouraging to watch Johnny get two podium finishes and show great speed on the track he helped to make famous.
