Greaves Puts Forest County Potawatomi on Top of Podium in Bark River with Another Monster Win in WSORR Round 6

Bark River, MI (July 15, 2007) – Johnny Greaves repeated his Saturday performance by winning the WSORR Round VI by a 30 second interval in the highly competitive Pro-4 Class. Greaves drove his Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota to the front of the pack in lap one and never looked back.

“It felt good to get a weekend sweep going again,” stated Greaves. “The Forest County Potawatomi fans were all here and I was just glad I could give them a sweep here close to home.”

The race began with Greaves in a tough starting position near the outside as they began their “land rush” start. But Greaves put on a fast charge down the hill toward the first turn, passing all but Adrian Cenni in the first turn. Cenni would crash in the second turn giving Greaves the opening to move out front while veterans Scott Douglass and Carl Renezeder battled hard for second and third positions. As race unfolded, Greaves continued to increase his lead on every lap. Douglas finally secured the second spot when Renezeder pulled off with a mechanical problem on lap 6. Kent Brasho would sneak in to finish third and round out the podium.

“This was really fun this weekend since a lot of my local fans were here. We have done some testing since the last race and it really paid off. My TRD Tundra really felt good out there and that always makes a difference,” said an elated Greaves from the pits.

Next, Greaves heads to Crandon where he will go after the coveted Borg-Warner Cup on Labor Day weekend.
