The Monster Comes Out on Friday Night, Greaves Wins WSORR Round 7

Bark River, MI (August 10, 2007) – Johnny Greaves and his Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota Pro-4 Off-Road team started the weekend off right with a Friday night win at Bark River’s U.P 100 with the rare Friday evening race, World Series Off-Road Racing offered a free admission night for the fans which drew a large crowd to see pro class drivers compete.

The win did not come without great deal of team effort. Randall Speir, Off-Road Program Manager for TRD and Johnny made the call to change the engine when a glitch developed following the morning practice. The change proved to be a good call with a combination of Johnny the TRD motor and BFGoodrich tires all hooking up for an impressive first place finish over a field of 7 Pro-4x4 trucks.

When the green flag flew, Greaves found himself in third place with Scott Douglas and Adrian Cenni in first and second and Carl Renezeder right on Johnny’s tail. On lap four, Johnny overtook Douglas and Cenni to take the lead and never looked back. Renezeder pulled off the track with mechanical problems leaving Al Drews to battle for second. Johnny “checked out” and won by a comfortable margin to once again put his Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota on top of the podium.
