Chulavista, Calif (Oct 21 –22, 2006)
Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) finished out the 2006 season with a dual Nissan championship victory upon its return to Chula Vista for the “Nissan Shootout at the Otay Corral,” on October 21 and 22, 2006. Nissans proved their superiority at the 1.09-mile Chula Vista International Off-Road Raceway in Chula Vista, California, with Carl Renezeder, of Lake Forest, Calif., in Pro-2, winning Saturday’s Round 15 and finishing in 7th on Sunday’s Round 16 with his Titan-bodied race truck, clinching the Pro-2 season title; while in Pro-Lite, Chad Hord, of Felch, Mich., in his Frontier-bodied race truck, finished third in both Round 15 and Round 16, winning the Pro-Lite championship, making for a Nissan double-championship in 2006.
“Nissan Motorsports cannot be more proud of the efforts of two great drivers – in Pro-2, Carl Renezeder and in Pro-Lite,
Chad Hord – to win two CORR Championships in a single season,” said Ron Stukenberg, senior manager, Nissan Motorsports marketing and operations. “This season, CORR provided Nissan Motorsports with a tough and exciting proving ground for our components, and to say that we’re thrilled would be an understatement.”
Renezeder echoed Stukenberg’s enthusiasm. “There is no arguing with the toughness and reliability of our Titan race truck,” he said. “With six wins and a Pro 2 championship in this truck’s first racing season, we’re thankful for not only a great team effort, but salute Nissan Motorsports and their commitment to CORR and off-road competition.”
In Pro-Lite, Chad Hord and his Nissan Frontier race truck went through many literal ups and downs in the 2006 CORR season, but 13 podium finishes in 16 races proved more than sufficient to lock up the championship. “There’s no doubt that our dedicated effort,
teamwork and our partnership with Nissan Motorsports is why we’re 2006 champions,” said Hord. “The competition in Pro-Lite is very tough, but my Frontier race truck was fantastic all season and our results prove what the truck and my team are capable of.”
Its 9th season now concluded, Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) combines fender-to-fender racing on challenging closed course dirt tracks in the Midwest and Southern California.
