Debuting at the Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing (WSORR) Forest County Potawatomi Brush Run Races at Crandon Raceway this past weekend, the all-new Nissan Motorsports-supported Nissan Titan PRO 4x4 race truck immediately proved to be a stout competitor, taking a win at the "14th Annual Potawatomi Chairman's Cup Race," as well as a two third-place finishes in Saturday's Rounds 3 and Sunday's Round 4 WSORR competition, driven by championship-winning driver Carl Renezeder. Additionally in the PRO Light Pickup division, Chad Hord, piloting his Nissan Frontier-bodied race truck, took a second place in Round 3 and won the Round 4 race.
"We knew that the new Nissan Motorsports 4-wheel drive Titan-bodied race truck was going to be competitive, but to take a win in the first weekend of competition is more than we could have expected," said Nissan Motorsports Marketing and Operations Senior Manager Ron Stukenberg. "Capped off with four podium finishes and a win for Chad Hord and his Frontier-bodied race truck is a true testament to the dominance of Nissan Motorsports power and the championship-winning drivers, Carl Renezeder and Chad Hord, as well as their top-flight teams."
The 2007 season has seen a number of debuts for Nissan Motorsports, not just in the newly-formed WSORR racing series, but also for Renezeder's 715-horsepower 4-wheel drive Titan race truck this past weekend, as well as an all-new 310-horsepower Nissan Frontier race truck in the PRO Light Pickup division, which debuted at the inaugural WSORR event on May 19 and 20.
