Nissan Motorsports-backed racers take five podiums in three classes at Crandon; PRO 4x4 Nissan Titan racing truck scores eight podium finishes out of eleven 2007 WSORR events.
Carl Renezeder proved the strength of his new - for - 2007 Nissan Titan - bodied PRO 4x4 racing machine with a dominating win at the 38th annual BorgWarner World Championships at the challenging Crandon Raceway in Crandon, Wisc. This victory, in front of record crowds during Rounds 10 and 11 of the Lucas Oil World Series of Off - Road Racing (WSORR) event on September 1 and 2, 2007, marked the continuation of Nissan Motorsports success in closed-course off road racing. Renezeder, of Lake Forest, Calif., also chalked up a third place finish in the money - only BorgWarner Shootout in the PRO 4x4 machine, as well as another third place on Sunday in his 700 - horsepower PRO 2WD Titan - bodied race truck.
Also taking their familiar places on the WSORR podium at Crandon were PRO Light Pickup class Nissan Frontier drivers Chad Hord and Art Schmitt. Hord, of Felch, Mich., took a second place in Saturday's Round 10 event, while Schmitt, based out of Pittsburgh, Penn., grabbed a third place on Saturday and a second place in Sunday's Round 11 event. Both Hord and Schmitt compete in 310 - plus horsepower Nissan Frontier - bodied racing machines.
"Crandon lived up to its reputation as one of the most challenging off - road racing tracks in the country, but the Nissan Motorsports' teams and drivers were up to task with multiple podiums and another victory for the 4 - wheel drive Titan," said Nissan Motorsports Marketing and Operations Senior Manager Ron Stukenberg. "Our 2007 results really speak for themselves, and with only three points separating Chad Hord from the PRO Light Pickup championship, we are sure to continue our success!"
