San Diego, California -John Herder got the hole shot off the line as 10 Unlimited Desert Buggies took to the race course. In a change of the lineup, BFGoodrich's Rob MacCachren filled in for Fox Racing Shox/Viejas Casino sponsored driver - John Marking, who suffered an injury on Friday night. The injury to his hand sidelined him from driving, but MacCachren got in Marking's Jimco-built race car and hit the starting line as if it was his own. MacCachren was third off the line and after a single lap familiarizing himself with the 1.7 desert course and Marking's car, he was making up time on Herder who had jumped to a lead.

But even before the first lap was completed, Jeff Seifert took a wild ride as he rolled three times heading into the first turn. Seifert is racing a four-seat powerful black off-road car that doesn't really seem to hang with the top guns in this class, but at times he's shown some big speeds. The big black four seat rolled down the starting stretch like it was in slow motion. Luckily, Seifert was uninjured.

Chasing down MacCachren was McMillin Young Gun - Andy "BeBo" McMillin, but as the race wore on MacCachren had no problem finding the skinny pedal. Pat Dean ran in the pack of leaders for a couple laps before flames were seen from the motor area of his buggy and he pulled over in the infield to have the flames extinguished by track workers.

ESPN's Cam Steele entered his Class 12 beam car in the Unlimited Desert Buggy class and finished in sixth position ahead of Siefert, Ewalt, Ronco and the smoky - Pat Dean. Of the ten Class 1 entries, nine were penalized for various infractions except for the Desert Assassins KingPin - Cam Steele. Something seems real ironic about Mr. BadBoy being the only racer not penalized during the race.

Unlimited Desert Truck Nissan Nationals Championship

San Diego, California - A field of nine Unlimited Desert Trucks took to the 1.7 mile Nissan Nationals championship course all vying for the top spot representing the off road desert series here in the final CORR racing of the 2005 season.

The grid of nine trucks started off fast with reigning SCORE Trophy Truck Champion- Jason Baldwin leading the trucks down the line, but not for long. Marty Coyne, driving the #5 Pro Comp Unlimited Desert Truck jumped to the front after #11, Dale Dondel gave way for a line of trucks to blast by. Coyne didn't waste any time as he pounded the gas pedal in search of more power.

Coyne is fresh off a recent short course stadium win after capturing the SCORE Terrible's Cup that was held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He's also a veteran short course racer that has long been regarded as a top competitor. Jason Baldwin chased down Coyne on the back stretch reaching speeds of over 115 miles per hour, but it wasn't enough to catch Coyne.

SMD Motorsports Matt Scaroni, driving the #27 Unlimited Desert Truck, made some great moves early in the race positioning himself for a podium if he finished strong. Scaroni pushed his truck hard and charged the leaders and ended up scoring his first podium finish in the new #27 Trophy Truck.

Pro 4 Nissan Nationals Championship

San Diego, California -The who's who of off road racing all buckled up for the first of two big races this weekend here in Chula Vista. The leaders of the DIRT Nation all lined up to face off that will determine the Nissan National Pro 4 Champion. Johnny Greaves, Rob MacCachren, Josh Baldwin, Curt LeDuc, Rick Huseman, Scott Douglas, Carl Renezeder, Kyle LeDuc, Ed Herbst, George Reiss, Steve McCrossan, Jim McKenzie and Todd LeDuc all went fender-to-fender fighting for the best position on the track.

As they went off the line, it wasn't long before the fireworks started and Johnny Greaves was right in the middle of it. Greaves looked like he was pushed off the left side of the race track and was blasting hay bales like they were construction cones on the freeway. And while Greaves had his hands full getting out of the thick stuff the rest of the field pushed hard into Turn 1 at full speed. The banked turn held the top five or six trucks and they blasted down the front stretch at top speeds.

Scott Douglas was pushing his Rancho Pro-4 deep into the turns at speed chasing down Renezeder who jumped into a slight lead. But it wasn't long before perennial favorite, Johnny Greaves, got his yellow Pro-4 pointed down the course chasing down the leading pack of speeders.

Second lap action saw Rob MacCachren suffer a fuel pressure problem that sidelined him for a half of lap putting him behind the pack of leading Pro 4 trucks. Twice in the race, MacCachren slowed because of the mechanical failure, but when his Pro 4 was running at speed he logged caparable lap times to the leaders.

The yellow flag came out for the mid-way pit stop and that bunched up the 13 Pro-4's for the final charge towards the finish line. Greaves led into the final lap as Renezeder and Rick Huseman raced hard to the finish.

Greaves took the first place win, Renezeder followed in second position with Rick Huseman finishing in third.

Seven of the fourteen Pro-4's received penalties during the race. They included Jason Baldwin, Scott Douglas, Rob MacCachren, Jim McKenzie, Todd LeDuc, Kyle LeDuc and George Reiss.

Pro Lite Nissan Nationals Championship

San Diego, California - The field of 19 Pro Lites took to the Chula Vista International Raceway in search of gold, but only one would take home the first place trophy this afternoon. Sunday's action will tell the tale and someone will be taking home a boat load of cashola as top teams compete for the big money.

The whining motors of the Pro Lite cars filled the stadium as the DIRT Nation looked on as the top six cars headed into the first turn with the pedal mashed to the ground. Kincaid, Hord, Federico, Krueger, LeDuc and Schmitt all drove hard into the first turn and into the front stretch.

Hord got a slight lead while the others battled against for position. He ran in the front pack of trucks while LeDuc pushed the limits charging in the final laps. The 2004 CORR Pro LIte Champion - Kyle LeDuc finished the Saturday round in second position holding off third place finisher - Mark Krueger, although both of these top competitors could not catch the winner Chad Hord.

Sportsman 2 Nissan Nationals Championship

San Diego, California - The first day of racing for the Sportsman 2 here at the Nissan National Championships were spectacular for the seven entries in the Sporty 2 class. Missing from the regular lineup was Skyjacker's Ross Hoek who was forced to enter the Pro-2 class after suffering engine failure in Thursday's only practice.

Leading the class was the usual cast of characters with names like Oberg, Baudoux, Wandehsega and so on. Driving the Amsoil sponsored #280 Sporty-2 was Mike Oberg who left the line in first position as the Sportsman-2 ran at the same time as the Pro-2 racers.

Oberg was running clean and strong throughout the race on his Khumo tires and earned the hard fought victory after battling the course with the 20 combined teams of Pro-2 and Sportmans 2.

Steinberger was called to action after Monster Garage Host - Jesse James had to withdraw from the driver's seat for Saturday's action.

The shootout was wild as Renezeder and Taylor dualed towards the finish line pounding through the bumps. However, Renezeder was blacked flag for contact that some have said was very light. Nonetheless, he was put to the back of the line and fought to get back in the action as Taylor ran hard to the finish line. Toyo's Kevin Probst drove hard to the front of the pack warring with Taylor along with Evan Evans. But the Skyjacker sponsored truck driven by Scott Taylor beat them both with Probst claiming second and Evans in third position.

Jeremy McGrath drove with the best in Pro 2 throughout the entire race trading paint and fiberglass to the finish line. McGrath finished in fourth position overall.
