Miller Motorsports Park Next Stop for Team Renezeder for Lucas Oil Off-Road Race
LAKE FOREST, CA � The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is hosting rounds seven and eight this weekend at a brand new facility for the teams and series: the stunning Miller Motorsports Park just south of Salt Lake City, Utah. The state-of-the-art multifunction complex has opened its gates to truckloads of dirt, transforming its road course to a track that�s flight-worthy. Fans will be treated to a clean, family-friendly environment, and teams will feel like royalty being pitted on asphalt. For racers like Carl Renezeder, a new course brings the challenge of learning racing lines quickly, and he welcomes that challenge.
�I�m excited about running on a new track,� says Renezeder. �I feel like it�s an advantage for our team because we�re quick to make the right adjustments both in set-up and in driving. And it�s a bonus that the facility is first-class.�
The Team Renezeder 2010 season has been a mixed bag of results with everything from two wins to a 15th place DNF (did not finish), putting the team second in Pro-4 points and fifth in Pro-2 points. This weekend will mark the midpoint of the season for Renezeder, who is the current defending Pro-4 and Pro-2 champion with 89 career wins. With a stellar second half of the season, the team has every opportunity to defend both championships.
�Our goals is to get back some positive momentum as we finish out the first half of the season this weekend,� explains Renezeder. �We�re hoping that the trucks roll out of the haulers with a bit of good luck attached to them, and we hope to roll them back in on Sunday night with some new hardware for the trophy case.�
The teams will have two practice sessions on Friday afternoon; qualifying will occur both Saturday and Sunday morning, with racing to follow on both afternoons.
