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.
