Round five of the Championship Off Road Racing season brought some of the best racing yet as the series’ top drivers battled for every position on the track. On a day that had hotly contested races in both the Pro 2 and Pro 4 classes, the Pro 4 Jason Baldwin Memorial Cup Pro 4 race saw a continuation of the rivalry between existing champion Carl Renezeder and Monster Energy Drink/Forest County Potawatomi star Johnny Greaves.

In Pro 2, Makita/Rockstar Energy Drink driver Todd LeDuc turned back challenges from class leader Rockstar Energy Drink/Menzies Motorsports’s #21 Rob MacCachren and Red Bull/Bosch Power Tools’s Ricky Johnson to take his first win of the season. While the V8 trucks saw lots of big crashes and exciting lead changes, Traxxas/ Potawatomi Pro Lite pilot Jeff Kincaid took a 15 second lead going into the mandatory caution flag that was reduced to just three seconds as he and second place finisher Marty Hart separated themselves from the field.

Rounds 5 & 6 of the CORR Racing series at Pomona proved to be no match for Sway-A-Way Racerunner Shocks as Todd Leduc slides by the competition while taking the “gold” in both rounds with his Rockstar Energy Drink /Makita Power Tools Ford Pro-2 race truck. In addition to the LeDuc wins, Jeremy McGrath, the “King of Supercross” turned his Sway-A-Way backed Baldwin Racing/Monster Energy/Bully Dog Ford Pro-2 into a bronze medal during Saturday’s round 5 main event. With 3 of 8 events complete, Todd Leduc’s weekend sweep and McGraths’s consistent finishes, with 3 total podiums, locks both LeDuc and McGrath into a tie for third in the Pro-2 standings.

Brian Skipper, President of Sway-A-Way, commented “We are super excited to see our Racerunner Shocks in the winners circle. It’s a testament to the quality and reliability of our products when high profile racers like, Todd LeDuc, Jeremy McGrath and others choose to run our shocks and then take home podium finishes. We are proud to have these great racers using our product.”

The CORR round 5 & 6 events also spotlighted Sway-A-Way rookie racer, Kyle Quinn, as he placed fourth in a large 22 car field on Sunday in his Single Buggy. Kyle currently holds the eight place points position of 37 after only six rounds of race action. Watch for Kyle to turn up the heat as he logs more laps in his new race car.

Sway-A-Way would like to thank all of those who choose to “control their ride” with Racerunner Shocks. Baldwin Racing (Josh Baldwin & Jeremy McGrath), Todd LeDuc, Gene Woods, Lance Rhinehart, Chuck Dempsey, Brady Helm, Kyle Quinn, Cissy Baldwin, Billy McCool, and Jack Yeiser are Racerunner racers.
