Jeremy McGrath Race Report - TORC Off Road Racing Rounds 9 & 10‏

JEREMY
McGRATH TAKES BACK TO BACK FIFTHS

TORC
Series Rounds 9 and 10 – Route 66 Raceway, Chicagoland, IL

LOS
ANGELES, CA (August 28, 2010)
– In a big change of race pace, moving racing from familiar weekend
stops to mid-week race nights, rounds 9 and 10 of the Traxxas TORC
Series presented by AMSOIL, debuted this Wednesday and Thursday at
Route 66 Raceway in Chicagoland, IL.

Coming
directly from his Motorsports Hall of Fame of American induction
activities in Detroit, seven-time AMA Supercross Champion Jeremy
McGrath arrived at the Route 66 Raceway just hours before race start
and accepted the final of his Hall of Fame honors via live remote
just before the start of the evening’s racing!

Later,
in the PRO 2WD class, McGrath battled hard but mechanical
difficulties ultimately left him and his Monster
Energy/MasterCraft/Toyota/BFG truck with a fifth place finish.
Thursday evening, McGrath started out on the pole but mechanical
issues once again plagued the Monster Energy/MasterCraft/Toyota/BFG
truck causing McGrath to loose ground he was unable to make up
forcing another fifth place finish. McGrath continues to remain
third in the overall championship points race with 179 points.
(Note: Last week’s race recap incorrectly
reported McGrath had moved into second place in the championships
points race.)

A
disappointed McGrath had this to say, “Well the week started out
great with a once in a lifetime deal I went to at the Motorsports
Hall of Fame in Detroit and then luck was just not on my side for
these two rounds of racing that’s for sure. Gotta get some things
worked out on the truck for Crandon and would really like to put my
Monster Energy/MasterCraft/Toyota/BFG truck back on the podium
again.”
