Skid Marks: NBC Sues CORR

Full Story


NBC Universal has filed suit against a dirt-track racing series, alleging that it breached a $6.4 million contract to buy airtime on NBC Sports. Court papers shed light on what NBC charges programmers for time buys on Sunday afternoons.

The suit charges Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) with owing NBC $4.8 million on a deal to air races on NBC -- originally nine each in 2008 and 2009. After experiencing financial trouble last year, CORR collapsed.

CORR Kaput for 2008

Newport Beach, CA (November 14, 2008)— Championship Off Road Racing has regretfully announced the cancellation of its final race weekend of the 2008 season scheduled to be held in Chula Vista, California on December 6th – 7th 2008.



Championship Off Road Racing, CEO Jim Baldwin made the following statement:



“The current national financial crisis has impacted our series to the degree that it has become impossible to produce the quality off road racing experience that our fans, racers and sponsors have enjoyed. While it has been our most sincere effort to hold this final event, every possible avenue was exhausted before reaching this difficult decision. Although we have been forced to prematurely end the current season, we are strongly committed to providing the ultimate off road racing experience on the most extreme tracks while continuing to grow the sport. We apologize to our sponsors, teams and especially to our loyal fans for any inconvenience that this has caused. Our commitment to this sport, sponsors, the teams, and fans that support us is unwavering. We will continue to vigorously pursue our objective: To build the most exciting nationally recognized short course off road racing series in the country.”



CORR is in the midst of establishing a solid 2009 race schedule. This confirmed schedule, to be released shortly, is comprised of twelve rounds of racing to be held on six weekends in 2009. There are currently discussions underway with the objective of increasing that number to as many as eight race weekends and 16 rounds. We are working to assemble a revised business plan that will reflect the steps necessary to overcome the current economic challenges. Our sponsors have shown us that they understand the current economic climate and have expressed their desire to participate with us in seeing this sport blossom. The significant investment made in CORR has brought huge crowds, national exposure, and some of the most exciting racing ever seen in the dirt.

Rick Huseman Earns Co-Leader Title in CORR Pro 4 Championship Point's Race

Rick Huseman Earns Co-Leader Title in CORR Pro 4 Championship Point's Race after Tough Weekend at Chula Vista International Raceway

Riverside, CALIFORNIA - By the time Sunday's Round 12 was over, Rick Huseman, driver of the No.3 FABTECH/Toyota TRD/Toyo Tires/TRAXXAS Pro 4, claimed a 50% share of the top spot in the 2008 CORR Pro 4 Series race for the championship with last year's champion, Carl Renezeder.

The weekend's fireworks kicked off early on Friday afternoon as the Riverside, California native set the stage for a battle in the dirt by setting the fastest qualifying time in his sleek Pro 4 race truck.

husemanSaturday's Round 11 race aired live on SPEED Channel in front of a packed house at San Diego's Chula Vista International Raceway. Rick's dominant performance in qualifying set the tone for not only the FABTECH race truck driver, but for the throngs of fans, family and crew who gathered beneath the blue and white tent at Rick Huseman Racing race headquarters.

"We were really strong in Friday's qualifying and it's always a good thing to come out of the box running fast. The track conditions were perfect for our Toyo Tires and Toyota TRD provided us with an engine package that wicked up the power and put it to the ground," explained Huseman.

With only five rounds of racing remaining, the importance of culminating championship points was on everyone's mind this race weekend. As race teams forged into the competition, it was a make or break for a few who were on the edge of not being able to play catch up after this weekend of racing. With a tremendous amount of work to be done before the final race weekend of the season, Rick Huseman was all business as he climbed into his office chair behind the steering wheel of his Pro 4.

After a superb qualifying effort on Friday afternoon, the mandatory inversion put Huseman in row four for the start of the race. However, it wasn't long before he began moving up through the field and by the halfway mark of Saturday's main event, the No.3 was vying for the top spot alongside Greaves and Renezeder.

"The beginning of the race is always tenacious and after a few laps, things begin to settle down a bit. The team has worked very hard battling adversity throughout the season and it's my job to get off the start clean and set the stage for a strong run. Working together with my spotter, we were able to run some fast clean lines in the first half of the race," commented the veteran Pro 4 racer.

husemanAs soon as the green flag dropped after the mandatory midway caution lap , Huseman battled for the lead, putting his Toyota TRD power plant, FABTECH suspension and Toyo Tires to the extreme test in his push for the checkered flag. He came up just short ending in fourth spot in the Saturday main event.

Sunday's Round 12 was spectacular from the onset as the race start was marred when a huge group of mid-pack race trucks were involved in a crash incident. This sent several drivers to the hot pits for repairs, while CORR officials lined up the race for a restart.

When the race restarted, it was the FABTECH/Toyota TRD/Toyo Tires/TRAXXAS No.3 that jumped to the front and never stopped pushing until he suffered a sudden mechanical failure on lap twelve.

"We had a good run going, but we got hit by the "unlucky stick" and suffered a serious mechanical issue that forced us to run off the pace. We ended up just off the podium in fourth place for the second day in a row. We'll take that and head into the final three races of the season. We've got a six-week layoff between this past weekend's races and the Las Vegas-Primm International Raceway event, so we'll head back to the shop and prep this truck for a run towards the season championship," Huseman said.

Combining a weekend of fourth place finishes tied Huseman for first place with reigning Pro 4 champion, Carl Renezeder. Each of the racers has a season total of 1108 points, which is 30 points over their closest competitor.

"I'm proud of the crew. They gave me a great race truck all weekend long and with three races left in the season, I'm confident that we will be banging the drums in contention for the top spot in the race for the series championship," regarded Rick.
Saturday's Round 11 of the 2008 CORR Series will be re-broadcasted on Speed Channel at different times in your local areas. Sunday's Round 12 will be broadcasted on Sunday, October 5, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m on NBC Sports. Check your local listings for updated television broadcast times.

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES AND BULLY DOG’S CASEY CURRIE TAKES 2ND IN PRO-LITE DURING ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES AND BULLY DOG’S CASEY CURRIE TAKES 2ND IN PRO-LITE DURING ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA

-First year driver Chuck Dempsey conquers 8th Place-



Chula Vista, CA (September 15th) – Casey Currie fought hard and fast to capture his podium finish this past weekend during rounds 11 & 12 of the 2008 CORR race season. After having a tough time during the first qualifying round and starting 9th Currie managed to come back and finish less than one second behind Marty Hart for a second place finish – his third podium this year.

“Going into the weekend we felt like we had a fast truck,” Currie said. “After grueling testing we knew that the truck was ready to handle anything the race could throw at it”

Currie started round 11 in the 5th row and by the second last he was already in the sixth position – he started picking off his competitors one by one and found himself sitting in 4th by the halfway point of the race. Knowing the truck was fast and furious, Currie went deep into the first turn after the caution lap, but another driver hit the back of him and took him out. Currie managed to finish the first round in 17th place and his crew spent the better part of the night getting the truck ready for round 12.

Round 12 proved to be a winning combination for Currie – a fast truck, a 3rd place start and a strong lead during the first half of the race. Currie and Marty Hart battled it out during the entire race attacking each other and fighting for that first place finish. Though Currie didn’t manage to pull into first place his 2nd place finish was only five tenths of a second behind the winner.

"I needed one more lap,” Currie said. “I have never been able to actually battle the leaders so it was something new that I needed to learn – I think the experience really helped me grow as a driver. We are ready for Primm!”

SPEED TECHNOLOGIES CORR RACERS CASEY CURRIE AND CHUCK DEMPSEY READY FOR ROUNDS 11 & 12 AT CHULA VISTA THIS WEEKEND

The team continues its expansion into CORR and focuses on improvement and teamwork



Reno, NV (September 11th, 2008) – Speed Technologies, one of the largest and foremost race teams in the United States and Mexico, continues racing in the CORR series this weekend with two Pro-Lite trucks. The trucks are sponsored by both Bully Dog and Speed Technologies.

Chuck Dempsey, a full-time Speed Technologies driver who also races in both the SCORE and Best in the Desert race series, is continuing his education in CORR racing under the Casey Currie Racing banner with sponsorships by Speed Technologies and Bully Dog. The team, led by Casey Currie, recently added Dempsey and is excited to parlay his extensive desert racing experience into the CORR arena.

“The biggest thing with Chuck is that it’s a learning process,” said Casey Currie. “CORR is a new style of racing for him and we are restructuring the team to help Chuck drive faster and get him into the top ten.”

Casey Currie, a well known CORR and motorcycle racer, has already captured two podium finishes this year and is looking to bring another one home.

“We’ve spent the last month testing the trucks and they’re more dialed in than ever before – I feel more comfortable behind the wheel with the new suspension changes and I looking for a top placement this race,” said Currie.

This is Dempsey’s first year racing CORR, but he’s well-known in desert racing circles and in 2005 took home a first place motorcycle finish in the Baja 500. Currie has been competing in the off road and motorcycle circuit for over six years. In 2005 Currie raced the SuperTT series in Southern California, and after advancing to the AMA professional SuperMoto series he placed fifth in the nation.

In fact, the 24-year old racer is fifth in overall point's chase sharing the top five spots with several previous CORR Pro Lite champions.

"Returning to the Chula Vista race course is always a refresher for us. Racing in our backyard is definitely an advantage and if for some reason we need to utilize our race shop it's only 15 minutes away. I'm looking forward to another great weekend of racing.

Cameron Steele to Join Menzies Motorsports

September 9, 2008

Desert racer Cameron Steele to become newest driver
For Menzies Motorsports in CORR Short Course Series

Veteran second-generation desert racer Steele set to join Menzies
Motorsports for 2009 CORR Series
And will be backup driver for this weekend’s 2008 CORR races at Chula Vista
International Raceway
LAS VEGAS—Popular second-generation desert racer/TV personality Cameron
Steele has been added to the Menzies Motorsports driver roster for the 2009
Championship Off-Road Racing Series (CORR), team owner Steve Menzies announced
today in Las Vegas.
Steele’s first official appearance with the team will be as a backup driver
this weekend at Rounds 11 and 12 of the 16-race CORR Series at the Chula
Vista International Raceway near San Diego.
Steele, San Clemente, Calif., will augment the existing six-driver, eight
vehicle team that currently leads the point standings in three of the four
classes it races in this season.
“We have said since the beginning of the season that we would continue to
look for ways to expand our team even more, not only with equipment and
vehicles, but personnel as well. The addition of Cameron Steele is a major step in
the direction we are headed for 2009,” said team owner Steve Menzies, a
prominent Las Vegas contractor and businessman. “We are having a very good season
so far and Cameron is the type of talented team player that we need to keep
our cohesive ‘Big Red Machine’ moving forward.”
Steele, who is also a noted ESPN action sports announcer and has been a
primary announcer of the X Games for 10 years, will be a backup driver this
weekend and a confirmed driver for next year for Menzies Motorsports. This
weekend he will be available to replace Menzies’ driver Brock Krahenbuhl in Single
Buggy if Krahenbuhl, who is Menzies son-in-law, needs to stay in Las Vegas
because his wife Heather is expected to give birth to the couple’s third child
any day.
“I have met a lot of people in my life, and I can honestly say that none are
nicer and more genuine than Steve Menzies,” said Steele, 40, who has raced
in as many as three classes in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race. “I am
really, really looking forward to being a part of the amazing Menzies
Motorsports team and working with some very gifted drivers and crew members. On top
of all that, we are going to do what I always do in racing—have some fun.”
Steele, who has several desert race wins on his racing resume including
Class 1-2/1600 in the legendary Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, is one of the stars of
the elite SCORE Trophy-Truck division in his No. 16 Desert Assassins Cadillac
Escalade in the SCORE Desert Series. In the desert, Steele has raced trucks,
open-wheel cars, VW Baja Bugs and motorcycles.
Earlier this year, Steele and MacCachren teamed up to win a special race
just for Class 1-2/1600 vehicles (single or two-seat open-wheel desert race cars
with 1600cc Volkswagen engines).
The Single Buggy class in the CORR Series is very similar to the Class
1-2/1600 desert race car.
For the last two years, the SCORE International membership of over 2,000 has
voted Steele as the SCORE Person of the Year in honor of all he has one to
help promote the sport, both behind the wheel and behind the microphone.
Menzies Motorsports is based out of a state-of-the-art 31,000-square foot
race shop in southwest Las Vegas.

BLACK FLAGS COME OUT IN CONTRoVERSIAL PRO 4 RACE

Newport Beach, CA (August 17, 2008)—Round 10 of the 2008 Championship Off Road Racing Season gave fans a day full of racing action as black flags came out in both the Pro 4 and Pro Lite races. Amsoil/Kumho’s Scott Douglas, Papas & Beer’s Rodrigo Ampudia, and Rockstar/BFGoodrich’s Rob MacCachren all came out on top in each of their classes.



In the Pro 2 class, Team Red Bull’s Ricky Johnson jumped out front with a commanding 5.4 second lead coming into the mandatory caution. A right rear brake fire took Johnson to the hot pits after the yellow, ending his chance at the win. Having started in seventh position Rob MacCachren in his Menzies Motorsports’ prepared Pro 2 quickly worked his way up the pack and took advantage of Johnson’s loss taking the lead and winning the race. Rockstar/Makita’s Todd LeDuc finished in second, and the Lucas Oil/Skyjacker truck of Carl Renezeder took third. This was MacCachren’s second Pro 2 win of the weekend.



In a thrilling and controversial Pro 4 race, Fabtech/Toyota’s Rick Huseman took the lead from pole sitter Curt LeDuc in lap two. Huseman led the race with a large lead. The mandatory caution closed up the gap and put the Lucas Oil/Skyjacker truck of Carl Renezeder hot on his tail in second position. On lap 13, Renezeder attempted the pass on the inside but was unsuccessful. Next, Renezeder took the outside of turn three and got around Huseman. The two battled it out until Huseman got into Renezeder coming out of the bowl, as he was preparing for the turn. Renezeder spun and Huseman was black flagged causing him to fall to the back of the pack. Rockstar/Makita’s Kyle LeDuc, found himself in the lead for the first half of lap 15, until he pulled off with problems with his rear drive shaft. Next in line, Rockstar/Makita’s Curt LeDuc moved into first position and battled for the spot with Renezeder who had worked his way back up. In lap 16, Renezeder once again saw contact when LeDuc got into him pushing him out, warranting a black flag for LeDuc. Gaining on them Amsoil/Kumho’s Scott Douglas took the open window and passed Renezeder for the lead and the win. Red Bull/Bosch Power Tools’ Steve Barlow also made the pass securing second position. Renezeder rounded out the podium in third.



The Kolpin/Maxxis truck of Marty Hart dominated the Pro Lite race with a commanding lead through lap 13. Rodrigo Ampudia and Ready Lift Suspension’s Robert Naughton gained on Hart closing the gap. The three battled. Then in turn four of lap 14, Hart, Ampudia, and Naughton entered the bowl three wide and exited with Ampudia out in front, Hart in second, Naughton in third. Hart then spun out in the next lap, giving up the second spot to Naughton. With Naughton hot on his heals Ampudia held his position to take his first Pro Lite win of the season. Naughton finished in second and Hart took third.



Chad George won the UTV race with a commanding lead over the rest of the field. Curt Geer won his first race of the season in the Single Buggy race, and Dale Dondel clenched his first win in the Pro Buggy race.

Cuffaro Leaves Las Vegas on Upswing Driving the #46 Nissan / UPR Racing Supply Pro Lite To 4th Overall in Championship Point's Standings

Cuffaro Leaves Las Vegas on Upswing Driving the #46 Nissan / UPR Racing Supply Pro Lite To 4th Overall in Championship Point’s Standings



San Diego, CA (May 12, 2008) – Sixteen races spread out over eight race weekends make up this season’s 2008 Championship Off Road Racing Series. Thus far, everything has gone the right way for Cuffaro Motorsports.



The Las Vegas International Raceway at Primm, Nevada loves to play games with the best drivers in off road racing and that was evident in CORR Rounds 3 & 4, as many of the CORR top dogs ran afoul of this challenging race course carved in the dirt of the Southern Nevada desert.



The #46 Nissan / UPR Racing Supply sponsored race truck suffered some of the Primm wrath, but not nearly as severe as some of the other Pro Lite competitors. Cuffaro not only survived, but he raced hard completing each day of race action with solid finishes among the top ten. Finishing Saturday’s Round 3 in 5th place and Sunday’s Round 4 in 8th place allowed Cuffaro to move up in the overall championship point’s standings from previously being tied at 6th to capping off the weekend in 4th place overall.

Todd seized the opportunity to carry positive momentum from a difficult race track that has put the hurt on many drivers over the past two seasons.

"We had a good solid run this weekend," Cuffaro said. "I bobbled the throttle during a shift at the start of Saturday’s race and I had to fight to get back into the top five. Las Vegas International Raceway is an awesome track and I can’t wait to come back and improve my times.”

The #46 Nissan Pro Lite made its way through much slower traffic in both rounds of racing as CORR inverted the starting positioning of the top eight after excellent qualifying by hard charging, Todd Cuffaro.

The top eight mandatory inversions placed much slower trucks in the front of the pack and it took several laps around the .94-mile race track before the speedsters moved towards the front.

"I made a couple of mistakes, but my crew gave me a fast enough truck that we were able to hold it together for the long runs. We ran our strategy and we’re racing for the long haul. It’s a really long season and the preparation on our two race trucks has to be perfect in order for us to be in it in the end. The Nissan power plant really performed in the heat of the weekend.

Our BFGoodrich Tires survived the blue groove with the heat index soaring over 100 degrees. When we come back here for the fall race, we’ll groove our tires slightly different. We’ve learned some things this past weekend."

Cuffaro said other teams were quicker to adjust to the changing track conditions between practice, qualifying and the race and that single reason contributed to why he struggled to run up front early in the race.

“I really had to dig hard to make up positions. We stayed out of trouble for the most part, while many others were banged up and disabled along side of the race track.”

An unusual spring heat wave pounded the Western United States in the few days leading up to the race, while race weekend temperatures topped 100 degrees putting the hurt on everyone at the track.

Todd mentioned, “Many thanks goes out to all the track workers who braved the intense heat conditions over the five-day race week along with the fans who came out to the race track under the blazing sun and very warm conditions.”

Sponsors of the #46 CORR Pro Lite are Nissan Motorsports, UPR Racing Supply, FOX Racing Shox, Sparco, BFGoodrich Tires, MSD Ignitions, Red Line Oil, Competitive Metals, Miller Machine Works and Cuffaro Motorsports & Race Prep.

CORR Round 3 Recap

RICKY JOHNSON AND JOHNNY GREAVES TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WINS IN 2008

-SATURDAY RACE RECAP-



Primm, NV (May 17, 2008) — Over 8,000 fans braved the hot weather to watch some of the most exciting

CORR racing today in Primm, NV. CORR Champions Ricky Johnson and Johnny Greaves secured their

first wins for the 2008 season pleasing their energy drink sponsors. Menzies Motorsports continued their

dominance in both the Single Buggy and Pro Buggy classes with Bryan Freeman and Rob MacCachren

now both three for three in 2008.



Todd LeDuc in his Rockstar Energy Drink/ Makita # 3 started on the pole in the Pro 2 race after the field

was inverted. Johnny Greaves in his Monster Energy Drink/Potawatomi # 4 sat on the outside row as the

race went green. It was the battle of the energy drinks as the green flag waved to start Round 3 of the
