Adrian “Wild Man” Cenni started on the pole in the Pro 4 Jason Baldwin Cup Qualifier today. Cenni took off with a commanding lead over the field. Steve Barlow driver of the Red Bull number 29 went off the track on lap four and was unable to return to the race. Meanwhile Cenni continued to lead with the Lucas Oil number 17 of Carl Renezeder rubbing on his back right fender attempting to pass for the first position. Cenni was able to continue blocking Renezeder securing his lead. The race really began to heat up when the Monster Energy Drink number 22 of Johnny Greaves battled for second with Renezeder. When the mandatory caution came out on lap eight Cenni was in first, Renezeder in second and Greaves in third. Scott Douglas and Josh Baldwin were out of the race on lap eight with mechanical failure. Cenni and Renezeder got close coming out of turn five on lap nine, but Renezeder was unable to secure the deal. He tried again in turns two and three of lap 10, but was still denied by Cenni. Renezeder finally made the pass coming across the start/finish line on lap eleven. Immediately after Cenni went out of the race due to mechanical failure on turn one of lap eleven. Greaves who sat in second behind Renezeder aggressively went into turn three wrecking Renezeder and bringing out the caution. When the race went back to green it was Greaves and Fabtech driver number 36 Rick Huseman battling it out for first position. In the end there were only four trucks left racing. Greaves took home the win, Huseman took second and Travis Coyne in his Pro Comp number five secured the final spot on the podium. Greaves was docked nine points for aggressive driving. The penalty was for the exchange between Greaves and Renezeder on lap eleven which resulted in Renezeder being unable to return to the race.



“This is why people come to see CORR, they see the hardest, roughest racing around,” said Johnny Greaves.

McGrath held on to the lead with Rob MacCachren in second and Whelchel in third.

“I’m new and I’m learning from these guys, they’re the pros,” said seven-time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath. “I want to thank the Baldwin team for hooking me up with a great truck and giving me the opportunity to race.



“It’s been an awesome weekend I can’t thank everyone at Red Bull and Barlow Racing enough for a great truck and all the support,” said Rob MacCahren. “I hope we continue on this roll and have this momentum to carry us into Chula Vista in a couple weeks.”
