SPEED TECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS INTO POPULAR CHAMPIONSHIP OFF ROAD RACING (CORR) WITH TWO PRO LITE TRUCK SPONSORSHIPS

RENO, NV (April 15th, 2008) --Speed Technologies, one of the largest off road racing teams in the United States, is expanding its reach in the off road racing world. The popular team recently came to an agreement to title sponsor famed Baja racer and Speed Technologies HMS Avenger driver Chuck Dempsey and his Pro Lite Truck in the Championship off Road Racing (CORR) Series. Speed Technologies also will be joining up with Bully Dog and sponsoring Casey Currie, a seasoned CORR racer with three years experience behind the wheel. The duo will each be racing Nissan trucks and their first CORR race under the Speed Technologies banner will be April 26 and 27th at the Fairplex at Ponoma.

“CORR is where it’s at,” said team owner and driver John Harrah. “The closed course off road arena makes this style of racing very spectator friendly and Speed Technologies can’t wait to be part of it.”

Speed Technologies currently races its Class 1 and Class 10 vehicles in the Best in the Desert race series and the SCORE Desert Racing Series. Chuck Dempsey and driver Mark Levrett are currently third overall for points in the SCORE Desert Racing Series.

“I love desert racing with the Speed Technologies Team and I know doing CORR with them will be just as action packed,” said driver Chuck Dempsey. “Knowing I have the support of John and the entire team behind me puts me at ease behind the wheel. Speed is a first class operation and having them as my title sponsor means having the best support crew and equipment.”
