Johnny and CJ Take on a Mud Soaked Eldora, Maintain Points Lead in 2 Out-of the 3 Pro Classes

Abrams, WI (May 13, 2013)-- The Traxxas TORC Series added another track to its long list of venues by heading to the Big E: Eldora Speedway in New Weston, Ohio, owned by NASCAR great, Tony Stewart. The skies were blue when the Monster Energy / Toyota / Maxxis Tire / Method Race Wheels Magnaflow team of Johnny and CJ Greaves rolled into town. However Mother Nature pulled a cruel Mother's Day weekend trick on the series by blowing in cold rainy weather to put a damper on the weekend's racing. Friday's race had to be cancelled including practice and qualifying. Saturday did not look very promising either but the series waited out the storms and decided to run the races. The Pro Light took the brunt of the poor conditions by competing on a mud soaked track. CJ showed a lot of poise by nursing his Monster Energy Toyota to a 4th place finish. He was able to hold on to his points lead.

Track conditions began to improve by the time the Pro 2's and Pro 4's hit the track. CJ dominated the Pro 2 by leading from start to finish for his first win of the season and his first Oakley Bomb award. Johnny lead most of the laps but a late race bobble allowed Ricky Johnson to pass. Johnny claimed the 2nd place finish but held on to his points lead.
