Goodyear Returns to CORR Off-Road Competition
Indianapolis,
IN (April 20, 2005) -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
is continuing its longtime participation in off-road competition with sponsorship
in the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) series during the 2005 season.
As an associate sponsor in the CORR Series, Goodyear will supply tires to several
competing teams.
CORR combines close, fender-to-fender racing on a course designed to allow
the fan in the stands to see all the action on the track, while allowing television
viewers at home to live vicariously through their favorite driver. The Speed
Channel network, reaching 63 million households, is the television home of
CORR, covering 84 hours of racing action from the Lucas Oil Pro and Sportsman
Series.
Drivers, sponsors, and fans are drawn to the unique style of racing. Current
NASCAR racers Brendan Gaughan and Jimmie Johnson began their racing careers
competing in the CORR series. In 2004, 167 drivers (47 Pro and 120 Sportsman),
representing 20 states and Canada, competed in the series.
“Goodyear has experienced great past success in all forms of off-road
racing, including the CORR series, and we have been able to showcase our tires
on various off-road trucks that have captured the checkered flag,” said
Steve Miller, Goodyear marketing and promotions manager. “This year,
we’ll be featuring the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R product line in competition.”
The 2005 CORR season begins May 21-22 at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan.
