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 - 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.
