KMC Wheels Sponsored Racer, Carl Renezeder, Shines in Utah

Rounds 7 and 8 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series were held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah on June 21-22, 2014. These two rounds followed the previous ones that were held a couple of weeks ago at the Wild West Motorsports Park in Sparks, Nevada. Rounds 7 and 8 are significant events for the series as they mark the season’s midpoint and they in a way shape the rest of the series and the ultimate leader.

Rounds 7 and 8 saw KMC sponsored racer Carl Renezeder end with 2 podium finishes. KMC wheels has been sponsoring Carl Renezeder for a while, and in 2011, he helped develop the KMC TR17 forged alloy wheels. These wheels have been part of KMC line up for the past couple of years.

Two Podium Finishes for Carl Renezeder on Saturday June 21

Round 7 of the Lucas Oil Off Road racing series saw Renezeder come out shining with two podium finishes. He scooped these in the Pro-2 and the Pro-4 races. As the Pro-2 race begun, Renezeder was in second place in the overall standings behind current series leader Brian Deegan. The race was important to Renezeder, and he proved this by battling Deegan throughout all the rounds. In the end, however, he settled for position two earning him a podium finish.

The last race of the day for Renezeder was in the Pro-4 category. In this category, Renezeder started at the first position followed by Kyle Leduc and Rob MacCachren in the second and third positions respectively. The race was very competitive for these three and in the end Renezeder finished third.

This was not a very bad day for Renezeder as in the end he had two podium finishes.

An Unsuccessful Round 8

After shinning with 2 podium finishes in round 7 on Saturday, Renezeder was expecting a successful day on Sunday but ended up disappointed finishing positions 10 and 7 in the Pro-2 and Pro-4 categories. In the pro-2 category, Renezeder started in position 4 and had a pretty good run until his right front trailing arm flew off the chassis. This dashed Renezeder hopes of getting the first place finish and he had to settle for the 10th position by the end of the race.

In the Pro-4 category, Renezeder started well and even managed to hold the first position for six laps. This quickly changed on turn 4 as he almost rolled when he got up on two wheels. He recovered from this glitch and was regaining lost ground before his rear suspension was damaged. In the end, he finished 7th in this category.

Round 7 and 8 had mixed results for Renezeder, but in the end, he had 2 podium finishes that put him and his sponsors, KMC Wheels, back on the map.
