Menzies Motorsports “Super Team” Makes Impressive CORR Debut

Team Dominates Winning 6-8 Events

Menzies Motorsports made a remarkable debut in its inaugural CORR season here today at the Fairplex, CORR’s newest track, by winning the Pro 2, Pro Buggy and Single Buggy classes and scoring seven top-five finishes. Menzies Super Team consists of six drivers competing in four classes—Single Buggy, Pro Buggy, Pro Lite and Pro 2. Four of its drivers (Menzies, Fraley, Freeman and Krahenbuhl) are competing for Rookie of the Year honors.

Veteran Rob MacCachren set the stage for Menzies Motorsports and swept the Pro 2 and Pro Buggy division. He began Saturday’s Pro 2 race on the pole for Menzies Motorsports and sponsor Rockstar. He battled Ricky Johnson and his No. 9 Red Bull truck for the majority of the race in a “battle of the energy drinks,” securing the win following a Lap 10 caution flag. On Sunday’s Pro 2 race, he started behind Carl Renezeder, but worked his way to the front early and never relinquished the lead.

MacCachren dominated the Pro Buggy class in both Saturday and Sunday’s races, winning both handedly.

Not to be outdone, Bryan Freeman matched MacCachren’s efforts, securing easy wins in the Single Buggy class on Saturday and Sunday, sweeping the weekend’s Single Buggy competition. Brock Krahenbuhl ran alongside Freeman in his CORR debut. Although he had a strong race, he fell short of Freeman’s flair.

In the Pro Lite class, Bryce Menzies and Bruce Fraley competed against CORR’s heavy hitters, but fell only nine seconds short of a top-five finish. Menzies finished sixth on both days, with Fraley missing two laps on Saturday and finishing 11th on Sunday.

Larry Job ran alongside MacCachren in the Pro Buggy class, finishing fourth on Saturday and tenth on Sunday.

The next event for Menzies Motorsports will be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nev., May 17-18, 2008. Check your local listings for television air times.

Menzies “Super Team” Looking to Dust Competition in ‘08

Menzies Motorsports is entering the 2008 Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season with high expectations for a first year team – winning championships in all four classes, contending for Rookie of the Year honors, and establishing themselves as the premier team in CORR.

With one look around their Las Vegas shop at its Grand Opening last week, two observations immediately came to mind: those aren’t unrealistic expectations and this team is going to have a lot of fun working to achieve those goals.

Backed by the deep pockets of Steve Menzies, Menzies Motorsports’ “Super Team” consists of Rob MacCachren driving a Pro 2 truck and Pro Buggy, Bryce Menzies and Bruce Fraley competing in the Pro Lite truck class, Larry Job driving a Pro Buggy and Bryan Freeman and Brock Krahenbuhl competing in the Single Buggy division. Between Bryce, Bruce, Bryan and Brock—referred to as the Killer B’s—Menzies has four drivers contending for Rookie of the Year honors.

BFGoodrich Tires and Fox Shox are backing this team as its primary sponsors for the 2008 season. “Between Steve, BFG and Fox Shox, our team has incredible support,” MacCachren said. “Now, we just have to win races. My goal, as always, is to win championships and I look forward to winning many with Menzies.” Other team supporters include Caltime Metals, MSD Ignitions, Mastercraft, KMC Wheels and Kartek Wheels.

“Coming into this year, our team is looking to go straight to the top,” said Bryce Menzies. “We have a well-funded and seasoned team that is ready to win. We like to go by the saying, ‘If you aren’t first, your last.’”

MacCachren will not only pilot the Pro 2 truck and Pro Buggy, but serve as this team’s leader and mentor. With so many accolades and championships, MacCachren is easily one of the best off-road drivers ever. “The opportunity to be a mentor to such an integrated and talented team is an honor,” said MacCachren. “I’m sure there will be a day when they are bumper-checking me during a race to get me out of their way.”

In 2007, Bryce Menzies and Fraley led the Single Buggy class and placed first and second, respectively, in the class championship. Bryce Menzies also won Rookie of the Year honors. This year, they will both move up to the Pro Lite class and be in contention for Rookie of the Year honors again. “I’m ready to begin the season,” said Fraley. “Bryce and I have a side bet going that whoever wins between us will shave the other’s head and I don’t look good bald.”
Job, the oldest member of the team will pilot a Pro Buggy. “Although I’m the ‘old man’ on this team, I’m looking forward to showing these young guys what it takes to win,” said Job laughingly. “We are competitive with each other, but we are also a very close knit team and pull for one another to win.”

Krahenbuhl is the latest addition to the team and will compete in the Single Buggy class alongside Freeman. They will both be contending for Rookie of the Year as well. “With my motocross background, off-road racing will be an interesting change,” said Krahenbuhl. “As the newbie on the team, I want to learn from everyone and win races. I’m looking forward to my first CORR season.”

With the first race only a week away, the team is ready to race. “I am really excited for what lies ahead for this team,” said Freeman. “Coming from a desert racing background, this will be a new challenge for me and I am looking forward to it. It’s going to be a fun year.”

Menzies Motorsports will debut in the CORR series on April 25, 2008 when the season begins in Pomona, Calif. For television coverage, check your local listing or log on to www.corracing.com.

Bryce

As the youngest and newest person to this team, I feel extremely lucky to be in this position. I have a great team to support me and some of the best fabricators and mechanics around. I think this season, Menzies will push their way to the top and become an unstoppable team. I can’t wait for the first race in Pomona. We will be out there to prove ourselves and start the season off with a bang… or a win.

Menzies Motorsports Announces 2008 CORR “Super Team”

The new kids on the block, along with a couple veterans, will soon comprise a “super team” in the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) series. Steve Menzies, owner and founder of Menzies Motorsports, will direct a new team in 2008 consisting of superstar Rob MacCachren, rookie sensation Bryce Menzies, CORR rookie Bryan Freeman and veterans Bruce Fraley, Larry Job.

“I have always had a passion for off-road racing and this is the ultimate opportunity to be involved,” said Steve Menzies. “First and foremost, I want our drivers to have a great time winning races. Everyone on our team loves to race and it is my plan to keep it fun.”

MacCachren, a native of Las Vegas, will anchor the Menzies Motorsports team as a Pro-2 driver in a Ford F-150 and a Super Buggy driver. A superstar in every right, MacCachren is considered to be one of the top off-road racers in the world and one of a few racers who has won championships in the desert and on closed courses. Throughout his long and successful racing career he has built an impressive resume with 33 CORR wins. In 2001, MacCachren became the only driver to win four championships in four different series—SCORE, CORR, BitD and SNORE. He was also part of the team that won the overall championship at the 2007 Baja 1000.

“I am very happy to be a part of this team,” said MacCachren. “Steve wants to win and he knows what it takes to win. If there is a piece of the puzzle missing, he will find it and do whatever it takes to keep our team on top. He has already put together a great group of people and we don’t even start racing until May.”

Bryce Menzies, Steve’s son, is the youngest racer on the team. With only a year of racing under his belt, he has already won the 2007 Single Buggy Championship and was named 2007 Rookie of the Year. In 2008, Menzies will drive a Ford Ranger in the Pro-Lite class.

Fraley has nearly 30 years of racing experience, including three wins at the Baja 1000 in the 1600 class. He also was named SCORE Mechanic of the Year three years in a row from 2001 to 2003. In 2007, he finished second place for the Single Buggy class, trailing Menzies. He will pilot a Ford Ranger in the Pro-Lite class for 2008.

Job began his racing career in 1977 at the age of 16 and that same year, he won his first championship at SNORE, won the overall SNORE points championship and placed in the top five at every race. Over the course of his 30+ year career, he has developed a reputation for winning. He received the Toyota Milestone Award in 1995 and has won championships in SNORE, SCORE and BITD. He will drive the Alumacraft Buggy in the Super Buggy class.

Freeman is also a native of Las Vegas and has been off-road racing for 11 years, but will be a rookie in the CORR series. His greatest racing accomplishment was his solo win in the 1600 class at the 2005 Baja 500. He was also the overall race winner of the 2007 SNORE Midnight Special and the 2004 MORE Freedom 250. Freeman will pilot the Fraley Buggy in the Single Buggy class.

Menzies Motorsports will debut in the CORR series on April 25, 2008. For television coverage, tune in to NBC on May 25 at 1:30 (EST). Check your local listing for air times in your area.
