 Greaves Sweeps Pro 4x4, Mac Passes McGrath on Final Lap in Pro 2WD Action, Kincaid Makes Great Come Back for Second Victory of the Season at Bark River  Watch the entire Round 7 Pro Light race video | Photo of this weekend's actionBark River, MI (July 12, 2009)-The Traxxas TORC Truck Series presented by AMSOIL took 12,000 of Michigan's off road fans for a wild ride this weekend. Bark River International Raceway was the proud host to rounds 7 and 8 of the national series. Monster Energy driver Johnny Greaves was the star of the Kumho Tires PRO 4x4 class this weekend taking two victories and two Oakley Bomb Run Awards for the fastest lap times. In the points race Greaves is closing in on Rick Huseman, who has dominated the PRO 4x4 class with five wins and five Oakley Bombs. Saturday, Greaves shared the podium with two Rockstar drivers-the father and son team of Curt and Kyle Leduc. On Sunday, AMSOIL's Scott Douglas and points leader Rick Huseman took the podium with Greaves. Dan Vanden Heuvel was victorious Saturday in the AMSOIL PRO 2WD class, and led most of Sunday's race until a flat tire took him out of his quest for a weekend sweep. Rob MacCachren joined Vanden Heuval on the podium Saturday taking second. Ben Wandahsega claimed his first podium of the season finishing third. On Sunday fans were on their feet with excitement, as Jeremy McGrath narrowly missed his first victory after leading several laps; he succumbed to superstar Rob MacCachren, and in the end took a second place finish. Fellow Rockstar driver Todd Leduc rounded out the podium with a third place finish. The PRO Light class may have the least horsepower, but it is stocked with talent from veteran drivers, to up and coming talent. Boss Snowplow sponsored driver Chad Hord came out on top on Saturday with Chris Brandt in second and Maxxis' Marty Hart in third. Hart led most of Sunday's race until his car caught on fire leaving the window open for Traxxas powerhouse Jeff Kincaid to win. Chris Brandt took his second podium of the weekend in the second spot. Casey Currie brought his first podium and third place finish to newly signed sponsor Monster Energy. The next stop on the 2009 TORC race schedule is Oshkosh Speedzone in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for a special round of racing for the sportsman and SRT classes July 24th and 25th. The TORC PRO classes will then return to Bark River on August 8th and 9th for rounds 9 and 10.
