TRAXXAS Partners with
Rick Huseman Racing as the
No.3 FABTECH/TRAXXAS/Toyota TRD/Toyo Tires Pro 4
Enters This Weekend Chula Vista Event
Riverside, CALIFORNIA - Rick Huseman Racing returns to the Chula Vista
International Raceway for Rounds 11 & 12 on September 13-14, 2008. The No.3
Pro 4 race truck will feature TRAXXAS bedside logos after Rick Huseman Racing
and TRAXXAS announced a marketing partnership for the remainder of the 2008
Championship Off Road Racing season.
"We are happy to announce a partnership between Rick Huseman Racing and
TRAXXAS for the rest of the 2008 CORR season. TRAXXAS is the number-1 selling
name in Ready-to-Race nitro and electric models for the last 4 years running.
They are a proven winner and we are proud to unite our winning race team with
a successful company in TRAXXAS. Corporate sponsorship is a vital ingredient
to a successful race operation and the addition of TRAXXAS to our partners list
is exciting. We will debut the No.3 Pro 4 at Chula Vista International Raceway
this upcoming weekend and we plan on putting the No.3 on the podium," commented
Rick Huseman.
After 10 rounds of Championship Off Road Racing, Rick Huseman is positioned
third in the overall standings, a mere 16 points from the leader. Crowds at
the Chula Vista International Raceway have nearly sold out in the past. Chula
Vista International Raceway is located in southern San Diego County, only a
few miles from the United States / Mexico border.
Huseman said, "Off road racing is very popular in Southern California and
especially in the outlying areas surrounding downtown San Diego. That,
combined with racing so close to Mexico where fans are incredibly passionate
about the rage of off road racing, sets up a great venue for Rounds 11 & 12 of
the 2008 Championship Off Road Racing season. Heading into the race weekend,
it is imperative that we stay close within the top three of the championship
point's race. You will see us run full tilt this weekend as we aim to claim
the top spot in the 2008 Pro 4 Championship."
Fans are encouraged to visit the Rick Huseman Racing Pit Zone that features
a display by FABTECH Motorsports and plenty of MONSTER Energy Drink floating
around the pits. TRAXXAS Ready-to-Race models can be viewed at the TRAXXAS
display zone and cars/trucks are available for purchase at the track as well.
Rick and his crew will be in the pits signing autograph hero cards throughout
the day, so take advantage of the opportunity and stop by the Rick Huseman
Racing Pit Zone.
