BFGoodrich® Tires Gears Up for 2006 Championship Off-Road Racing Series
Greenville, SC

After a very successful 2005 Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) season, BFGoodrich® Tires returns in 2006 looking to continue its off-road dominance in the extremely competitive series. BFGoodrich Tires teams won more races in 2005 than all other tire manufacturers combined, taking home class championships in the Pro-4 and Pro-2, Pro-Lite, Single Buggy and Light Buggy classes.

"The demanding race conditions and high-level of competition within the CORR series combine to provide an ideal proving ground for BFGoodrich to demonstrate the capability of our off-road tires." said Todd Steen, Motorsports Marketing Manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "The Brand has been a active partner in the CORR series since its inception and we are looking forward to repeating our successes in 2006 and beyond."

Many of CORR's most talented drivers endorse BFGoodrich tires and have helped to achieve a six-year winning streak in the top three classes of the series. Reigning champions Carl Renezeder, Jeff Kincaid and Johnny Greaves, will continue their alliance with BFGoodrich Tires this year. Six-time CORR champion, Scott Taylor, also returns for another intense racing season and faces a head-to-head battle with Renezeder to claim hold over the Pro-2 class.

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) combines close, fender-to-fender racing on challenging closed-course off-road tracks across the U.S. Now in its 9th year, the 2006 CORR season kicks off May 20 - 21 in Chula Vista, Calif. Races will be televised on the SPEED Channel.
