Toyo’s Team Members Win at World Championship Off-Road Races

In the US, Team Toyo Off-Road drivers competing on Toyo Open Country M/T tyres had a great Labour Day weekend during the BorgWarner World Championship Off-Road Races at Crandon International Raceway in Wisconsin. Considered one of the biggest events on the 2007 Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing calendar, Team Toyo Off-Road drivers Curt LeDuc, Dave Waldvogel and Mike Vanden Heuvel all won races over the course of the weekend.

After this big Labor Day weekend, the Super Stock Truck class continues to have a nail-biting championship-points battle between Team Toyo Off-Road drivers Ben Wandahsega and Dave Waldvogel. During Saturday’s race, Waldvogel won his race driving his Bendix/Toyo Tires Chevy truck, while Wandahsega finished an uncharacteristic fifth place in his Forest County Potawatomi/Toyo Tires Chevy truck.

Also winning yet another race this weekend was Team Toyo Off-Road’s Mike Vanden Heuvel piloting his Amsoil/Toyo Tires 1600 Light Buggy to P1 during Sunday’s race. Vanden Heuvel’s win on Toyo tires is extremely rewarding as he defeated some 29-competitors on a packed race track.

“Team Toyo drivers had a fantastic weekend at the BorgWarner World Championship Off-Road Races,” said Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports, Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation. “We congratulate all of our drivers for their outstanding performances and couldn’t be happier with the number of podiums secured on Toyo tyres.”
