Weller Racing Contiunes LOORS SR1 Class Points Lead in Utah
Lucas Oil Offroad Racing Series - Rounds 7 & 8 - Tooele, UT

Weller Racing's Corry Weller kicks up a roost in her SR1 Class UTV at Miller Motorsports Park

Always liking the challenge of a new track, Weller turned out one of the fastest times in the first practice, and decided early on that she liked the new track and the challenges it offered.

“While new tracks can be a lot of work, I have a great car that gives me a lot of confidence to try new things.” explains Weller. “This track was super slick when it was wet, and hard packed when it was dry. Usually, it’s about the whole package, but this weekend in particular, my Maxxis Ceros tires really did a great job of getting traction throughout the entire race, and that was important for us.” She added, “Plus, I like messy tracks – they force you to reign in your adrenaline a bit and think about throttle control a little more.”

Saturday’s race saw Weller starting towards the back of the field, but by the mandatory caution she had already worked her way up through the field and into the top four overall. With the consistency that she is known for, Weller kept pace with first place for the second half of the race and, capitalizing on a mechanical failure suffered by the Teryx in front of her, almost pulled off a first place finish in a mad dash for the checkers, missing it by three-tenths of a second and giving the crowd an exciting finish!

Sunday’s race proved to be just as solid of a performance as Weller started closer to the front and paced the leader for several laps until she missed an important shift, which allowed third place to scoot past. Not allowing herself to get frustrated, she concentrated on staying smooth and keeping the car in one piece on the brutal track, resulting in another second place finish for the weekend, and boosting her overall points lead to 16 points for the weekend.

“We are halfway through the season now,” stated Weller after the race, “and it’s a great feeling to put a little more distance between us and the rest of the class. This tough little Rhino has been good to me over the past few years, and I’m confident we can do what it takes to stay on top of the newer, more expensive vehicles coming into this class.” Her thoughtful gaze drifts over to her black, Tilted Kilt wrapped SR1 for a moment, and she continues, “It’s all about staying focused on our long-term goals and being totally prepared, one race at a time.”
