Weller Racing
On the LOORRS Podium Once Again at SpeedWorld
Lucas Oil Offroad Racing Series
- Rounds 11 & 12 - Speedworld
Chandler, AZ (9/29/2010) - For
the second time this year, the Lucas Oil Off Road
Race Series returned to Weller Racing’s
hometown track for another two rounds of action
at Speedworld Offroad Park in Surprise, AZ this
past weekend.
For Corry Weller, Weller Racing/Tilted Kilt/MagnaFlow
Pro SR1 racer, racing in front of her home crowd
meant a lot to her, especially after coming off
of an unlucky previous two rounds at Glen Helen,
CA. Seeking some much needed redemption and determined
to make a statement, Weller put down the fastest
qualifying time overall on Saturday, after missing
practice on Friday due to mechanical issues. This
would put her on pole position for Saturday’s
main event, and it was exactly where she wanted
to be.
“Starting out front in this class, especially
when it’s muddy, is definitely a big advantage.
Not only do you have a clear line of sight without
roost, you also don’t get caught up in the
carnage that usually happens in the first couple
of turns.” noted Weller. “Since they
rarely invert our class, being the fastest in
qualifying is crucial.”
Saturday’s SR1 UTV race was an epic, three-way
battle between three Weller Racing drivers; Tyler
Herzog, Corry Weller, and Cody Rahders. With a
heavily watered track, drivers in all classes
fought to find traction and the fastest way through
every corner. Herzog took the lead early and would
keep it for the entire race, despite Weller dogging
his every move and looking for a clean pass. Weller
just wasn’t able to put a move on Herzog,
and would cross the finish line in 2nd place,
with Rahders in a very close third, making it
an “all Weller Racing” podium for
Round 11.
Sunday morning’s qualifier saw Weller taking
the fastest lap overall for the second time, as
well as securing the fastest lap in both UTV classes
for the entire weekend. Once again starting on
the pole, Weller would have the starting position
she was seeking for a second chance at the top
spot on the podium, as the green flag dropped
and both classes shot forward. With only a couple
of laps underway, however, Weller’s radiator
fan and power steering relay failed, causing her
motor to heat up quickly in the 108 degree weather,
and forcing her to make the difficult decision
to pull off at the mandatory caution in order
to save her motor.
Weller Racing’s Herzog and Rahders wound
up finishing in first and second for Sunday’s
main after some exciting racing, putting Weller
Racing up on the podium once again, and increasing
Herzog’s points lead in the championship
to an even greater margin.
“Overall, despite a lot of things that
could have gone better for us, it was a successful
weekend for Weller Racing.” states Jason
Weller. “We were fortunate enough to be
welcomed once again into the MagnaFlow pits, we
met and talked with a ton of fans, we were a part
of some great racing, and we were on the podium
for two more rounds. You can’t ask for much
more in a weekend!”
Weller Racing would like to recognize and thank
the Tilted Kilt, MagnaFlow, Walker Evans, LoneStar
Racing, Maxxis Tires, Simpson Racing, K&N,
Twisted Stitch, Unisteer, Parker Pumper, and Highway
Hotties for their support for the 2010 season.

two rounds in Las Vegas, NV on November 6th and
7th.
