Bob Willis Wins

From an Xtreme Off-Road Racing Association (XORRA) Press Release:

LaFollette, TN (February 15, 2010) – On January 30, a group of the nation’s top Xtreme Off-Road racers invaded Southern California’s Angels Stadium for an action packed night of Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam by Ford Trucks and Arena Rock Racing brought to you by the XORRA. Starting with the pre show “Ford Party in the Pits,” the teams were able to display their race vehicles along with visiting the more than 20,000 “Superfans” that came out early just to meet the drivers. Once the show started the 50,000 plus fans in attendance witnessed some of the wildest action Xtreme Motorsports has to offer.

With such drivers as 100% Cottin Rodd, XRRA Dominator Rick Deremo, Dan McDonald and Rancho’s Bob Willis putting it all on the line the fans got a taste of the future of Xtreme Off-Road Racing arena style.

After the first two heats and once the dust had settled, Bob Willis and Dan McDonald found that they were the last men standing going into the final round of the evening. The race started off neck and neck but then McDonald started to pull ahead and it looked as though he was going to clinch the win, but as fate would have it he caught a bad line and ended up wrong side down. Willis seeing his opportunity ran the rest of his race flawlessly to take the checkered flag and the win.
