Morris Wins TORC Title
9/11/2009Riding Maxxis Trepador radials, Shawn Morris has clinched the TORC Pro Super Buggy championship. Morris racked up 178 points during the series, with performances that included two victories and a total of four trips to the podium. Morris’ win in Round 9 also netted him the prestigious Borg Warner Championship Cup ring.
According to Morris, Maxxis’ support throughout the season was instrumental to his title victory. “It was great. [Maxxis race support driver] Creighton King is at every single race. He did everything for me that he did for all the big truck guys,” said Morris, adding that his Trepadors also gave him an edge. “I think one of the big things about the Trepadors is that they’re lighter, with more of an open cut. We didn’t have to do a ton of grooving to them. They’re a softer compound with good hook-up, and they last. We ran two races on one set of tires, and we never had a flat.”
TORC fans can see Morris’ championship vehicle for themselves when they visit the SEMA Show, scheduled for November 3-6 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The orange buggy will be on display near the Maxxis support truck at the automotive specialty products event.
Maxxis congratulates Shawn Morris on his championship and thanks him for choosing the brand of champions.
