Hord Racing

Hord clawed his Maxxis tires into the hallowed dirt and screamed into the famous Turn One, coming out in the lead! Unfortunately the lead was short-lived, as Hord over-rotated in the Gravel Pit turn trying to get used to the 2wd, and Mike Vanden Heuvel got by. But from there he held strong, and the Hord Racing truck held on to second place through... to the mandatory caution. After the restart, Hord stayed on Vanden Heuvel's back bumper and kept himself in a position to capitalize on any mistakes. But Vanden Heuvel ran a perfect race, and Hord had to settle for second place. Hord and his crew were happy to land on the box and celebrate a Father's day podium with family! "I have to thank my sponsors Lucas Oil, Ponsse, Maxxis, Vision Wheel for putting me up on the box today," Chad stated after the win. "It was a great first run and felt good to get back into my PRO 2. I am happy to be here for the first time running this season." The weekend was not yet over for the Hord Racing Team, and they quickly got to work to prepare for the Forest County Potawatomi Community Cup Challenge race, which pits the PRO 2 and PRO 4 trucks against each other on the same track. After some shock changes, the truck was ready for race time. Hord took off with the head-start that the PRO 2s received and came through Turn One in third place. Chad got caught up with the other front-runners early but was able to hold on to third place. The PRO 2s continued to stay well ahead of their 4wd competitors until lap four, when a serious rollover forced a full-course caution and brought the whole field together. The PRO 2 trucks were no match for the PRO 4s on their rear bumper, but Hord held them off for as long as he could. He fought to the end, only surrendering 5th place position on the last lap of the race. Crossing the checkered, Chad Hord and the Lucas Oil, Ponsse, Maxxis, Vision Wheel PRO 2 finished in the sixth place position. Chad has positioned himself well to be a major contender in the PRO 2 championship race. "Thank you to my crew ...Read More
