Todd LeDuc Earns First Win in TORC’s Pro 2WD Class, currently 2nd in Points in Pro 2WD.
Just two weeks after dominating the field in both the two wheel and four wheel drive classes at the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series (LOORRS), the Rockstar / Makita Team LeDuc headed East for Rounds 9 and 10 of TORC Series racing in Bark River, Michigan. As the stands filled up with nearly 17,000 spectators, the 1.5 mile track of Bark River International Raceway provided some spectacular and unpredictable racing as the inaugural TORC Series season inches towards a close with just three races left in the points chase.
As the largest of the Pro classes took to the track on Saturday, Todd LeDuc found himself in the middle of a three-way battle with Johnson and McGrath for the lead position in the Pro 2WD class. As the checkered flag flew on the 11th lap, Todd crossed the finish line with a 2nd place podium in his No. 3 Rockstar / Makita Pro 2WD Ford. Claiming a hard fought lead on Sunday, Todd Leduc got out front and held on strong to earn his first win in the Pro 2WD class during TORC’s debut season.
Rockstar / Makita’s Team LeDuc Racing will return to the track for Rounds 11 and 12 of Traxxas TORC Series racing on September 4 – 6 at Crandon International Raceway. Coverage of The Off-Road Championship Series Bark River race can be seen on the ESPN2 Network – check local listings for broadcast times. As part of the 40th Anniversary celebration, Crandon’s legendary Labor Day race will be broadcast LIVE on the ABC Network over the Labor Day weekend!!
