Cadiente ZEROS In on BITD Trick Truck Championship

Cadiente ZEROS In on BITD Trick Truck Championship

 

Mesa, Arizona - (November 27, 2006) Likened to the quiet before the storm,
G&R Racing has been busy preparing for this week's final off road desert
race of the season, Best In The Desert's, "Henderson Terrible 400."  Five of
the six BITD Silver States Series races have been raced in the desert of
Southern Nevada and the final race is staged to crown a champion.  2006 BITD
Rookie Trick Truck driver, Garron Cadiente, trails desert racing champion,
Curt LeDuc, by a mere four points in the battle for the Trick Truck
championship. 

 

The final race of the season will pit desert racing's latest sensation
against the living legend of the desert in what is expected to be fierce
fight.  On Saturday December 2, the fight card will read "Cadiente versus
LeDuc for the Title Championship."  The last race of the 2006 season marks
the end of Cadiente's first full season.  The rookie desert racer has left a
lasting mark on the nation's field of professional desert truck racers as he
captured victories in two different series and boldly demonstrated that he
is here to stay.

 

The 30-year-old father of four young children smiled and said, "The plan is
simply to go out and implement the precision that our team has demonstrated
all season long.  Each race we've become better at executing and I'm proud
of what our guys have accomplished.  This is a big race that will determine
the championship.  Having the opportunity to be in contention for the series
championship was a goal we established at the start of the season and here
we are.  Geiser Brothers has just finished up prepping the truck after the
SCORE Baja 1000 that we raced only 10 days ago, and I'm excited to get back
behind the wheel.  We're bringing all of our family and friends to this
final race to celebrate the end of a great season." 

 

Positioned in fourth spot in the overall point's race is the other half of
G&R Racing, Ron Whitton.  Fresh off a brilliant run from Ensenada to La Paz
at the Baja 1000, Whitton enlightened the world as to his ability to run
fast with the best racers in the world.  Deemed by his grandchildren as "The
Fastest Grandpa in the Desert," Whitton follows Trick Truck class leader
LeDuc by 23 points, Cadiente by 19 points and Vildolsola / MacCachren in
third place by a slight margin of six points.  

 

BITD's Henderson Terrible 400 begins Thursday afternoon with qualifying and
continues with contingency in the streets of downtown Henderson, Nevada on
Friday.  Racing action is slated for Saturday morning as the nation's top
team all descend on the Nevada Desert in search of a season ending victory.

 

G&R Racing would like to thank all their 2006 season sponsors including
Whitton Companies, BFGoodrich Tires, MOEN, Vision-X Lighting, King Shocks,
Arizona Materials, FnL Racing Fuel, SignPros, UPR, Suncoast Post-Tension,
