Jordan Pellegrino Sweeps the 4500 class at the GenRight Off Road Nor Cal Rock Racing Championship Series, Round 1

March 28, 2015: Jordan Pellegrino, driver of the GenRight 4585 car, brought home a definitive win at the GenRight Off Road Nor Cal Rock Racing Championship Series, Round 1, taking first place in two preliminary races and in the main 4500 class race. Pellegrino led the field of five racers for most of his time on the track and finished the day on top of the podium.

The track at Prairie City, home of the 3-race Nor Cal series, made for a rough race, knocking out 2 of the other 4500 class competitors before the main, along with countless racers from the other classes. Luckily for Pellegrino and team GenRight, we had a solid day of racing and experienced very few issues with the car.

In the main 4500 race, Jordan pulled out in front of the other two drivers, Justin Hall and Makinzie Alavazo, right off the start, gaining a quick eight second lead over Hall, who held second until the track’s second rock section threw him for a front flip hard enough to take his car out of the race. Alavazo also had trouble in the rocks, leaving Pellegrino to finish out the race essentially unmatched. Even as the only car racing, Pellegrino put up ever improving lap times, and gave the crowd a great show!

A true sportsman, Pellegrino still gave his very best effort as he completed his remaining laps and offered his sincere congratulations to his peers.

More About Nor Cal Rock Racing:
Nor Cal Rock Racing takes place at the Prairie City SVRA. The 2-mile off road race track packs a huge punch, with multiple gnarly rock sections, tight turns, hills, and a super-fast straightaway. The best part? All of this can be seen from the bleachers which offer spectating better than most other races of its kind!

The one-day event was an action packed day of racing, complete with a Vendor show and open pit area where fans could get up close to the race cars and teams. The event continues to grow in size and support, and promoter John Goodby is dedicated to making this a truly excellent event for races and spectators alike. The Nor Cal Rock Racing Series includes two more races which take place June 13th and August 8th. Find more info here.
