Straight from Pomona, here is the new look of the Boss Snowplow sponsored Mazda of the Hord Off Road Racing Team. Along with the addition of Mazda, Chad Hord has acquired sponsorship for the 2008 CORR season with Amsoil and Trail Ready Beadlocks. Amsoil has long been associated with racing and provides the oil of choice to many of today's racers. Trail Ready is a manufacturer of beadlocks for many forms of racing and will soon launch it's own line of specialty wheels.

After qualifying a disappointing 10th for the 2008 CORR Opener, Chad Hord and his team set out to prove they are one of elite teams in the highly competitive Pro Lite division. With anticipation running high and the cameras rolling for the first ever Live CORR event on SPEED, the green flag flew sending 27 Pro LItes on their way. Chad got off to a good start passing a couple of trucks before the race was red flagged due to a collision at the back of the pack. On the restart, he once again would get a good start and begin dissecting the field. At the competition yellow, Hord sat comfortably in 5th place.

On the restart, Chad began pushing his Boss Snowplow sponsored Mazda towards the front. He picked up 2 more positions to move up to 3rd and was gaining ground on the leaders. Time ran out on Chad and he took his first podium of the season.

The crew made several changes on the truck and prepared to qualify for Round 2 at the LA Fairplex in Pomona CA. Fresh off of a podium finish in Round 1, Hord felt confident he could better his starting position from the previous day. With 5 laps to get the best qualifying time possible, Chad put his Mazda horsepower to the ground using his Kumho Tires to propel him in to a 3rd place qualifying time.

With temperatures nearing record highs, Pomona was indeed hot. Chad Hord proved to by even hotter. Riding high off his 3rd place finish in Rd. 1, Hord's confidence was soaring. Starting in the second row after qualifying, the battle for the win would be intense. Right from the start he took his Boss Snowplow Mazda charging towards the front. Through the treacherous rhythm section, the leaders tangled and Hord would inherit the lead.

Chad battled with Rob Naughton, last year's champion, to maintain his position. The competition yellow flag came out and Hord was in the lead. With the restart Chad hung on to the lead but after a few laps Naughton snuck by on the inside. Determined to capture his first win of the 2008, he powered his way into position to make a pass. The white flag came out and Chad had one chance to take the lead. He snuck by Naughton to retake the lead and in dramatic fashion, slid wide on the final turn. Naughton attempted to get by Hord, they collided and Chad took the checkered flag for the win by half a truck length.
