In a historic first for Maxxis, the company\u2019s riders swept the podium at the biggest race in the off-road world, the AMSOIL Cup. he race came down to a battle between father and son as C.J. Greaves took the victory with father Johnny Greaves in second place. heir fellow Maxxis driver Chad Hord took the third spot on the podium at the race, held September 1 in Crandon, Wisconsin. he AMSOIL Cup was the finale of Rounds 14-15 of the ORC series, which began the day before.<\/p>\n
A close finish capped a Cup race that thrilled spectators from the outset, as C.J., Johnny and Hord each got good starts. Hord gained an early lead but was overtaken by C.J. in the first lap. Johnny made steady progress throughout the opening laps, and was fifth by Lap 4. By Lap 8, he had overtaken Hord and was second behind C.J. Father and son were neck and neck for the final three laps, pulling off a finish so close that a review by ORC officials was necessary to discern the winner. \u201cIt was amazing. Even to have it play out like that it was like a Cinderella story,\u201d said the elder Greaves. \u201cYou dream about it. When I finally caught the Pro2s and I saw him out front, I got alongside him, and he kept picking up the pace. We both gave it everything we had, and it was a photo finish. he tires are amazing this year as far as the predictability and performance. I\u2019ve been with other tire companies, and they don\u2019t get it right this quickly.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even without the AMSOIL Cup podium sweep, the weekend would have been excellent for Maxxis. Keegan Kincaid won the Pro Light race, while Bradley Morris won Pro Buggy. Johnny took an earlier turn on the podium when he earned third place in Pro 4×4, as did Hord when he took second place in the Pro 2WD race.<\/p>\n
