Maxxis to sponsor Eastern Division rock racing champion

April 14, 2008

Maxxis International reports it is sponsoring defending Maxxis Xtreme Rock Racing Association Eastern Division champion Rusty Bray in 2008.

Bray, a veteran rock crawler, took the 2007 XRRA Eastern Division title in his first year of rock racing, riding on both Maxxis Trepadors and Creepy Crawlers.

“We are extremely excited about our 2008 season with Maxxis as our partner,” says Bray. “We feel the 40-inch Creepy Crawler will keep us on the podium all season with its championship-winning tread design and durability. We’ve now competed in 11 grueling events on some of the most extreme terrain in the country and have never had a failure from our tires. Our team also runs the 37-inch Trepador on the rock crawler for the W.E.ROCK series, and it has also performed flawlessly all year.”
