Out at the Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, AZ the two Nissans of Jimmy Stephensen and Casey Currie put on a solid effort and got Nissan on the podium in both Saturday and Sunday's events.
Now, first things first. While the Monster Energy Pro-Lite class Frontier of Casey Currie may hace the Nissan badging and carry factory Nissan sponsorship, it unfortunately is not a Nissan at heart. Instead it runs a Ford powerplant underneath its fiberglass...
More importantly though is Jimmy Stephensen's "true" Nissan Frontier which does possess a Nissan powerplant AND Nissan fiberglass. As an added bonus it was Stephensen's Nissan outperforming Currie's Forsan. Maybe Currie should switch powerplants!
Regardless, it was good to see the Nissan logo out there and competing at the top level of the Pro-Lite class. On Saturday the top three were Brian Deegan, Chris Brandt and Jimmy Stephensen in third while Currie finished 6th out of the 16 truck field. On Sunday, Jimmy stepped up his game a bit more, finished second on the day, just behind Chris Brandt and just ahead of Jacob Person while Currie finished 5th in the 15 truck field.
Stephensen comes out of the weekend in 2nd place in the overall standings behind only Brandt. The next LOORRS (Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series) event will also be in AZ, this time at Speedworld Off-Road Park in Surprise, AZ on April 16th and 17th.
