Seth Russell of Team I-45 Racing demonstrates the balance of aggression and finesse required to cross the finish line in the lead.
It's no secret that our staff is huge fans of not only mud racing, but more specifically the intense battles taken place within the CMR (Championship Mud Racing) series. For 2009, we experienced some of the most heated battles in racing, and even dove in to expose ourselves to the excitement.
With an economy that does not exactly lend itself to breeding race competitors or event attendance, this one goes out to the racers for making the 2009 CMR series a thriving success. This dedicated group of racers battled through the season with extreme passion and an unbridled will to win. Mud racing may have come to an end for now, but the 2010 High Lifter Mud Nationals will soon kick things off for yet another killer season of horsepower and fun, and we'll be there to capture the action. Congratulations to both the 2009 champions and competitors of the CMR Series.
