Oxnard, CA – July 24, 2007.  For over 65 years, Granatelli has been a name synonymous with race winning innovation.  Granatelli’s race winning innovation includes over three hundred land speed records, the world’s fastest modular engined Mustang, the world’s fastest Camaro, several wins at the Indy 500 plus Turbine Indy car innovation. 

Now, two 3^rd generation Granatelli’s (Joey “JoJo” Granatelli and Vincenzo Granatelli) are continuing the racing tradition with CORR (Championship Off Road Racing) Trophy Karts.  Recognizing the opportunity for tremendous exposure, several notable corporations are now proud sponsors including Comp Cams, FedEx (Vincenzo Major sponsor) Fleming Motorsports, Granatelli Motor Sports (Major Sponsor), Matco Tools, Optima Batteries, Redline Oil, and Rock Star Energy Drinks (Major Sponsor).

According to J.R. Granatelli (father and team manager for Jojo and Vincenzo), “we’re honored to be sponsored by major players in racing, lifestyle and food industries.  Trophy Kart racing is an all-new venue ideal for young racers to get their feet wet in racing.  Trophy Kart racing takes place at every CORR race and many are featured on NBC (see www.corracing.com for dates and times).  JoJo and Vincenzo have a passion for racing that is really amazing to be a part of.  They have a drive and determination for winning that’s almost electric and you can feel it while in their presence.  And, they have a lot of charisma (a Granatelli staple).  Of course, this is only the beginning.  Someday, they might pursue Indy car or Formula 1.  Whatever they decide, I couldn’t be prouder of them wanting to continue the Granatelli racing legacy.”
