Davao 4Wheelers lead driver Joseph Rodriguez is proving beyond doubt that he is one of the country’s best 4×4 extreme racers by notching his third win in a row in the current Maxxis 4×4 Cup Championship series.
Rodriquez posted his first win for the year during the first national leg of the National Association of Filipino Offroaders-sanctioned series in San Idelfonso, Ilocos Sur last February. He also racked wins in Tiboli, South Cotabato, and Davao last month.
Rodriquez’s 4Wheelers Davao teammates Reynan Jayme and Jodax Daquil finished second and third, respectively, in Tiboli and gave him a good battle up to the end. Jayme managed to take Track B’s best time while Rodriguez ruled Tracks A and C.
Edison “Ton” Dungca of Kapampangan Racing Team finished fourth overall with only less than four minutes total time for the three tracks. Dennis Garcia finished fifth, enabling 4Wheelers Davao to get four spots in the top five standings.
Dungca came back with vengeance in Davao and finished second overall. The surprise was Kent Estrella of CDO 4 Wheelers who placed third overall as he was only tenth in the Tiboli leg. Fourth place went to Altamera Altams.
The hard fought races firmly confirmed Rodriguez’s lead for the season as the field of competitors head to the fourth round of the current series in Pradera, Lubao, Pampanga this weekend.
The Maxxis 4×4 Cup is sponsored by Maxxis Tires, which is becoming the standard for extreme offroad racing, and TRE 4×4. The fourth round of the current series will be a part of the Pradera Hot Air Balloon Festival. For details, visit the NAsFOR Facebook page.
