Brian Deegan made his CORR racing debut over the weekend in Pomona. Going into the weekend Deegan only had 1 chance to drive the Rockstar/Makita Pro Lite truck he would be racing, so he really didn’t know what to expect. Normally qualifying lap times would give you a pretty good idea of where you stand, but on Saturday the truck’s transponder wasn’t working so they had him start in the back of the pack for the main, so that sucked.
On the first lap of the main there was a pile up in front of Deegs and he clipped one of the dudes with his front right tire causing a flat. The wheels for the truck are one of a kind so they didn’t have a spare available right away to change the flat. Deegan was forced to drive 3 laps slow as hell with a flat until they could get it changed.
With a fresh tire Deegan got back out there and battled it out with he best of ‘em! Above Deegan, #58, takes the outside line to carry speed into the straight away and pass those fools! He managed to finish 16th.
Sunday, day 2, gave Deegan a new clean slate to qualify and go for it in the main. Deegan qualified 16th out of about 30 trucks! Not bad for his second race!
So Deegan started mid-pack in the main on Sunday…no flats, no excuses, just a truck and track to battle it out. Deegan passed a bunch of guys and by the last lap he was in 7th place! Top 10 just like he wanted. Unfortunately, some dumb ass, #25, that he was battling with decided to go for a takeout maneuver on the back pavement section on the last lap. They both go spun out and got passed by a bunch of trucks. Deegan managed to restart the truck and get back out there to finish 14th, while #25 got what he deserved with a tow truck ride back to the pits.

Deeg,
You are a force to reckon with!!!!! Bike racers excel and haul ass at anything they do!!!!
I’m glad to see your opening more doors for the Mulisha, and now you will be safer in the roll cage, I don’t want to see you on a stretcher anymore. You don’t have to prove anything on a dirt bike, you are the MX GOD aka THE GENERAL. I defend your name everywhere I go, some people don’t see what you have done and if they aren’t doing double back flips, they need to shut up.

Dude, your the Man!! I saw that you were in seventh and I was trippen! thats great for your first race! I’m going to say that you are one of the best guys supporting Rockstar! I got your back!! Great job Deegan or (The General)!!!!!
Hey Deegs,
Shit I wish there was some of this racing downunder at the Hunter Valley. Our local motordrome was sold off to some developing company and totally demolished. So no where local to go and see demolition derby and no more Friday night burnouts.
There is supposed to be a new proposal for a motorplex just north of Raymond Terrace though, so thats something I guess.
Awesome job in the race, I would expect nothing less from the “General”
mwah xoxoxoxo
Damn Deegan thats tight! Was McGrath there racing? Bang some fenders with him! That’d be tight. Nice to see you stickin American in the Ford and not driving any gay Jap truck. Deegan always pulls shit off the right way. Good luck in CORR.
