Greaves Has Horrifying Crash at Pomona CORR Round 9
Pomona, CA (August 16, 2008) – Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota's Johnny Greaves didn't disappoint the sellout crowd in Pomona or the live SPEED television audience that tuned-in to get their weekend dose of Monster adrenaline. After a strong performance in the Pro 2 class Greaves took charge early in the Pro 4 class but a driveshaft issue caused him to give up the lead and send him to the rear of the pack. On the last lap, Greaves got airborne after getting together with Ed Herbst in turn one and rolled - in the air – no less than 8 times before pounding the asphalt section at Pomona. The crowd was stunned as Greaves was removed from the truck and carted off in the ambulance to Pomona Valley Medical Center, where he was treated and released with minor bruises and a very bad looking right eye.
 "I thought my eye was coming out of my head when the spinning stopped and I was trying to keep pressure on it," stated a shook-up Greaves after returning from the hospital. "I guess I may have given myself a black eye. I was disappointed not to get this win for the fans, but I'm really just glad to be here after that one," Greaves continued.
Greaves ran a strong race in the Pro 4 after starting in the 5th position. He quickly worked his way to the front and had the lead on Kyle LeDuc as the race resumed after the mandatory competition caution. On the first lap after the caution, LeDuc made the pass in turn 5 as Greaves lost his front drive. Then Scott Douglas hit Greaves in turn one causing the Tundra of Greaves to spin out and go to the back due to his mechanical issues. The crash occurred on the last lap as Ed Herbst and Greaves were side by side in turn one and the Herbst truck hit Greaves' Toyota while already airborne. This sent Greaves flying and the rest is history.
