Davao\'s Joseph Rodriguez Wins NAsFOR Truck Challenge, Driver of the Year Award
National Association of Filipino Off-roaders (NAsFOR) concluded the final and biggest race of the latest season of the MAXXIS 4x4 Cup Extreme Off-Road Challenge, and when the smoke cleared, it was Joseph Rodriguez of 4Wheelers Davao who rose to the top of the heap.
During the last race of the MAXXIS Off-Road Challenge, dubbed the Philippine Tough Truck Challenge (PTTC) 2019, Rodriguez managed to beat 28 of the country’s top extreme off-roaders en route to winning the final and biggest race of the racing season.
Thanks to his superb performance during the final race, Rodriguez also nabbed his first NAsFOR Driver of the Year (DOY) honor, besting his fiercest rival Edison “Tonton” Dungca of the Kapampangan Racing Team, himself a two-time winner of the DOY award in 2013 and 2014.
