As a sign of its involvement in off-road motorsports, Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels had not only committed its resources to sponsorship of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS), but it has also returned to support the regional grass roots short course racing as a sponsor of the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Racing Series MiniStock class.

LucasOil-logoAccording to Lucas Oil, the sponsorship from Mickey Thompson means help to racers who build and compete in small, production-based trucks. These MiniStock Class racers rely primarily on stock components and with minor modifications, these production trucks are converted into competition vehicles. These competitors don’t have big budgets, and Mickey Thompson’s sponsorship means that these racers who are passionate about the sport get the assistance they need.

“It’s important to us to have a meaningful role in supporting racers on the ground,” said Ken Warner, VP of Marketing, Mickey Thompson. “Our role with this series offers the perfect opportunity to do that, and is also a great way for us to showcase the Mickey Thompson off-road tires and wheels that are perfect for these high performance applications.”

“The MiniStock class is one of the fastest growing racing classes in the series here in southern California and in Arizona,” stated Lee Perfect, LOORRS director. “Because of the limited modifications and smaller budgets, the MiniStock teams are always looking for every advantage, and Mickey Thompson’s involvement makes a big difference.”
