The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) has long been known as some of the most exciting off-road racing action going on in the country and the Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park racetrack in Lake Elsinore, California is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most exhilarating venues. The April 25-26, 2014 (Round 3 and 4) Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series events proved that more than ever with a roller coaster-like track that sent race trucks and cars flying a hundred feet or more through the air, fender-to-fender finishes, and tumbles and crashes that had race fans on their feet the entire time.
The event was tough on all the competitors, but Team Mickey Thompson (M/T) competitors were able to come through it all with six podium finishes, celebrating another winning weekend of Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series racing. In Pro 2, Brian Deegan earned a first place finish in round three and a second place finish in round four on Mickey Thompson Baja Pro tires.
Pro Buggy competitor Chad George earned a first place podium finish in both round three and round four, and Dave Mason Jr. earned a second place Pro Buggy finish in round four on Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires. In Pro Lite, Brian Deegan earned a first place podium finish in round four on Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 tires. Both Deegan and George now lead in points standings in Pro 2 and Pro Buggy respectively.
“We love it when this series comes to our home track in Lake Elsinore,” stated Ken Warner, VP of Marketing for Mickey Thompson. “The Team M/T racers did a great job, especially following rainy conditions and round three competition that involved some terrible crashes including our own Team M/T member and Pro 4 racer, Eric Barron, and thankfully he’s okay.”
“Seeing everyone come out strong again in rounds three and four was really inspiring. We congratulate all the racers for the incredible spirit and stunning performances they exhibited again this weekend.”
