"Short course off-road racing is fast, exciting and something for the entire family to enjoy," says Lucas Oil founder and President, Forest Lucas, “[including] fender to fender racing featuring superstars like Carl Renezeder, Brian Deegan, Rob MacCachren and Jeremy McGrath in the elite ranked Pro-2 and Pro-4 classes. While on the same program, grassroots racers and their families highlight the action packed amateur classes, making this a truly ‘American Real’ motorsport."
