The 2013 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series will kick off their series in the Phoenix area with a three-day race weekend March 15 – 17, at Firebird Raceway in Chandler. The series is popular among adrenaline junkies for its extreme racing, truck jumps, rollovers and fast-paced nature.
The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, the pinnacle of off road short course racing, is rapidly climbing up the leader board of televised motor sports and is now ranked second, only to NASCAR, in cumulative on-air hours.
Throughout the weekend, guests will be able to get up close and personal with their favorite drivers. “The open-environment of the series allows attendees to walk into the pits, meet the drivers and get autographs,” says Ritchie Lewis, series director for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. “This is the ultimate opportunity for fans of the sport, or even those new to the races.”
Many of the world’s best short course drivers will be racing the series. Pro 4 and Pro 2 drivers include local and national talent, such as Carl Renezeder, Carey Hart, Rodrigo Ampudia, Corry Weller, Brian Deegan, Jeremy McGrath, Josh Merrell, Travis Coyne, and many more.
“Racing is such an adventure, not only for the racers, but for the fans,” says Rodrigo Ampudia, pro 2 truck driver. “The experience of coming out to a race is something you won’t forget.”
Kids ages 12 and under are free with each paid adult admission throughout the entire weekend.
