Lucas Oil targets expanding Mexico market With Off-Road Race South of the Border Aug 1-2
Corona, Ca (July 15, 2015): On Saturday andSunday, August 1-2, the best short-course off road racers and teams in the world will head south of the border to Mexico to make history at the inaugural two-day the Rockstar Energy “South of the Border Battle.”
The event, on the new Baja International Short Course at Estero Beach, Baja California, Mexico, will be rounds 11 and 12 of the 2015 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series presented by GEICO. The four professional classes – Pro 2, Pro 4, Pro Lite and Pro Buggy – will compete outside the U.S for the first time. The races will be run on a purpose-built, 1-mile track complete with whoops, berms, jumps and high-speed straightaways before an anticipated audience of more than 10,000 very knowledgeable off-road racing fans. MAVTV Motorsports Network will televise all the action from the resort facility about 8 miles south of the city of Ensenada.
“Mexico is a very important market for Lucas Oil,” said Lucas Oil Products, Inc., Executive Vice President, Bob Patison. “Six of our top 100 global customers are based in Mexico, so we are very excited to be able to export two rounds of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series across the USA/Mexico border for the first time.”
Both the Pro 2 and Pro 4 classes are expected to be hotly contested by fields of off-road racing giants. Many of the top contenders race both short course and the much longer distances of the Baja 500 and Baja 1000 over natural desert terrain and they will be running against some younger stars for whom racing in Baja is more legend than fact.
Veterans include Las Vegas’s Rob MacCachren, with more than 200 short course and desert victories including the 2013 and 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Pro 2 championships as well as the 2014 Baja 1000, and X Games star and Freestyle Motocross pioneer Brian Deegan – who has claimed six Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series titles in Pro 2 and Pro Lite.
Kyle LeDuc, from Beaumont, Ca., captured his second Pro 4 championship in 2014 and is continuing his winning ways while leading the 2015 Pro 4 standings. Other established stars involved in tight battles in either Pro 2 or Pro 4 or both include multi-time champion Carl Renezeder of Laguna Beach, Ca., and former “King Of Supercross” Jeremy McGrath of Encinitas, Ca.
Up and coming stars sure to figure in the 2015 Championships include Bryce Menzies of Las Vegas, RJ Anderson of Riverside, Ca. and hometown star Rodrigo Ampudia, whose Pro 2 truck flies the colors of Ensenada’s iconic “Papas&Beer” cantina.
“The Rockstar Energy ‘South of the Border Battle’ will be a milestone in closed-course off road racing,” Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Director Ritchie Lewis said. “The Baja fans are so knowledgeable and partisan, and with ‘favorite son’ Rodrigo Ampudia currently in the top five in the Pro 2 standings we expect racing fireworks.”

Dave Despain talks to Tony Schumacher
TONY SCHUMACHER – NHRA LEGEND …ONLY ON THE DAVE DESPAIN SHOW
Corona, CA (Monday, July 14, 2015): Dave’s guest this Sunday night, July 19 at 8:30pm ET is superstar drag racer Tony “The Sarge” Schumacher, known for his intense personality and buzzcut hairstyle. In this interview, Schumacher doesn’t back off from Dave’s penetrating question style, revealing his precise mental approach to one of the world’s most dangerous motorsports. It’s not easy becoming a legend in a sport which has produced many great names such as Don Garlits or Joe Amato in the NHRA’s elite Top Fuel Class, but Tony Schumacher has done that and more. “When I’m strapped into the U.S. Army car and the light comes on, the only thing I’m going to be worried about is hitting the gas and getting down the racetrack,” said Tony Schumacher.
Schumacher has won an astonishing eight Top Fuel championships including 2004-2009 consecutively as well as capturing the 2014 title. Truly living up to the adage ‘pedal to the metal,’ in 1999 he became the first driver ever to exceed 330mph in competition, and in 2005 set a world record for the fastest ¼-mile top fuel run of 337.58mph at Brainerd, Minnesota.
On Sunday, July 12, 2015, Schumacher regained his lead in the 2015 NHRA Top Fuel Championship chase with a victory at his home track in Joliet, IL, beating teammate Anton Brown in the Top Fuel final eliminations Lucas Oil Route 66 Nationals at Route 66 Raceway.
Schumacher was born in on December 25, 1969 and lives in Chicago, Illinois. He is the son of former funny car driver Don Schumacher and drives for his father’s multi-team organization.
