| Challenge Cup Finishes Season With A Bang |
 December 12, 2011
Now that the 2011 regular season is over, there is only one day of racing left this year for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by GEICO, and for many, it’s the day they look forward to most. That’s right, it’s the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup, the day when points aren’t on offer, but cash and bragging rights are. With lots of money up for grabs, as well as the two unique, once-a-year “class vs. class” races, it was no wonder that fans flocked in and filled the stands here at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, AZ. These races are the ones which, perhaps more than any other, all the drivers want to win, and everyone has their own strategy on how to pull off a victory. One thing is for sure, though: nobody shows anyone any mercy in these races, and the infields and hot pits are invariably filled with broken, mangled, and immobile trucks and buggies by race’s end. These races are the hardest ones to win, and anyone who comes out on top can say they’ve accomplished something truly special.

| Championships Decided in Arizona |
 December 11, 2011
As the season comes full circle, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by GEICO, is back at Firebird International Raceway for the final weekend of the 2011 season. Only one regular season round was left to determine the 2011 champions of ten out of our eleven classes, so the drivers in those points battles had it all to do today. All the other drivers had their own motivation as well, as any driver worth anything would want to bring home a win in the last race of the regular season, and there was no denying the tension in the air or the ferocity of competition here today. This is a great track, with a couple of unique features that we don’t see anywhere else, like the challenging step-up jump into turn four (for the adult classes only), and the multi-line “either/or” section, where drivers have two lines to choose from, between turns four and five. The stands were packed and the weather was great, as was the racing, so if you couldn’t be here, you really missed out.

| Round 15 Qualifying |
December 10, 2011
As the final weekend of racing is upon us, we at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by GEICO, find ourselves at the friendly grounds of Firebird International Raceway in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler, AZ. With just one regular season round of racing left to run before the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup races on Sunday, it’s now or never for all those drivers looking to take home a season championship. For all these drivers, the one point that comes with taking a pole position in qualifying is immensely important, and for those out of the running for a title, taking the pole is still a big source for bragging rights. This would be the final chance at pole for all the drivers in the adult classes this season, and the tight times produced were indicative of how hard everyone was trying. Below is our recap of the day’s events; read on to find out what happened.

| THE CHALLENGE IS ON! |
 December 06, 2011
This weekend, December 10th & 11th , the superstars of short
course off road racing will descend upon Firebird Raceway in Chandler
Arizona to settle the season championship picture and battle for their
share of the largest combined purse in short course off road racing;
the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup. As the most prestigious event in the
sport, the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup combines classes, normally run
separately throughout the season, racing head to head with over
$100,000 on the line. But, before Sunday’s all out assault on Firebird
Raceway’s purpose built, short course off road battleground, one
crucial opportunity remains for teams to capture coveted season
titles.
