May 19, 2011 – La Mirada, CA – The Glen Helen round of the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series is*always one to get excited about, with much of the *industry and majority of *the drivers being from the*Southern California area including Rockstar Metal Mulisha Makita’s Brian Deegan and the Rockstar*Makita LeDuc Racing team of Curt, Todd, and Kyle LeDuc.
This weekend’s racing will mark rounds five and six of the series, and Brian Deegan comes into this event*in second place in ProLite and Pro 2. *2011 is Brian’s first full season in the Pro 2 class and he has*adapted extremely well to the new challenge by finishing on the podium several times thus far. *In ProLite,*“The General” is still the man to beat and as a former champion, is looking to capture another*championship. *He will face some stiff competition however from the Rockstar Makita ProLite truck of Kyle*LeDuc. *Kyle is a former champion as well and is hungry for a win in 2011.
The LeDuc’s come into Glen Helen looking to make a statement in Pro 4 action. *The team is more than*capable of running up front and has their sights set on a podium finish. “We’re really happy to be back at*Glen Helen in our own back yard,” said Todd LeDuc. “I want to put on a good show for my hometown*crowd and put my Rockstar Makita Ford truck up on the podium.”
In addition to all of the racing action this weekend, The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series has dedicated*Saturday’s event to Jeff “Ox” Kargola, who recently lost his life after a motorcycle crash in Mexico.*Kargola was one of the rising stars of the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series after achieving fame as a*freestyle motocross competitor and personality. He will be missed.
The 2010 race at Glen Helen was sold out, so organizers have doubled the seating capacity for this*weekend’s event. *CBS Sports will capture all the action for a broadcast on Sunday, June 12 at 2 p.m.*Eastern. *Tickets are on sale at www.allisports.com.
