Considered by many the modern day icon of short course off-road racing, Carl Renezeder rallies toward victory against a stacked field of competitors, which has landed him onto the podium and into an onslaught of championships that has made him into the iconic face man of the two major brands he represents. He is the Lucas Oil and General Tire dynasty, delivering dominating wins as well as championships in Pro 4 Unlimited and Pro 2 Unlimited truck classes.

Ricky Johnson is a legend, plain and simple. The man has met U.S. presidents. He's an inductee of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. And he's one of the most honored Motocross and Supercross athletes of all time. He made a name for himself in the 1980s as one of the great racers of all time and his record speaks for itself: 61 AMA national wins, seven of which were national championships.

A milestone in the emerging development of the virbrant spec truck racing class, SuperLite Championship will launch the SuperLite Off Road Racing School on July 14, featuring legendary racer Ricky Johnson as race instructor at its purpose-built short course off-road racing facility in Reno, Nevada.

This tribute just sums it all up. From the music to the imagery that outlines the life of the man we came to know as The Action Sports Freight Train , from birth to the big wave surfing with Sunny Garcia to the backflips with his Metal Mulisha family and into the seat of his General Tire SuperLite, the guy we knew as Ox simply kicked ass at living life, and Metal Mulisha captured the essence of why the world was better place because of it.

Wyatt Kirchner stepped up from the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Modified Kart ranks and into the hot seat of a SuperLite truck in late 2010, going full time for the 2011 as one of the youngest series drivers and managing to maintain formidable rankings in the series points chase.

A lifelong enthusiast of off-road motorsports, Marty Fiolka raced his first Baja 1000 in 1992 and recently completed his 10th race. A graduate of University of California at Long Beach, he formed the Rennsport Marketing Group in 1995 and executed public relations programs for Nissan, Infiniti, Exxon, Mitsubishi, and SCORE International. In 2005, Fiolka authored “1000 Miles to Glory: The History of the Baja 1000,” and was the associate producer of Dust to Glory, a Baja documentary.

The SuperLite Championship has become a magnet for extreme sports junkies and action sports addicts. Add to that the huge interest the Metal Mulisha Family has had in the vibrant mosh pit of motorsports, and it's no wonder why an action sports freight train, Jeff “OX” Kargola, has lured in huge sponsors such as General Tire and Lost Energy Drink to take the plunge into the hardcore, high-flying, wheel-to-wheel action of the SuperLite Arrive & Drive program. While not smashing on the throttle of a SuperLite truck, you can catch Ox engaged in gnarly back flips at the X Games or charging hard toward a podium at such races as the legendary Baja 1000.

Horsepower was virtually a birthright for Dawson Kirchner. With drag racers on both sides of the family tree and a stepfather who has dominated off-road racing, it was only a question of which vehicle’s throttle 17-year-old Dawson would be pegging, and what surface would accommodate his need for speed. After learning to race on go-karts, and a stint in motocross racing, Dawson has found a home in the cockpit of a SuperLite truck, as one of the emerging young stars of Speed Technologies on the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series.

John Harrah is a fierce competitor. Whether he's racing horses, speed boats, snowmobiles or behind the wheel of an off-road race vehicle, taking on the legendary Baja 1000, Harrah has done it and won it. Same goes for the SuperLite Championship series. Harrah clinched the 2009 point championship in inaugural Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Chuck Dempsey has commanded some of the most prestigious victories in off-road racing history. His resume on the throttle and in the management slot has earned an earnest array of championships. He has won in trucks and buggies. He has triumphed aboard underdog privateer teams and on behalf of factory motorcycle teams.

Chad Leising racked up a SuperLite Championship victory during the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 9 race at the .99-mile Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, Arizona on October 18, 2009. With his win, Leising ended the two-race win streak of Ricky James, who finished second, piloting the SoCal SuperTrucks machine. Dawson Kirchner drove his Speed Technologies truck to a third, while teammate Chuck Dempsey earned the fast lap of the race with an elapsed time of 54.485 seconds and speed of 65.412 miles per hour, finishing fourth for his race day in the dirt.

Ricky James, on a three-race win streak in as many race as he's entered in his SuperLite career, raced the SoCal SuperTrucks machine to a SuperLite Championship victory during the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 9 race at the .99-mile Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, Arizona on October 17, 2009. Once again, James earned the fast lap of the race for the second time in a row with an elapsed time of 1 minute, 00.776 seconds and speed of 58.642 miles per hour. James dominated the race, delivering the win with over an 11-second gap over the competition. Dawson Kirchner captured second in his Speed Technologies race truck. Speed Technologies teammate and Baja 1000 champion, Chuck Dempsey, landed onto the third slot for his podium performance.
