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.

To commemorate the life of action sports star and SuperLite Championship racer Jeff "Ox" Kargola, who died last month while riding the Rip To The Tip adventure motorcycle ride in Baja, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, in conjunction with General Tire, the title sponsor of Kargola's SuperLite truck, will launch its two-day race weekend at Glen Helen Raceway with a special opening ceremony to begin at 2 p.m this Saturday. The SuperLite Championship Round 5 main event will immediately follow the tribute.

CJ Greaves continues to add to his list of accomplishments in his young racing career by receiving Dirt Sports Magazine's 2010 Rookie of the Year Award. CJ was presented the award on February 5, 2011, in the Monster Energy pavilion at the Anaheim Supercross in front of a host of sponsors, dignitaries, and other invited guest for the event. CJ was selected from drivers in the entire off-road motorsports industry. Greaves received a specially engraved Oakley watch, a pair of custom designed Oakley/Dirt Sports sunglasses, an embroidered Oakley jacket, a glass plaque, and several other honorariums from Traxxas and other sponsors.

Building into a powerful motorsports crescendo, the 2010 SuperLite Championship Series funneled down into the finale at the Firebird International Raceway for the season-ending Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series showdown. It was decision day in the dirt. And with an army of world class extreme sports competitors vying for the coveted SuperLite Championship No. 1 plate, a scant 50 points separating the top five, a battle ensued upon the motocross style off-road truck track, and from the mayhem of the competition mosh pit, Rockstar Metal Mulisha’s Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg emerged to snatch the championship, beating out some of the best in the business.

C.J. Greaves is an emerging Monster Energy-backed athlete who stems from one of most winning short course off-road racers of all time, Johnny Greaves. Because of this, there's no wonder why the momentum he's gained in such a short amount of time has landed him onto the podium in the TORC Series Super Buggy class as well behind the wheel of his very own Monster Energy / Traxxas SuperLite Championship truck , logging a hard-fought victory at Miller's Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah amidst the best in the off-road racing business.

The thrash-style driving that exemplifies the pro-packed echelon of SuperLite Championship Arrive & Drive drivers kicked up the ante when $10,000 was tossed into the competition pit for Friday evening's SuperLite Grill N' Thrill Challenge race. The Metal Mulisha General, Brian Deegan, gave the order and as the door-to-door action funneled into the last lap for the checkered flag, his hard core freestyle motocross star Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg broke loose of the pack in his Metal Mulisha / Rockstar Energy Drink truck and piled the cash atop the podium.

Freestyle motocross superstar Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg stood on the throttle to take the top slot during Friday's second SuperLite Championship practice session for the 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 7 and 8 at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Twitch piloted the No. 88 Metal Mulisha / Rockstar Energy Drink SuperLite Championship Truck around the 1.1-mile off-road race course in one minute and 16 seconds with a speed of 51.436 miles per hour.
