Digging down into the nuts and bolts of his BFGoodrich Tires-backed Lowe's Home Improvement SuperLite Truck during August's Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) race at Glen Helen Raceway, Jessie Johnson looks to land back upon the podium during the Las Vegas Motor Speedway stop next month.

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.

Emerging from a family steeped in motorsports, Jessie Johnson is the younger brother of five-time NASCAR champion of the No. 48 Lowes Home Improvement car, Jimmie Johnson. Calm under pressure and climbing behind the wheel of his own Lowes Home Improvement SuperLite, Jessie, like his older brother, has his roots in off-road racing but has amassed experience that extends beyond the dirt. Perhaps his greatest asset is his coach-ability, learning from many, which results in wins.

SiriusXM action sports talk radio icon, Jason Ellis, will make a no-holds-barred appearance on the Totally Off Road Radio Show this evening with Jim Holthus and co-host Dave Arnold to discuss his SuperLite Championship effort behind the wheel of the Hart & Huntington-backed Dethrone Royalty Racing truck this season. The live talk radio show, which begins at 5 p.m. this evening on KCAA 1050 AM, will also feature NASCAR's Robby Gordon, who is staged to make his Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series debut this weekend at Glen Helen Raceway.

That's the man behind the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. What's Tony Vanillo up to? Well, we were wondering the very same thing. And we were shocked, honored and sincerely grateful to hear the latest addition to the LOORRS hardware stockpile and the thoughtfulness behind it. Tony commissioned a highly sophisticated podium to be built. Equipped with a wheel chair friendly ramp and hydraulic lifts for each of the three positions, LOORRS custom-built this one-of-a-kind podium with SoCal SuperTrucks SuperLite driver Ricky James in mind, who is no stranger to victory.

Corona, California – Today, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series released a revised 2010 schedule featuring a brand new location and updated race dates. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway, host to a variety of top tier professional motorsports including NASCAR and NHRA Drag Racing, will be the site of races on May 22nd and 23rd and November 6th and 7th. These Las Vegas events will be held on a completely new and unique track to be built in a joint effort between the facility and Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series officials. The November date will also coincide with the annual SEMA show where the series has been invited to return with their large outdoor vehicle demonstration on the Toyota Proving Grounds.
