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.

As we geared up for the 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 13 and 14 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, we were busy behind the scenes working with our friends at the 3D television channel, Wealth TV, which produced an indepth feature on the SuperLite Championship Arrive & Drive program for its Wealth On Wheels segment. The segment, hosted by Josh Middleton, who hops behind the wheel of a SuperLite, delves into the history of thriving truck racing operation and delivers a behind-the-scenes look into the lives and lifestyles of the racers and race organization.

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.

While riding with friends and family just north of San Felipe, Baja California last Friday for the annual Desert Assassins Rip To The Tip adventure ride, SuperLite Championship driver, Jeff "Ox" Kargola of the No. 2 General Tire truck, died at a San Felipe hospital after succumbing to injuries sustained during a dirt bike crash on a high speed whoop section. “Words can’t express the emotions I am feeling," said Desert Assassins boss and former SuperLite Championship driver Cameron Steele. "I love Jeff like a son, and he was riding with all of his best friends he grew up with in San Clemente.”

Starting deep in the pack for the final Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series race of the 2010 season and trading paint with drivers who were waging all they had to earn the SuperLite Championship Series crown, but Kyle LeDuc managed to muscle his SoCal SuperTrucks / Rockwell Time truck through the mayhem, foisting his way toward the front. And shortly after the competition yellow unleashed the army of MazdaSpeed Rotary Renesis 13B machines, LeDuc launched into the lead and landed atop the podium.

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.

They call him "Twitch." They guy is a powerhouse of extreme sports, killing it big behind the handlebars, making him the envy of freestyle motocross (FMX) competitors and the idol to action sports junkies the world over. A key component to the Metal Mulisha Family, Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg earned his nickname from a condition he was diagnosed with at the age of eight, Tourette Syndrome, which you may have seen highlighted during his recent appearance on MTV's True Life. That ain't never slowed him down. And now, amidst taking home X Games Medals and his weekend gig with Nuclear Cowboyz, Twitch is mobbing behind the wheel of his famed Rockstar / Metal Mulisha SuperLite Championship Arrive & Drive truck.

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.

Last year was the “General” Brian Deegan’s year of domination taking home the Unlimited Lites Off Road Championship. Proving that Off-Road Racing isn’t just another hobby, Deegan’s back again this year to kick off the season with a new and improved race team and the same winning attitude at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Rounds 1 & 2 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.
