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.

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.

One of the ultimate live fast and go fast guys amid the extreme sports lifestyle, SuperLite Championship driver Jeff "Ox" Kargola, crossed the Mexican border on his quest to conquer the annual Rip To The Tip with Cameraon Steele and the Desert Assassins family. Unfortunately, on day two of the rigorous dirt bike jaunt down south of the border, heading toward San Felipe, Ox crashed his motorcycle in a high speed whoop section and was flown to a San Felipe hospital, according to a late morning day two report from the Rip To The Tip website.

RENO, NV — Drivers, fans and sponsors know that the high-flying jumps, white-knuckled corners and fight-to-the-finish dirt track action of SuperLite racing was made for primetime national television — and through a new partnership with the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series fans will be able to get a front row seat to SuperLite racing through  CBS and SPEED TV.

Jeff "Ox" Kargola is an action sports freight train. Last weekend, down south in Baja, the Metal Mulisha athlete secured his second consecutive Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 overall motorcycle victory. This weekend, he ain't slowing down. He's throwing down, going all out, pulling double duty, racing his General Tire SuperLite at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series season opener at Firebird Raceway.

Known for his professional feats of orchestrated mayhem behind the handlebars, Jeff "Ox" Kargola jumped behind the wheel of the General Tire / Lost Enterprises SuperLite Championship Arrive & Drive truck midway through the 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series season and immediately staked his claim upon the podium in the first four-wheel off-road race of his life, earning him a third during his debut at Glen Helen Raceway. The iconic Metal Mulisha freestyle motocross maven is relentless in his pursuit of victory. And during a formidable fight to finish first during the recent LOORRS Round 14 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ox spun out just over the blind side of a jump and was struck by another truck, taking him out of the race.

SuperLite Championship drivers Ricky James and Chad George are taking their high stakes SuperLite Championship game to this evening's SoCal SuperTrucks 1st Annual Open House in San Bernardino, California. The event, which will serve as the pre-party for this weekend's Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series (LOORRS) short course off-road race at Glen Helen Motorsports Park, will feature a multitude of giveaways and special guests, including a live broadcast of the Totally Off Road Radio Show (TORR Show), featuring the latest addition to the SuperLite Championship Arrive & Drive program and special cohost, Jeff Ox Karola.

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.

He's known as "The General." Ditching the high school jock life for a life behind the handlebars, the Metal Mulisha founder foisted onto the pro Supercross scene, taking the 125cc main event win back in 1997 at the LA Coliseum. It was no ordinary victory. Brian Deegan ghost rode his bike across the finish line. And freestyle motocross (FMX) was born. In his quest to conquer and deliver world domination, Deegan has faced death three times, once losing a kidney and severely injuring his spleen filming MTV's Viva La Bam. In his quest, he's toppled numerous firsts and earned over 10 X-Games medals, countless hard core accolades and a world of followers of the Metal Mulisha lifestyle.

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.

Ricky James jumped into the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) Round 5 and Round 6 weekend by earning the top slot in Friday's practice at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada. Charging hard to rival the competition by over two seconds in qualifying time, James piloted his SoCal Super Trucks machine to fast lap in lap three, touting an average speed of 51.064 miles per hour and a time of 1 minute, 17 seconds upon the 1.1 mile off-road race course.

Where else would the Metal Mulisha General perform pre-race testing on a brand new SuperLite race truck than his own backyard.

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.

It's been in the works for a few months. The guy just wanted to rage from within a cage. The action sports superstar is accustomed to going it behind the handlebars and performing all sorts of feats. And no doubt the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series suits the his fast action style. SuperLite delivered.
