Wins Fourth Consecutive LOORS UTV Championship

Irvine, CA (12/20/2010) - Monster
Energy/ Funco/ Kawasaki’s Chad George ended
his championship season on top with his fourth victory
of the year at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
finale at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, Ariz. George
fought all season with Monster Energy Kawasaki’s
Austin Kimbrell, who finished second in the championship
standings. In all, the Kawasaki Teryx® won all
but two races in the 15 race series, with multiple
riders taking victories.
Another Championship
With his experience leading the way, George went
into the final round of the season confident he
could bring home his fourth title. After a decent
qualifying session, George proved he was a worthy
champion as he earned his fourth win of the season.
“The feeling of winning a championship
never gets old like some people might think,”
said George. “This year was the hardest
I had ever worked to get a championship, which
makes it much sweeter. Our team definitely fought
back from a lot of ups and downs and I think in
the end, our experience showed. We didn’t
panic when we weren’t first. The team has
been amazing and being able to give back to Kawasaki
really feels good.”

Kimbrell Placed 2nd at Firebird Raceway |
Very Close
Although he didn’t win the championship,
Kimbrell still finished the year better than ever
before. With all the knowledge gained this year
combined with his obvious talent, Kimbrell already
has his sights set on the championship in 2011.
“My weekend wasn’t great, but overall
we learned a lot,” said Kimbrell. “Every
year is a learning experience and I’m ready
to get back to work. We will hopefully be able
to do more testing in the off-season which will
help us from chasing a set-up during the race
weekend. I had fun this year and it makes me excited
for the 2011 season to start.”
Teryx Winners
The powerful Kawasaki Teryx was proven to be the
RUV to beat on the LOORRS circuit. The machine
won 13 races with Kimbrell taking five victories,
George with four, John Dempsey with two, and Robert
VanBeekum with two as well.
“In the three short years that Kawasaki
has been involved with short course racing, we’ve
proven the Kawasaki platform not only with three
championships in a row, but by changing the field.
It once was a small percentage and now is the
majority of the field. Kawasaki is proud of every
single one our racers.”
