Chandler, AZ (7/6/2010) - Weller
Racing continued its podium domination for rounds
seven and eight of the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series
(www.lucasoiloffroad.com),
which was held for the first time at Miller Motorsports
Park in Tooele, UT. Nevada, California, Utah and
Arizona short course fans came out in droves to
see the first race of this type ever to be held
at the multi-million dollar race facility.
Weller Racing’s Unlimited UTV driver Austin
Kimbrell swept the podium both days, taking solid
wins over fierce competitors such as Funco’s
Chad George and Walker Evans’ RJ Anderson,
putting himself in the points lead for the first
time this season. After a few rounds of bad luck
early in the year, Kimbrell has climbed to the
top of the points ladder and is now perched for
a championship run in 2010.
“We were happy with the way Austin’s
motor ran in Utah,” said Jason Weller, owner
of Weller Racing. “Austin drove a great
race both days, and his performance each round
only makes us that much more eager to continue
developing his motor and doing what we can to
help keep him in front of the pack.”
Continuing Weller Racing’s podium dominance
in the SR1 class, and running fast on a tight
and very technical track, Weller Racing’s
LSR driver Greg Frantz took his first win of the
series during Round 7 on Saturday, while Weller
Racing’s own Tilted Kilt/MagnaFlow/Walker
Evans driver Corry Weller took her third win of
the year during Round 8 on Sunday. Sporting her
new LSR suspension after partnering up with Lone
Star Racing for the remainder of the season, Corry
ran a conservative but effective race on Sunday
after suffering some serious damage to her SR1
during Saturday’s main event.
“We had some bad luck on Saturday, and
even though we got everything fixed for Sunday’s
race, I was still a little hesitant to throw my
SR1 around the track at 100%” stated Weller.
“I wanted to push hard enough to win it,
but was also careful not to take any unnecessary
risks on such a tough track…..this is a
points race, and I have to be sure I race smart
and keep that championship in sight at all times.”
Not only did Weller Racing have a successful
weekend on the podium, but they were also invited
to pit under the MagnaFlow canopy for the entire
event in Utah.
“MagnaFlow has been a great sponsor this
season, and of course we were more than happy
to accept their generous offer to pit with them
for these last two rounds.” said Jason.
“The exposure was fantastic, for our company
as well as for the rest of our sponsors, and Corry
got a chance to sign a ton of autographs and meet
a lot of race fans. We’d like to say a huge
thank-you to MagnaFlow for their hospitality!”
Weller Racing drivers have a little time off
until the next round, which will be held on a
brand new track at Glen Helen Raceway in Devore,
CA on the weekend of August 6-8th. With the series
now half over, every point will count for the
top drivers in each class, as the points race
for Unlimited and SR1 UTVs really begins to heat
up!
