Kimbrell Racing

We are tackling the 2012 season head on, focused on the Pro Lite Unlimited category. The Pro Lite has had a major overhaul, with a serious upgrade from a 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder V8 automatic transmission.  We think this gives us one of the top off road trucks out there, and plan on finishing every race with very few mechanical problems.

Couple that with another successful year of experience under Austin's belt, we believe this is going to be a powerhouse season for Austin Kimbrell and Kimbrell Racing.  As mentioned in previous posts, Austin and the Kimbrell Racing team are working hard to be ready, with now just a little over a month to go before opening rounds 1 and 2 at Firebird International Raceway       ( @FirebirdRaceway ) on March 31st and April 1st.  You can get more info on our website at www.kimbrellracing.com.  Of course, we sure hope you can make it!

We are so very excited about the 2012 race season!  We kick off the season on March 31st and April 1st on our home turf at Firebird Internatinal Raceway, one of the finest off road truck racing courses to compete on in the country.  For us, the stands are filled with our fans, friends, and family, so we have great support and want to be at the top of our game for everyone who turns out to support us.

As we mentioned in a previous blog, we are swapping out the engines to minimize the mechanical difficulties of last season, making sure we have the top off road trucks out on the course.  Our team continues to work hard behind the scenes to get us ready to get out in front and stay out in front race after race, and Austin can hardly wait to get behind the wheel.

As we move closer to the race, we will be running some great contests on Facebook for great Kimbrell off road gear, tickets to the off road madness, and pit passes, etc.  Be sure you are staying on our fan page, so CLICK HERE to stay plugged in.  As always, don't forget to check out the website, as we keep the updated schedule on it at www.kimbrellracing.com.   And... if you haven't checked out all of the videos we have uploaded on YouTube from last season, be sure to go check out the Kimbrell Racing channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/kimbrellracing.

You absolutely do not want to miss the excitement of the first race weekend of 2012!  The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series kicks off with Rounds 1 and 2 on March 31st and April 1st at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, AZ.  We sure hope you can join us!  If you don't live close, be sure to check our racing schedule on the website in hopes you can join us for a different race.

We are planning on coming out strong, with changes to the engines and another great year of experience under Austin's belt.  This is going to be a great season, and of course our fans and sponsors are key to our success, and we are very grateful for the support! 

If you have not already done so, please join us on Facebook and Twitter as we get ready to run pre-race contests.  You can also watch our 2011 races on our YouTube channel if you have not checked them out yet.  Hope to see you at the racetrack!

Final results are in for the 2011 Lucas Off Road Racing Series.  We are extremely proud of Austin in his first year of racing in the Super Lite category, as he finished in fourth place in total points, despite all of the truck troubles in the beginning of the season that took him out of races.  In the Pro Lite Unlimited, Austin finished 11th and again, we are very pleased given the mechanical difficulties we experienced early on.   As you know, Austin ended the season with a strong first place win in the final championship round in the Super Lite.

We are very excited about the 2012 season, and are focused on coming out strong.  We believe in Austin, he is an aggressive driver with a winner's attitude with another year of experience under his belt.  To solve our mechanical problems and give Austin his best shot at the podium, we are swapping out from a 4 cylinder to an 8 cylinder V8 automatic transmission to enable us to finish more races right out in front!  

We sure hope you can make it to one of the off road courses this season and join us for a race or two!   You can find the 2012 schedule on our Kimbrell Racing website at: www.kimbrellracing.com/schedule.   If you have not joined us on Facebook, we invite you to do so by clicking here.  As always, thanks for all you do to support Kimbrell Racing, you are appreciated more than you know!

If you saw the last rounds of the season of the season, Round 15 Challenge Cup, you will understand how optimistic we are for our 2012 season.  Austin took 1st in the Super Lite in Round 14 and 3rd in Round 15.  This past year as a rookie in both the Pro Lite and Super Lite, Austin has been aggressive, fearless, and always gunning for top spot. We are looking for even stronger performances in 2012.
