The 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is off to a great start, with a Round 1 first place finish in the Pro Lite division by Kimbrell Racing's driver, Austin Kimbrell. In Round 2, Austin aggressively manuevered from an 8th place starting position to 3rd place by halfway through the race when he was spun out by another truck. Despite the spin out, Austin battled back and finished with fourth place. This video captures the excitement of Rounds 1 and 2, complete with some interview footage of Austin explaining why the 2012 race season is going to be a great one for the Kimbrell Racing team.
A message from Austin Kimbrell on this past opening weekend of the 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series -
"What a crazy weekend!! I couldn't ask for anything more!! We built a brand new Pro Lite and it come out of the box perfect!!!! Got the big 1st place on Saturday and was running 3rd on Sunday then got taken out, but worked my way back up to 4th to finish so can't complain! Thank you every one who was out there and also helped! Kimbrell Racing, XMF, and Toyo Tires -couldn't do it without you guys!!!! Looks like we will be fighting for a championship this year... look out!!
We are in the final week of preparations for the opening weekend of the 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Season! There is a great deal of work to do yet to get the truck and all of the off road gear in top notch condition, but we are excited and ready to launch into this new season.
A beefed up Pro-Lite truck with an 8 cylinder V8 transmission should keep our truck out in front and allow Austin to finish strong without mechanical difficulties. Our team is working hard to give him every advantage we can. With another year of driving under his belt, Austin will be in great shape to be on the podium every time.
We sure hope you can make it to the opening weekend March 30 and April 1st out at Firebird Raceway - it makes all the difference when our fans are in the stands! Also, a special shout out once again to our sponsor, Kimbrell Electric, a commercial electrical contractor business that has been serving businesses in Phoenix for over a decade.
It is only two weeks away! We are busy, busy, busy getting ready for opening weekend for the 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series! We will race one truck this season in the Pro Lite Unlimited division. We have really beefed the truck up to prevent mechanical failures and give Austin a great shot at the off road racing championship this season. Rounds 1 and 2 are at Firebird international Raceway on March 31st and April 1st, so we really hope you can make it out there!
We have one more pair of tickets to give away on Facebook for Round 2 on Sunday April 2, and that contest launches as soon as we hit 800 fans on our Facebook page, so be sure to swing by there, like our page, and register to win! Click here to go to our Facebook page!
A big thank you to Kimbrell Electric, our season sponsor, who faithfully provides the support for our racing team. Kimbrell Electric, our family owned commercial electrical company that serves the electrical contractor needs of Phoenix metro area businesses.
We are excited, looking forward to a great season, and sure hope you can come out to the races. Don't forget that you can get the entire 2012 racing schedule on our website - just click here. Thanks so much for your support, you guys make it all worthwhile!
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.

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!

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.

Congratulations to Austin - first place in the final round of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series in the Super Lite, and fifth place in the ProLite. Then, on Sunday for the Challenge Cup Off Road Racing Championship races, Austin had another strong third place podium finish in the Super Lite. The Pro Lite was definitely off road madness... Austin flipped TWICE in the Pro Lite but was able to get started both times and get back in the race, and then fought his way back into the race. WOW! Great driving on both days. Congratulations to Austin Kimbrell as the 2011 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series concludes with very strong performances from Austin.
