Description
The final day of racing for the inaugural season of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series presented by Geico Powersports was one that fans will never forget. The Rockstar Energy Lucas Oil Challenge Cup was the stage for the largest purse in short course off-road racing history, and drivers took to the track in four races to try and snag their share of the $181,000 in prize money. For this final racing day of the season, the Super Lites and Limited Buggies would have their own separate races, while the other two races would be held in a unique, once-a-year shootout format. The first of these races would, for the first time ever, pit the Unlimited Lite trucks against the Unlimited Buggies, while the second would be the ever-popular Unlimited 2 vs. Unlimited 4 race that has become a highly anticipated annual showdown in the short course world. Many must have wondered whether the races could possibly live up to the hype, but all those who saw the action headed home with memories of some of the greatest racing in short course history.
Super Lite
The Bully Dog Super Lite class was the first out on track, and a strong field featuring short course veterans Rob Naughton and Todd LeDuc, series rising stars Ricky James, Chad George, and Chad Leising, class champion John Harrah, and freestyle motorcycle superstar Jeremy Twitch Stenberg, made this the best Super Lite race all season. Stenberg and George started on the front row, but it was James in his #24 SoCal Super Trucks/Icon Vehicle Dynamics machine who jumped out to the early lead, followed by Stenberg in the #88 Rockstar/Metal Mulisha truck, Leising in the #17 mav tv/Hart and Huntington truck, George in the Independent/Funco Motorsports #42, and LeDuc in the Granatelli Motor Sports/Verve! #40. Behind the leaders, Brandon Ward had a huge crash that saw him roll over the outside burm of turn four, which led to a red flag and complete re-start of the race. Ward was ok but out of the race, and once racing action resumed, James again surged into the lead, ahead of George, Stenberg, Naughton in the #72 Lamb Energy/ProAm machine, and Leising. James, George, and Stenberg then got stacked up in turn three, which allowed for some substantial re-shuffling of the running order. Stenberg was now leading, with Naughton, Leising, James, and LeDuc in hot pursuit. Naughton was putting the pressure on Stenberg, and soared over the two big table top jumps on the back straight and into the lead. Leising tried the same move on the following lap, but with much less success. Air got under Leisings truck, lifted him out of control, and sent him careening into the infield and out of the race. Leising was alright, but his truck was rendered undriveable.
Racing continued, and up front, Naughton was now stretching out a small lead over the competition. Behind him, George was charging through the field after his earlier tangle with James and Stenberg, and as the competition yellow came out, George ran in second behind Naughton. LeDuc was third, James fourth, and Harrah fifth in the #1 Speed Technologies truck. As the green came out again, LeDuc pulled off the track and out of the race, while Naughton and George pulled away in a race of their own for the lead. George was giving it all he had to try and catch his vastly more experienced rival Naughton, but Naughton was simply too strong, as he went on to take the win and claim the $20,000 first place prize. George had his best run since joining the Super Lite ranks earlier this season, picking up $10,000 and a second place finish. Rounding out the podium was young Dawson Kirchner in the #16 NOS Energy/Troy Lee Designs machine, who took home $5,000. Fourth went to Joey Granatelli in the #20 Granatelli Motor Sports/Red Line Synthetic Oil truck, and fifth went to class champion Harrah.

Unlimited 2 vs. Unlimited 4
With a single Unlimited 2 and Unlimited 4 combined LCQ race and the Promoters Choice picks still up for grabs, many U2 and U4 drivers had to try and make a last ditch effort to get into this afternoons final race of the day. In the end, U2s Dan Vandenheuvel, Justin Davis, Nick Tyree, Gerardo Iribe, Evan Evans, and Jeff Geiser joined the top ten U2 Friday qualifiers in the main event. From U4, Travis Coyne, Ed Herbst, Chris Brandt, and Jerry Daugherty also joined the top eight Friday U4 qualifiers, and a field of 28 trucks took to the track in pursuit of $105,000 available prize money.
With the U2s starting in front of the U4s, it was #54 Rob Naughton in the Stronghold Motorsports/Team Associated Ford and Todd LeDuc in the #8 Makita/Kal Gard Ford on the front row. Todd LeDuc (U2) took the lead on the first lap, followed by Rob MacCachren (U2) in the #21 Rockstar/Mastercraft Safety Ford, Bryce Menzies (U2) in the #7 Super Clean/ONeill Ford, Naughton (U2), and Rodrigo Ampudia (U2) in the #36 Lucas Oil/BFGoodrich Ford. Curt LeDuc was the first Unlimited 4, running eighth in his #43 Makita/Toyo Tires Ford, with Adrian Cenni (U4) tenth and Steve Barlow (U4) eleventh in the #2 Red Bull/Bosch Ford. The top five held their places for the next four laps, but by lap six, Carl Renezeder was the first U4 to crack into the top five in his #1 Lucas Oil/General Tires Ford. Up front it was still Todd LeDuc, MacCachren, and Menzies, with Renezeder (U4) fourth and Ampudia fifth. Cenni was sixth in his #11 Atrium Staffing Services/Mechanix Wear Chevrolet, and Curt LeDuc (U4) was the third U4, running eighth.
By the time the competition yellow came out, Todd LeDuc was still leading, and MacCachren had just managed to cross the start-finish line ahead of Renezeder to hold second. Menzies was fourth, Cenni fifth, Ampudia sixth, and Curt LeDuc seventh. When racing action resumed, Renezeder made quick work of MacCachren to take over second spot, and it was now up to Todd LeDuc as the only U2 left in front to try and hold off Renezeder for the last six laps. For nearly two laps, LeDuc did a remarkable job, but with the addition of two more tires digging for traction, Renezeders ability to use all lines on the track was too much for LeDuc, and Renezeder moved into the lead coming out of turn three on lap 12. LeDuc tried valiantly to hang on and challenge Renezeder, but it was not to be, as Renezeder pulled away fairly quickly. Behind these two, it was MacCachren third, Menzies fourth, and with Cenni now out, Ampudia fifth, Curt LeDuc sixth and Tim Herbst (U4) seventh in the #18 Terrible Herbst Chevrolet. On the final lap, the pressure from MacCachren mustve finally gotten to Todd LeDuc, as LeDuc dug into a rut and rolled over. Up front, Renezeder was well clear of the field as he crossed the line in first, taking home $30,000 as the first U4 finisher. MacCachren was second overall, and also got $30,000 as the first U2 finisher. Third in the race was Menzies, who got $15,000 for his second place in U2. Ampudia was fourth overall, third in U2, and took home $7,500. Fifth overall, second in U4 was Curt LeDuc, who got $15,000, while Tim Herbst took sixth overall, third in U4, and $7,500. In all, just 14 of the 28 starters made it all 16 laps, with seven finishers from each of the two classes.
