Corona, California (January 13, 2010) - Today, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series released a revised 2010 schedule featuring a brand new location and updated race dates. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway, host to a variety of top tier professional motorsports including NASCAR and NHRA Drag Racing, will be the site of races on May 22nd and 23rd and November 6th and 7th. These Las Vegas events will be held on a completely new and unique track to be built in a joint effort between the facility and Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series officials. The November date will also coincide with the annual SEMA show where the series has been invited to return with their large outdoor vehicle demonstration on the Toyota Proving Grounds.
"Everyone at Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been fantastic. We are excited to be working closely together building this track in an area of the facility that is completely dedicated to our short course off road racing series," said Lucas Oil Off Road Competition Director, Tony Vanillo. He continued, "This is an opportunity that brings the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series into metropolitan Las Vegas while also capitalizing on the outstanding response we receive from the SEMA show."
To accommodate this new location and dates, the series has made additional schedule changes. The April Speedworld event in Surprise, Arizona will now be held on the weekend of April 17th and 18th while the September race has been rescheduled for September 25th and 26th.
