Lovell Brothers Prepare for 2008
Feb 1, 2008 - Lovell Racing is back and stronger than ever for the 2008 season. The brothers have been working feverishly to prepare the growing team for another banner year.
“We have tremendous support for 2008 which gives us the time, technology, and parts we need to go win,” comments team co-owner Brad Lovell, “We are extremely proud to announce a comprehensive two-year agreement with Fabtech Motorsports.” The partnership allows the brothers to re-formulate the team. It will also create visible change. Roger Lovell will campaign a “Dirltogic Shocks” branded Ranger in XRRA races and the pair has recently purchased a 44’ race trailer capable of proper pit support. “We would also like to welcome back our other major supporters - BFGoodrich Tires, Ford Motor Company, AMSOIL, Art Carr Performance Products, and Alloy USA. Additionally, K&N Engineering has devoted some fantastic resources to our team for 2008. We can not thank ALL our supporters enough and intend to prove how dominant this combination can be.”
Lovell Racing has been preparing for this growth for months and is only days away from completing a new Fabtech Ranger for Brad to pilot. It features the most technologically advanced parts and has been completely designed and fabricated by the team. “We have dreamed of this opportunity,” adds Roger, “Every piece is the best we could find – Spidertrax axle housing and chassis components, a new breed of Dirtlogic racing shocks from Fabtech, and everything designed in house. There are a lot of great companies behind this project and the truck should speak for itself.”
The season starts quickly as the team will travel to California for the inaugural King of the Hammers 50 mile Rock Race. Lovell Racing will field two trucks for this massive race. The new Fabtech Ranger will debut with Brad behind the wheel and Roger co-driving. ESPN commentator, SCORE Trophy truck driver, and off-road spokesman Cameron Steele will pilot the second Ranger with JeepSpeed driver Eric Filar in the co-driver seat. Brad explains, “We are excited to bring some new faces to the team for this event. Cameron and Eric are both very skilled and we are anxious to see how they perform in the rocks.” The team will have extensive support during the race from the crew behind winning CORR driver Rick Huseman’s Pro-4 effort. “We have put a lot of focus on this first race and have everything in place to win. All we need to do now is drive fast!” Live coverage of this event will be available on Pirate4x4.com. Pre-race coverage will occur Thursday and race starts around 9:00 am Friday, February 22, 2008.
