Season opener for TORC: The Off-Road Championship presented by AMSOIL
FORT WORTH, Texas (May 23, 2016) -- The high-flying action of short-course off road
truck racing brings the best drivers on dirt to The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway
May 27 and 28 for the season opening doubleheader of TORC: The Off-Road Championship
presented by AMSOIL.
"We're thrilled to return to the Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway for our season
opening races," said TORC Series director Ben Nelson. "We can't wait to bring our
fender-to-fender, no-holds barred action back to the amazing fans in the Lone Star
State."
This weekend's action takes place on a purpose built track at the Dirt Track at 
Texas Motor Speedway, which is transformed for TORC Series racing to include a huge
jump that will see trucks fly 130 feet through the air, a challenging 200-foot rhythm
section, and 12-degree banked turns. The series brings in some 550 truckloads of
 dirt and works for seven days to construct its specialized short course off-road
racing track.
AMSOIL driver Scott Douglas is back to battle for championship victory in the highlight
PRO 4WD category, while stars including Keegan Kincaid and Brad Lovell return to
 the series this season in PRO 2WD. The young guns of the hotly contested Atturo
 Tires PRO Light include Luke Johnson and Kyle Hart.
Full points races in all three top pro classes take place both Friday and Saturday
evening, with gates opening at 5 p.m. and starting ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. each 
night. Tickets start at $20 for adults and just $5 for kids. Entry to each race 
is offered at $10 for active and retired military personnel who present a valid 
military ID at the ticket window.
The season opener also marks the start of the series' expanded live digital event
coverage in 2016. All 13 rounds of the championship will be presented in HD this
 year, with 2.5 hours of live racing presented at every round on www.torcseries.com.
Full coverage begins this Friday and Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
Tape-delayed television programming of the TORC Series airs on FS2, with exciting
90-minute shows slated for Thursday nights in primetime beginning June 9.
