Corona, Calif. - - (August 26, 2010) Jeremy McGrath, the eight-time AMA Supercross champion and the man credited with beginning the extreme style of exhibition motorcycle riding, was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (www.mshf.com) last night during a gala black tie ceremony that was attended by many of racing’s stars.

McGrath was part of the all-star class of 2010 inductees which included motoring greats Joie Chitwood, Alan Kulwiki, Rich Vogler, Jerry Titus, and Dale Armstrong.  Veteran announcer Ken Squire was also honored for his lifelong work behind the microphone.  

McGrath thus joins a sensational list of two-wheel racing champions that includes Jeff Ward, Bob Hannah, Jay Springsteen, Roger DeCoster, Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Gary Nixon and others.

McGrath is currently listed 19th in points in both the Pro4 Unlimited and Pro2 Unlimited divisions of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.  The “LOORRS” (as it is sometime called) is a series of 16 closed/short course stadium-style off-road races held on specially designed and constructed tracks in the western United States.  The series is presented and promoted by Lucas Oil and its Team Lucas affiliated sponsors and has six races left on this year’s schedule.
The next set of races in the Lucas Oil series will be held on the very technical 1.1-mile course at Speedworld Motorsports Park located just outside of Phoenix in Surprise, Arizona on September 25 and 26.  From there it’s on to Las Vegas and the challenging short course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on November 5 and 6, with the final two races set for a completely new track on December 11-12 at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix.   Each of the Lucas Oil weekend family-friendly events features two full days of competition with championship points-paying races on each day for all divisions.

The Lucas Off Road Racing Series is the evolution of the long standing support of short course racing by Forrest Lucas and Lucas Oil. Steeped in the Midwest tradition of short course off road racing infused with a West Coast influence, Lucas Oil Off Road Racing brings intense four wheel door to door action to challenging, fan friendly tracks. 

An all-star group of participating sponsors also back the Lucas Oil events. Known collectively as Team Lucas it includes: GEICO Power Sports, Rockstar Energy Drink, E3 Spark Plugs, General Tire, MAV TV, Toyota, CANIDAE All-Natural Pet Foods, and Magnaflow Exhaust, and, exactly like all of the above competitors, all are top-rated companies in their respective fields.

Television will play a big role in the expanding universe of this new and exciting Lucas Oil series with starting with 3 hours on CBS, more than 30 hours on-air with SPEED; 7 Hours on Versus; 20 hours on MAV TV.
