From spalind on Carl Renezeder

Hadn't seen this elsewhere but then again I'm far from a short course expert or insider...Nissan announced its 2012 motorsports program and yup, there is Chad Hord, Casey Currie and Brad Lovell on the list...but what is this?? Carl back with Nissan for both his Pro4 and Pro2? Goodness gracious...time for me to go celebrate with a pint or two...

Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg Joins Jeremy McGrath on Team Toyo® Off-Road in 2012

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. announced today Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg and Jeremy McGrath will both compete in the Pro2 Unlimited class of the Lucas Oil® Off Road Racing Series on Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires. This action-packed short-course off-road racing series features large fields of entrants in high-horsepower machines, all fighting for the top spot on the podium. Both drivers are members of the powerful Stronghold Motorsports off-road racing team.

Last year seven-time AMA Supercross Champion, Jeremy McGrath, captured his first win in Pro 2 Unlimited in front of a packed stadium at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He also captured six podium finishes, one being third overall in the big money finale, the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup, Pro 2 vs. Pro 4. With his 2011 successes, look for McGrath to be a strong contender for the Pro 2 Unlimited championship in 2012 with his 900-horsepower #2 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires® Ford F-150.

Joining McGrath and Team Toyo Off-Road is Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg with his Toyo Tires / Stronghold Motorsports Ford F-150. The hard-charging Stenberg is a 10-time X-Games medalist in Freestyle Moto-X and won the 2010 SuperLite truck class championship in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

“I’m pumped to be joining my teammate Jeremy McGrath on Team Toyo. Toyo Tires has established itself as a leader in short course off road racing with the Open Country M/T race tire,” said Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg. “My Stronghold Motorsports Pro2 is dialed in and with my Toyo Tires putting that horsepower to the ground we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with.”

“We are excited to have both Jeremy ‘Twitch’ Stenberg and Jeremy McGrath as members of Team Toyo Off-Road in 2012,” said Amy Coleman, senior director of marketing, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “Both are highly competitive and have a huge base of fans. They will both be great representatives of our Toyo Tires philosophy… Driven to Perform.”

The 16-race Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series begins March 31, 2012 at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona. Races will be broadcast on CBS Sports, NBC Sports Network, SPEED Channel and MavTV. Log on to www.lucasoiloffroad.com for both race and programming schedules.

Rodrigo Ampudia Joins Team Toyo® Off-Road in 2012

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. announced today that Pro2 Unlimited class driver Rodrigo Ampudia, has joined Team Toyo® Off-Road for the 2012 race season. Competing in the Lucas Oil® Off Road Racing Series, Ampudia will pilot his 900-horsepower #36 Papas and Beer / Lucas Oil / Toyo Tires® Ford Raptor on Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires. The high-energy Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series draws huge crowds and is broadcast on television through major networks and cable.

Ampudia, now a resident of San Diego, California; has many accomplishments to his name. During his 2006 rookie season in short course off-road racing, Ampudia was the first international driver to win a Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR™) series race. He also won the CORR World Championship race in Crandon, Wisconsin during that same year. Ampudia then capped it off by winning the 2006 CORR Series Pro-Lite™ class championship. When he made the transition to Pro 2 class trucks, he qualified first in his rookie year.

"From my earliest days behind the wheel, I learned the absolute necessity of running tires I can trust. Our new partnership with Toyo Tires gives RA Motorsports everything we need to pursue a championship title,” said Ampudia. “I am really excited to be a part of the Toyo Tires racing team as we share the same commitment for performance and innovation. Toyo is synonymous with quality in the world of Off Road Racing carrying an amazing reputation worldwide."

“We are thrilled to announce the addition of Rodrigo Ampudia to our impressive team of short course racers,” said Amy Coleman, senior director of marketing, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “Rodrigo is a championship driver who will help demonstrate the winning capabilities of our Open Country M/T-R tires. He also expands our marketing reach, exposing the Toyo Tires brand to new fans both in the United States and Mexico.”

Ampudia completes Team Toyo Off-Road’s Lucas Oil Series super team which includes Kyle LeDuc, Jeremy McGrath and Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg.
