Team Toyo’s LeDuc Brothers Sweep Lucas Oil Off Road Series Race Weekend in Lake Elsinore

LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA – Brothers Todd and Kyle LeDuc swept Rounds
7 & 8 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Series this past weekend in Lake
Elsinore, California while racing on 35X12.50R17 Toyo Open Country
M/T®-R tires. Piloting their 800+ horsepower Rockstar/Makita/Ford
Trucks/Toyo Tires F-150 trucks, the LeDuc brothers put on a driving
clinic by scoring back-to-back victories in their respective unlimited
truck classes while racing under the lights at the Lake Elsinore
Motorsports Complex.

Todd LeDuc dominated both days of the Unlimited 2 class by defeating
large fields. Starting in eighth for Saturday’s race due to an engine
problem during qualifying, LeDuc exercised patience while working his
way to the front. He struck on the last lap to take over the lead for
the win. On Sunday, a mid-race spin placed him in seventh, but he
clawed his way to the front once again for a repeat win.

“I received big compliments from the other drivers about how I could
pass on the inside lines on slick dirt where nobody else could,” said
Todd LeDuc. “My Toyo Open Country M/T-R tires allowed me to put my
truck wherever I wanted all weekend long.”

Kyle LeDuc displayed the same type of domination in the Unlimited 4
class. He was able to outpace the four-wheel-drive truck field for
back-to-back victories.

“Our team is excited to get back to the TORC series with what we have
learned this weekend,” said father/team principle, Curt LeDuc.
“Between our wins here at Lake Elsinore and in the TORC series, Team
LeDuc has captured 22-podiums already this year. We have had no
failures all season with our Toyo tires.”

“We congratulate both Todd and Kyle LeDuc on their outstanding sweep
of the Lake Elsinore race this past weekend,” said Stan Chen, manager
of events and motorsports, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “Team LeDuc
continues to be great representatives of Toyo Tires products,
demonstrating they can win with Open Country tires in all forms of
off-road competition.”

Mitch Dorr Race Report – TORC Oshkosh

Rockford, IL (July 27, 2009) Mitch Dorr was looking to recover from
the Round 4 wreck that took his #817 Fabricated Steel Products
Goodyear Tires Ford F-150 out of the race before he could clear the
first turn. Now with the front suspension repaired, Dorr Off-Road
Racing was ready to take the fight for the Stock Truck Championship to
the Oshkosh Speedzone. The weekend of racing marked the halfway point
of the Midwest SRT TORC season, so every finishing position is at a
premium.

The .7-mile layout in and on the banked half-mile oval was a
combination of high-speed jumps and a series of jumps and then whoops
throughout the infield portion of the layout.

Friday Round 5

The USAC style rolling start was used with all the races; this put
Mitch starting in row 4 next to #837 Ruppel. The start saw most of the
fourteen Stock Truck field bang and bounce off each other coming
through the first turn and onto the infield.

By the third lap, the Fabricated Steel Products Ford held the third
position. Two laps later, Mitch moves up a spot and is on the bumper
of the leader, Ruppel.

As the field was racing to the competition caution lap, the red
Goodyear Tire Ford bicycles and misses a jump while the field bunches
up together going through the infield and moves back to third place.

During the yellow flag lap, track officials move Mitch Dorr back three
spots due to a missed jump.

When the racing continues Mitch really is pushing hard to make up the
lost positions. When the checkered flag falls, Mitch Dorr and his #817
Fabricated Steel Products Goodyear Tires Ford F-150 crossed the finish
line in fourth place.

Saturday Round 6

The fourteen Stock Trucks came rolling to the line and continued to
put on the best racing of the weekend. The race featured all kinds of
contact, with a few drivers being sent to the penalty box, but somehow
a select few ran without much incident. One of those was Mitch Dorr.
The final lap saw a door to door battle with #837. As the two trucks
crossed the finish line, Ruppel edged out Dorr by about three feet for
second place. Just as the top three drivers were headed to the podium,
track officials penalized the winner for rough driving, giving the win
to Ruppel and second place to Mitch Dorr.

?This was a wild weekend of racing, commented Mitch Dorr. I cant
agree with all the calls from the officials, but after all thats said
and done we are still in challenging for the season championship. The
standings have the top five drivers within five points of each other,
and we are only two points out of the lead. There was a ton of contact
out there, and our Raceline Allied Wheels and Goodyear Tires kept us
in the game all weekend. The rhythm section Ricky put together was
really long, but our King Shocks kept this Ford F-150 straight and on
the power. I can?t wait to get to Bark River.?

Mitch Dorr thanks all his supporters including: Fabricated Steel
Products, Auto Trans Designs, Goodyear Tires, Raceline Allied Wheels,
King Shocks, Autometer, K & N Filters, MSD Ignition, Optima Batteries,
Phil?s Inc. and Mastercraft Seats.

Dorr Off-Road Racing has sponsorship opportunities available for the
2009 and 2010 seasons. Interested parties can reach Mitch Dorr @
