Lucas Oil Off-Road - Drivers Learn New Track I Round 7 Qualifying

Toole, June 25, 2011: Under beautiful blue skies, the traveling circus of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series brought its outstanding show to an all-new track here at the Miller Motorsports Complex in Tooele, UT. Of course the series raced here at Miller for the first time on an improvised track last year, but this year sees the drivers take to an all-new, purpose-built track just behind and to the southwest of the road race course's start/finish line. Thanks to the Daugherty family, beautiful fully-shaded grandstands are already in place to accommodate the local crowd, and with perfect temperatures and a pleasant breeze, the stage was set for a great afternoon. In case you weren't here (and you really should've been), read on to find out what you missed.

Pro 4 Unlimited First out on this beautiful new track for today's qualifying sessions were the thundering beasts of Pro 4 Unlimited. Round 6 winner Kyle LeDuc threw down the gauntlet on the opening lap with a 44.162 in his #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford, with Carl Renezeder then grabbing top spot on lap two with a 43.742 in his #17 General Tire/Team Associated Ford. LeDuc grabbed the lead back on lap three with a 43.038, but it was then Rick Huseman who took control up front. Huseman turned a 42.808 on lap four in his #36 Monster Energy/Traxxas Toyota, followed by a 42.586 on lap five, a 42.566 on lap seven, and the ultimate pole-setting time of 42.449 on the final lap. LeDuc improved as well, taking second with a 42.621, with Renezeder third at 42.748, Adrian Cenni fourth with a 43.054 in his #11 Atrium Payroll/Maxxis truck, and Curt LeDuc fifth in his #43 Rockstar/Makita Ford; Curt's best lap was a 43.846.

Pro Buggy Unlimited Next up were the Pro Buggy Unlimiteds, and today's qualifying session was all about the #5 ProAm/Redline Performance Foddrill of Jerry Whelchel. He bettered the session-best time every lap but one (lap three), dropping the leading time from 49.703 all the way down to 46.445 by session's end. Justin "Bean" Smith was next best (the only other driver to lead the session) with a 47.146 in his #19 Metal Mulisha/Impact AlumiCraft, with Doug Fortin third in the #96 Fortin Racing, Inc./Fox Racing Shox Racer at 47.409. Fourth went to Bobby PeCoy in the #11 Signpros/Maxxis AlumiCraft, whose best lap was a 47.654, and Steven Greinke recovered well from a near-accident mid-session to take fifth with a 47.810 in his #23 SC Fuels/BFGoodrich Tires Racer.

Pro Lite Unlimited The first class to not see consistently dropping times in qualifying was Pro Lite Unlimited. Is this a testament to the true level at which these drivers race, finding the limit right out of the gate? Either way, it was Chris Brandt in his #82 Aero Motorsports/Oakley Toyota who led after lap one, circling the track at a 47.044. Kyle LeDuc then grabbed the top spot on lap two in his #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford, dropping the leading time to 46.717. LeDuc dropped that time again on lap three, posting a 46.505, and despite several other drivers breaking into the sub-47 range, LeDuc's time held up for the rest of the session to net him the pole. Second went to Brandt, who improved to a 46.681, just edging out the #38 Rockstar/Gibson Performance Exhaust Ford of Brian Deegan by three thousandths of a second! Fourth went to Cameron Steele, who was barely one tenth of a second further adrift with a 46.698 in his #16 Stronghold Motorsports/Yokohama Ford, and fifth went to a much-improved Austin Kimbrell, who turned a 46.988 in his #88 Toyo Tires/Fiberwerx Ford.
