Superlites at Elsinore

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reno, NV

There are fourteen drivers preparing for rounds 5 & 6 of the Bully Dog SuperLite Championship being held at the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series this weekend in Lake Elsinore, CA. Each driver is preparing in their own unique way for the battle that is forth coming. Some of the new drivers to the class have to be just a little nervous about what they are about to get into, two of those new racers coming into the SuperLite class are very well known names.

Ricky James makes his debut driving for SoCal Super Trucks. Ricky will be a familiar name to many, just a couple of years ago the aggressive young driver was poised to become the next legendary supercross racer with the likes of Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed. Unfortunately Ricky was injured in an accident leaving his legs paralyzed. Since the accident Ricky has been racing circle track also for SoCal Super Trucks with great success. This will be his return to dirt and it is a return that Ricky is very excited about.

Another notable driver racing a SuperLite truck is skateboard professional, radio shock jock and undefeated MMA fighter, Jason Ellis. Jason will be running a ragged weekend as he will be returning from NYC where he is doing the Howard Stern show this week, getting off a plane Friday night he will come straight to the track but will be missing practice and qualifying on Friday meaning he will be starting Saturday’s race at the back of the pack. On his radio show Jason has predicted that he will be running up front. While he maybe able to do so it will be a tough tash starting at the back and having very little practice time. Sunday may be a different story as he will be able to practice and qualify.

While these are just a couple of the newcomers hoping for great races, a couple of class regulars are in a close battel for the points championship. Chad Leising coming off his first win in AZ is poised to run up front as well as normal front runner John Harrah. Throw in the likes of Brandon Bailey, David Reyes and Chuck Dempsey it is almost impossible to predict the winner or even the top three for that matter
