Toyo to again sponsor off-roader Kyle LeDuc on racing circuit

Toyo has extended its sponsorship of short course off-road racer Kyle LeDuc for a sixth year.

LeDuc, a member of Team Toyo since 2006, will compete in two race truck classes in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series (LOORS) with his No. 99 Pro 4 Unlimited on Open Country M/T-R tires.

This season also marks LeDuc’s return to the Pro Lite class, where he will be running on off-the-shelf Open Country M/T rubber.

He finished second overall in the 2010 Pro 4 Unlimited class championship in LOORS, winning the biggest race at season’s- end, the 2010 Rockstar Energy Challenge Cup – Pro 2 Versus Pro 4 Cup Race.

LeDuc has won countless races in Pro 4 with his 800+ horsepower Rockstar/Makita/Toyo Tires Ford F-150, including the 2009 Borg Warner Cup in the TORC series.

“I can count on my Toyo tires to perform on the track and help me win races,” he reports.

“We are excited to have Kyle LeDuc competing on Open Country tires in both the Pro Lite Unlimited and Pro 4 Unlimited classes in 2011,” says Stan Chen, manager of events and motorsports. “Kyle is an intense competitor and is a great representative of the Toyo Tires brand in short course off- road competition.”
