Pro Lite short-course driver Casey Currie, known for
sweeping the TORC championship weekend at Crandon last year
and taking home the series Pro Lite title, has signed a
multi-year sponsorship with General Tire.
He will begin racing on Grabber LT265/75R16 tires at the
Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series this weekend. He’ll also be
competing on the TORC circuit.
Born into a motorsports family, Currie started racing
motorcycles when he was just five years old, moving up to
trucks at age 16.
Taking home his first major win in 2003, Currie championed
the MDR series in his JeepSpeed truck. In 2004, Currie
switched to Pro Truck and Class 1, taking second in Pro
Truck at the Baja 1000 and third in Class 1 at the Baja
500.
Currie clinched second place overall in the 2008 and 2009
King of Hammers, finished second in Round 1 and 2 of the
2010 M4SX Trophy Kart, and achieved the championship of the
2010 TORC series.
“2010 was a monumental year for me,” he recounts. “I set out
to win the TORC series, and that’s exactly what I did. This
General Tire sponsorship is the perfect way to start off an
even better 2011,” he adds.
“I see how hard the Team GT drivers work and I know that the
tires they run work just as hard,” Currie continues. “I’m
proud to be a part of this great team and start off the year
on the best tires in off-road racing.”
He’ll be debuting a new truck at the upcoming Lucas Oil
Off-Road Race in Chandler, Ariz.
