Yokohama-
sponsored drivers collected two first-place finishes in Lucas
Oil Off-Road Racing Series action at Glen Helen Raceway near
San Bernardino, Calif.
Cameron Steele captured his first series race of the season in
the Pro Lite Class, as did Chad George, who took the title in
the Super Lites Class. They both won on off-the-shelf Geolandar
A/T-S tires.
“It was great to see Cameron and Chad get their first wins of
the season,” says senior motorsports manager Andrew
Briggs.
“They’ve been competitive all year and we knew it was only a
matter of time before they were going to get it done” he
reports. “I know winning this race meant a lot to Cameron,
Chad and their teams.”
Steele is a veteran off-road Trophy Truck class racer who has
won championships in SCORE and SNORE. The two-time SCORE
Person of the Year and television commentator says the
company’s tires were a big factor in helping drive his No.16
300-hp Ford Pro Lite Unlimited truck to victory. “The tires
performed perfectly,” he notes.
George also praised the Geolandars for assisting his No. 42
Kawasaki Super Lite truck in its wire-to-wire win: “With
Yokohama tires on my truck, I have my best chance to win a
LOORRS championship.”
