Team Toyo's Kyle LeDuc swept the Pro 4 Unlimited class
last weekend during rounds 11 and 12 of the Lucas Oil
Off-Road Series at Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise,
Ariz.
In addition to winning first place on both Saturday and
Sunday, he also set the fastest lap times on both days.
This brings his Pro 4 Unlimited wins to four this year
with his No. 99 Ford F-150 running on Open Country M/T-R
tires.
During qualifying on Friday, LeDuc was nearly a full
second faster than the second-place truck. That
dominance lasted throughout the Pro 4 Unlimited race on
Saturday, resulting in the overall race win.
During Sunday’s Pro 4 race, his brother Todd LeDuc
started on the pole with his No. 4 Ford F-150, also
equipped with the Open Country M/T-R tires.
Todd LeDuc immediately took the lead at the green flag,
leading the race until the mandatory competition yellow
flag. Shortly after the restart, Todd’s truck stood up
on two wheels in a turn, handing the lead over to his
brother Kyle to win the race.
At the end, both LeDuc brothers stood on the podium,
Kyle in first and Todd in third place.
“We went there to deliver a win for our sponsors and we
went away with two wins, two fastest laps of the race
and a top qualifier – now that's how you have a good
weekend,” says Kyle. “At Surprise, nobody went around
that track faster at any point in any class than I did
on my Toyo tires; now that’s making a statement!”

Also capturing a third place podium finish on Saturday
was Jeremy McGrath, driving his No. 2 Pro 2 Unlimited
Ford truck running on the Open Country M/T-R tires.
McGrath fought a hard battle to ultimately move from the
top five to capture his podium spot late in the
race.
“Congratulations to Kyle LeDuc on scoring his sweep this
weekend at Surprise, and to Todd LeDuc and Jeremy
McGrath for their podium finishes,” says Stan Chen,
Toyo’s manager of events and motorsports. “Our Team Toyo
drivers once again had a great weekend, being ‘driven to
the podium’ with their Open Country M/T-R tires.”
A broadcast of last Sunday’s Round 12 Pro 4 Unlimited
and Pro 2 Unlimited races will air Oct. 15 at 2 p.m.
Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific on CBS Sports.
