Chad George earned the victory in the spec Super Lite class at Round 10.

The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series returned to Glen Helen Raceway for the second time this year. To avoid the heat of the summer, the Lucas Oil crew hosted Rounds 9 and 10 later in the evening and under lights. With only five rounds remaining after this weekend, crucial championship points were on the line. Check out some of the action Glen Helen below.

Justin “Bean” Smith earned his second victory this year in Pro Buggy Unlimited after winning the championship in Limited Buggy last year.

The Round 10 Pro 4 raced kicked off just as the sun was going down.

Rick Huseman earned the Pro 4 Unlimited after jumping out to the lead and staying away from the chaos behind him.

Cameron Steele earned his first win in the Pro Lite class at Round 10 tonight. He was emotional after the race, saying he still struggles with the lost of his close friend Jeff “Ox” Kargola.

Rodrigo Ampudia Jr. held the lead in Pro 2 for much of the race but he was unable to hold off a hard-charging Rob MacCachren late in the race. Unfortunately for MacCachren, he crashed shortly after taking the lead. Ampudia was able to stay in the hunt but had to settle for second behind Brian Deegan in the final race of the night.

Patrick Clark stayed in contention during the Super Lite race but was unable to get past Chad George and had to settle for second place.

After a wild race that saw the lead change three times, Brian Deegan was able to stay near the front of the pack and strike when his opportunity came to earn the Pro 2 Unlimited win on Sunday night.
