Stow, Ohio – Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels returns to regional grass roots short course racing this year as the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Racing Series Mini Stock class sponsor.

The Mickey Thompson sponsorship means support to racers who are passionate about the sport, but don’t have a huge budget. Mini Stock Class racers rely primarily on stock components and minor modifications to convert production trucks to competition vehicles.

“We want to continue to have a meaningful role in supporting up-and-coming young racers in the sport,” stated Ken Warner, Vice President of Marketing for Mickey Thompson. “Sponsorship gives us a perfect opportunity to do that.”

“The Mini Stock class continues to be one of the fastest growing racing classes in the sport,” said Lee Perfect, LOORRS Regional Series director. “These teams are always in need of support, and Mickey Thompson’s involvement makes a big difference.”

The Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Racing Series begins February 27 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino following the 2015 Championship Awards ceremony scheduled February 26. For more information, visit http://lucasoilregional.com.
