The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series headed to Las Vegas this past weekend for Rounds 13 and 14 of the 2014 season, but the action on the track was halted short after bad weather forced the an early stop to the races. Round 13 was completed on Friday nights under the lights at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but with lightening and rain forced an early stop to racing on Saturday night for Round 14.
Even without the threat of bad weather for Round 13 offered up some competitive and controversial racing. Pro 4 saw the point leader Kyle LeDuc take a turn wrong and take out brother Todd in the process. Rob MacCachren made a late-race pass on Doug Fortin to take the lead before the checkered flag, but the pass was controversially deemed too hard and he was given a black flag, which gave the win to Fortin and put MacCachren back in the pack.
In Pro 2, Bryce Menzies took the lead early and really never looked back. Rob MacCachren was able to make up for his Pro 4 penalty and finished on the podium in second, while Brian Deegan was able to continue his season-long podium streak alive by finishing in third.
Pro Lite offered up some jam-packed racing with its full field, though the race was halted and retorted a few times after full-course cautions forced restarts. Once the dirt cleared and the final flag waved, Jerret Brooks took the win ahead of Sheldon Creed and RJ Anderson, respectively.
In Pro Buggy, Chad George found redemption after a rough weekend of racing in Reno. George didn’t have an easy race, but his eventual victory makes him nearly impossible to catch for the season championship. Finishing behind George in second place was David Mason, while Mike Valentine rounded out the podium in third.
With Round 14 racing being called due to weather, Lucas Oil said it will make up the round of racing at the final race of the season, the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup, later next month. For more information on the series, visit LucasOilOffRoad.com.
