Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Rounds 3 & 4
(Posted May 7, 2013) Pro Power Racing followed their drivers to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway where rounds 3 & 4 were held for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. Fans gathered enduring the heat of Nevada to watch the top level talent battle door to door for the checkered flag. Drivers shook off the dust at the season opener in Arizona and now ready to run for some championship points.

It was an exciting weekend for the Kimbrell family and LoanMart Racing team as Austin took his very first Pro 2 podium. Prior to the 2013 season, 22 year old, Austin Kimbrell had his fair share of seat time the Pro Lite class up until the final decisons of Loanmart where expectations rose to a whole new level. Getting used to the power and attitude of the formidable Pro 2 race truck can be quite a challenge. But that didn’t let anything stop the underdog to the Pro 2 pack. Green flag dropped and the horsepower rose to a quick rush into turn one and Austin had something to prove. Austin put down some fast clean laps with his Pro Power engine only to be making his way to the front trailing McGrath and MacCachren until they piled up in turn 3 and Austin’s line took him soaring past the carnage. It came down to the last lap, last turn where Austin took a charge along with Mac at Clark who lead the whole race and lost positions due to a flat tire, it was almost too close to tell who had taken the remaining two podium spots. No doubt here, Austin Kimbrell and the team will back out at Lake Elsniore ready to do it again. | more
