California (April 24, 2009) – Two-Time SCORE Trophy-Truck Points
Champion “Ballistic” BJ Baldwin will be making his 2009 short course
off road racing debut with the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series in
Surprise, Arizona on May 2nd. As the inaugural season off the Lucas Oil
Off Road Series moves full speed ahead ,off road racing star
“Ballistic” BJ Baldwin returns to the desert, only now it’s in his
850HP Unlimited 2 on the new short course off road track at Speedworld
in Surprise, Arizona. “I’m a racer. This is what I do,” Said Baldwin,
the 2006 and 2008 Season Champion in SCORE Trophy-Truck, desert
racing’s marquis class. “Desert racing, with such an emphasis on
fitness, concentration, and driving skills all while battling the open
desert and the elements is a lot of fun for me. I’ll always love it. In
a short course truck, you’re racing door to door, head to head and your
driving skills and your equipment are your weapons. For me this is a 20
lap cage fight. Anyone who takes the green flag can win a race at any
time. I’m ready to go racing with these guys! “
Baldwin
will be lining up against some of short course off road racing’s
biggest stars including Bully Dog/SpeedTechnologies’ Jeff Ward,
Hart&Huntington’s Carey Hart, LucasOil/GeneralTires’ Carl Renezeder
and Papas and Beer’s Rodrigo Ampudia, who has shown he had the mettle
to run with the best. LOORRS’ Tony Vanillo, deep in final preparations
for the huge race weekend, paused for a moment to consider the
Unlimited 2 field that will be racing in Arizona. “There’s a ton of
great guys coming out. We are going to see a huge line up and some big
time racing. BJ has his work cut out for him if he’s going to get to
the front of this pack. Not one of these racers is going to give up a
line, a corner or the podium without a fight. This is going to be
good!”
