Stow, Oh. – March 17, 2015 - Mickey Thompson returns to Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) action with an expanded all-star Team M/T lineup including six-time LOORRS Champion Brian Deegan who will compete in both the Pro 2 and Pro 4 classes.
After Deegan wrapped up the 2014 season by earning his third Pro 2 championship on Mickey Thompson’s Baja Pro Radial tires, he was thrilled to team up with Mickey Thompson to start planning for 2015.
“Last year was another amazing year for Brian and it was great for us to be a part of his success,” said Ken Warner, Vice President of Marketing for Mickey Thompson. “In his usual style, he pushed it to the limit in competition while also working closely with us throughout the year on the development of the new Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 wheel line. We’ve got some amazing momentum going into this season’s competition and we can’t wait to get to the track.”
Deegan is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of action sports. He continues to compete in numerous racing categories including LOORRS, Freestyle Motocross, Global Rallycross and Monster Jam.
The Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 wheels, scheduled for availability in April 2015 will debut with two exceptional styles for truck, SUV and Jeep – the Pro 2 Black and the Pro 4 Black.
“We worked with Brian to design a unique line of wheels that will become part of the next generation of Deegan 38 products,” Warner continued. “These tough, stylish, functional wheels pair exceptionally well with our Deegan 38 tires and we’re excited to bring them to our customers.”
