"4 Wheel Parts has enjoyed a long and successful affiliation with our friends at Lucas Oil," said Adler. "We have their products on our shelves, we rely on them in our racecars and we connect with our customers through our participation in their series both as a sponsor and as a team. Our collaboration with Lucas demonstrates what can be achieved through a truly great partnership."
This season, 4 Wheel Parts will once again partner with the series in distributing complimentary tickets to youth under 12 years of age throughout the regions where short course off-road events will be held. The free youth tickets will also be available at participating 4 Wheel Parts stores. 4 Wheel Parts will also be bestowed the official designation as a series sponsor in addition to the being recognized as title sponsor of the year-end, season finale at Chandler's Wild Horse Motorsports Park in October.
"We take immense pride in the fact that our connection with 4 Wheel Parts extends well beyond a traditional sponsorship," said Jamie Devney, Team Lucas Vice President of Brand Development.
