AURORA, Ill. (February
4, 2010) – As a world leader in problem solving additives and
hi-performance lubricants, Lucas Oil is no stranger to the world of
motorsports. As a premier sponsor in a wide range of different racing
properties from stock cars to drag boats as well as various motorsports teams,
Lucas Oil continues to broaden its exposure and support the industry by lending
its well-respected name to the AMA Arenacross Series.
Since the prequel
race in Des Moines in November 2009, Lucas Oil has been the “Official Oil
of the AMA Arenacross Series.” Already a title sponsor of the Lucas Oil
AMA Pro Motocross Championship, as well as an integral supporter of the AMA Endurocross Series, Lucas is a prominent fixture in the
dirt-bike racing world. By coming on board to the AMA Arenacross Series, Lucas
Oil further strengthens the series’ reputation as the nation’s
premier indoor dirt-bike racing series.
“Feld Motor Sports produces high caliber, arena-based events
and the brand marketing power reaches millions of fans every year,” said
Lucas Oil Executive Vice President & General Counsel Bob Patison. “By partnering up with Feld
Motor Sports as the ‘Official Oil of AMA Arenacross’ this new
opportunity positions Lucas Oil to capitalize on our existing industry
influence and solidify our presence as the leading high performance lubricant.
The racers and mechanics know about the benefits of using Lucas Oil Products,
now the fans will know this too."
“We are thrilled to be working with
Lucas Oil on the AMA Arenacross Series”, said Charlie Mancuso, President
of Feld Motor Sports, “Lucas Oil is a premier
brand in the world of motor sports and we look forward to working with them for
many years to come.”
The AMA Arenacross
Series is currently in the midst of its 27th year of competition and
for over two decades the series has provided hundreds of thousands of fans with
some of the most memorable bar-banging action on the planet. Some of the
industry’s most notable names like Travis Pastrana,
Justin Brayton, Branden Jesseman,
Damon Bradshaw, John Dowd, Robbie Reynard and Brock Sellards

Lucas Oil that illustrious history will continue for years to come.
