Casey Currie battles for top five finish at Lucas Oil Off-road season opener

The Season opener for Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series started in spectacular fashion with a stacked field of racers and magnificently constructed, technical track. The facility located at Las Vegas Motor speedway offered exciting racing and great spectating a like. After being notified two days before the race that he was to be there, Casey Currie scrambled and rented a Pro-lite from Garrit Wallace. The truck had been sitting in a trailer for 18 months with no prep or maintenance. Casey, his family, and his crew thrashed for 24 hours non-stop to get the truck ready.
Even though Casey had no time to test or set up the truck, he managed to qualify 9th, which set him up for a 4th row start. Near the beginning of the race the number #92 truck actually flipped into the hood of Casey’s #2 Monster Energy Pro-lite stopping him and send him to the last position. Casey turned on the heat and fought his way back up to 5th place pushing the rented truck to its limit. Casey crossed the finish line in a respectable 5th place.
After having some time in the truck, Casey made a lot of changes to improve the performance of the truck. Sunday’s qualifying was canceled due to rain and the divers were only given one lap to shake down their vehicles, making the slippery wet conditions even more of an obstacle. On Sunday Casey started on the poll and led the first few laps until Rodrigo Ampudia got around him. Casey stayed in the 2nd position until the restart. Two laps after the restart Casy’s truck began to lose power eventually stopping due to a mechanical failure with the carburetor.
Casey had this to say about the race: “We really had to scramble to make it here. On Tuesday I had no idea what I was going to drive! My team pulled together with support form our sponsors and we made is out to the race. On Saturday I had a hard time adaption to the rented truck, but by Sunday I felt it was working much better. I would have liked to finish on the podium, but making it to the race was a victory in itself. I had a great time battling some of the top racers in the Pro-lite class.”

Casey Currie Teryx Ride day at KOH

For those who may be interested, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Casey Currie is planning a Teryx ride day in conjunction with the King of the Hammers event. the ride day will be on February 7 in the Johnson Valley OHV area. The ride will consist of some of the famous Hammer trails although none of the super difficult trails will be used. He is laying it out so a stock Teryx will not have any issues making it on the run. There will also be plenty of open desert running so if you always wondered what the KOH was all about, this is your opportunity to check it out first hand.

Casey will also be providing a BBQ lunch and I hear that there will be plenty of prizes available from those who support Casey and the event. Casey will even have his KOH rock buggy on display and if we ask nicely, I’m sure he’ll give us a first hand display of what that car can do in action. I expect it to be a first class event so if your interested please send and email to Info@currieracing.com
