SPARKS, NV – Team Toyo’s Kyle LeDuc continues to build on his historic string of consecutive wins… now 12 in a row in the Pro 4 class of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS).  He scored his latest sweep during Rounds 13 and 14 of the series at the Silver State Showdown in Sparks, Nevada.

LeDuc immediately conquered the fastest circuit of the series by qualifying in the #1 spot, setting the pace for the main events.  Saturday’s Round 13 main event was an easy victory for LeDuc and his 900-horsepower #99 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Ford F-150.  Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires provided the traction to score the wins.

On Sunday, drivers and fans faced an exciting twist as LOORRS used an inverted start for the fast qualifiers.  LeDuc started the race well back in the field of nine trucks, clawing his way to the front to once again score a victory.

“This weekend was a flat out amazing event for us.  This track showcases speed along with the level of commitment required for both drivers and their trucks.  We put it to them all this weekend,” said LeDuc.  “We won from the pole position, and also from the sixth position.  Our Toyo’s kept us glued to the track throughout the races.  We are miles ahead of the competition once again this year.”

“A big congratulations to Kyle LeDuc for sweeping the race weekend in Sparks, Nevada, on Toyo Open Country M/T-R tires,” said Stan Chen, senior manager of events and sponsorships, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.  “Kyle has now surpassed the 11 wins he scored during last season, which resulted in his winning the overall Pro 4 class championship.”

While competing in Estero Beach, Baja California, Mexico at the beginning of the month, LeDuc set the LOORRS record for the most consecutive Pro 4 class wins in a single season… 10 in a row.  The next race weekend is September 18 – 19 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada.
