Tuesday, February 16, 2016 —Lucas Oil Products, one of the world’s leading high performance lubricants and additives, will join forces with FIM MXGP World Championship squad 24MX Honda. The team of Ken De Dycker and Matiss Karro thus will be called ‘24MX Lucas Oil Honda’ from now on.
Lucas Oil is already a huge name on the US scene, with a presence in virtually every form of high level racing and title sponsorship of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. The striking Lucas Oil branding will be visible on the team’s CRF450R race bikes, race gear and on the team’s race trailer.
“It’s very exciting to assist an amazing brand like Lucas Oil in their continued push in motocross and even more so because this will further boost Lucas Oil’s profile with riders and fans across the world. We’re looking forward to running their products and to be a part of their research and development should be a win-win for everyone,” team ownerMarc Boone said. “Combined with Lucas Oil’s innovative marketing strategies we feel that this the perfect match for the team and everyone who’s supporting us.”
“We are proud to announce our new partnership with the 24MX Honda team. It’s a huge step for Lucas Oil to enter MXGP with the 24MX Lucas Oil Hondateam! We put much emphasis on testing in the most demanding conditions and competing at the highest level of world motocross with guys like Ken and Matiss is going to be great for that. I can’t wait to see ‘our riders’ give it their all on these iconic GP tracks,” commented Lucas Oil Motorsports ManagerTom Bogner.
24MX Lucas Oil Honda will start their assault on the MXGP World Championship on February 26th-27th in Losail, Qatar. Over the next seven months riders will compete on 4 continents tackling a wide variety of terrain. Already now the anticipation is building for the season-ending Monster Energy MX of Nations taking place in Maggiora, Italy at the end of September.
Lucas Oil Products are distributed worldwide in 30 countries and also available online through 24MX.
