Press Release

Ricky James and the SoCal SuperTrucks SuperLite Head into Important Race Weekend in Vegas


Forgiven Energy Steps Up
to Help Team for Vegas Race Weekend



 



May 19, 2010 (San Bernardino, CA)—SoCal
SuperTrucks and Ricky James have their sights set on putting themselves back
into Championship contention  this weekend, May 22nd and 23rd , during
rounds 5 and 6 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway.



 



Coming into the 2010 season, James and the SoCal SuperTrucks
SuperLite have been viewed as the “team to beat” by both competitors and race
fans alike. Although Ricky has consistently posted the fastest lap times at
each round and earned a 2nd place finish at Round 3 in AZ, the team has been
plagued with misfortune resulting in multiple DNF’s due to mechanical issues
and a crash that resulted in a hospital visit for Ricky. The SoCal SuperTrucks
SuperLite currently sits 6th in points and the entire crews knows how important
this weekend will be to have a shot at the Overall 2010 Championship.



 



The team is also excited to announce that Forgiven Energy
(http://www.ForgivenEnergy.com) has
stepped up and come on board as a team sponsor for this weekend’s races.



 



Ricky was paralyzed from the chest down in a motocross
racing accident in March of 2005. SoCal SuperTrucks outfitted the Super Lite
race truck with hand controls that allow him to control the throttle, brake,
clutch and shifting with his left hand while leaving his right hand free to
steer. In 2009, Ricky made his rookie and race debut in the SoCal SuperTrucks
SuperLite, capturing 5 out of 6 wins.



 



“We obviously are not where we had hoped to be at this point
in the Season,” said Ricky James. “If we can keep the wheels on the dirt and
the truck running smooth, we are the team to beat. I really want to thank the
guys over at Forgiven Energy for stepping up this weekend and I’d love to give
them a win for the added support they will be providing us.”



 



The team would like to thank current 2010 team sponsors,
which include Bully Dog Technologies, BFGoodrich, Walker Evans, Rockwell Time,
K&N Filters, Alpinestars and AOKNick.org, as well Forgiven Energy.
