Cocopah poster lowGILBERT, AZ    JUNE 12, 2013:  Alexander Ford Lincoln Truck Fest was a full success in Yuma Arizona.  With thousands of fans out for the driver meet and greet on Friday night at the Wild River Entertainment center, and the Monster Truck activities at the dealership, the stands were sure to be packed full on Saturday for the Arizona Short Course Championship and Lucas Oil Regional Off-Road Racing Series Arizona presented by ADS Shocks.  Spectators poured into the stands as soon as the smoldering Arizona sun fell down behind the mountains and the evening reached a cooler 80+ degrees.  The seven dozen racers put on a great show and the monster truck Obsession kept everyone entertained in between the races.  “It is pretty cool to have this placed packed with a great crowd and a city backing this sportsman type of racing series,” said Tim Jones, President of the ASCC/ Lucas Oil Regional Off-Road Series Arizona.  “The Cocopah Speedway facilities were beyond what any series has had to offer the off-road group yet, and we are excited to say that the September 7th race at Tucson International Raceway will be similar in nature.  You could say Arizona Short Course is a morphing between Lucas Oil Offroad Racing and the Robby Gordon Stadium Trucks, and we are excited to continue this level of experience for everyone involved.”

            All of the support from the town of Yuma was incredible.  “Ryan Hancock, the owner of Alexander Ford Lincoln, competed in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series last year and is racing the Best in the Desert series this year,” said Blake Stallworth, Alexander Ford Lincoln Sales Manager.  “It was a natural fit for us to support this race series as it comes into our backyard.  It was fun to have the monster truck at the dealership and watch all the kids enjoy it.  We also appreciated talking to everyone on Saturday at the races when they were checking out the wide selection of trucks, cars and SUV’s that we drove over.”

            As for the racing, it was awesome.  The field of racers displayed a broad scope of very competitive racing that brought a lot of action to the six lap qualifiers and ten lap main events.  The Pro Classes really tore up the track that was designed by Tony Benelli, who has multiple years experience in competitive short course racing.  The kid Kart classes are always exciting as the dozens of kids start up their career in racing.  Maybe the most exciting race of the day was the SR1 Side-by-Side Championship points race.  With the addition of the California series racers, this class was really hot!  Pro ATV rider Dustin Nelson was clearly the fastest along with Jason Weller, but it would be Mrs. Corry Weller who would take the win.
