Brian Deegan Competes in the Rockstar Energy/Lucas Oil Challenge Cup

Corona, Ca – Brian Deegan competed last weekend in the Rockstar Energy/Lucas Oil Challenge Cup in his hometown of Lake Elsinore, Ca. The weather turned out to be the best all season, drawing a large crowd to the Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex for the much-anticipated race of the year. A prize purse totaling over $180,000 was on the line, the biggest prize purse in Off-Road history.

On Saturday’s main event the grid was stacked with 13 Unlimited Lites against 13 Unlimited Buggies in a classic “Shootout” format for an all out battle to see who would claim the Rockstar Energy/Lucas Oil Challenge Cup! At the start of the race Deegan’s teammate Todd Cuffaro took the early lead, but after only two laps had to pull off the track. Battling his way through the pack from 6^th place, Deegan joined the season’s top competitors Rob Naugton and Chris Brandt. Parker Grabowski an Unlimited Lites driver had a rollover causing a full course caution to be issued.

On the restart despite having complications with his truck, Deegan managed to pull ahead of Naughton taking over second position just inches behind Chris Brandt. On the mandatory competition yellow the top 3 spots were Chris Brandt, Brian Deegan and Rob Naughton. At the drop of the green flag, Deegan quickly moved past Brandt and took the lead. Shortly after claiming the first position Deegan had to pull off the track due to complications.

“I came from 6^th battling a stalling truck and dirt in the carburetor. After passing Naughton for 2^nd the full course caution came out and on the restart I cut in and passed Brandt for the lead. Not long after I took the lead my shifter stuck in 3^rd gear and the money slipped from my hand.”

Although at first a disappointment, Deegan still walks away as the Lucas Oil Off Road Unlimited Lites Champion for 2009! After an incredible 2009 race season, Deegan is looking forward to competing next year to defend his championship against the competition. This year proved to be an exciting season for the Rockstar/Metal Mulisha/Lucas Oil race team, locking down an impressive 12 podiums in 12 races!
