MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (April
29, 2022) – MX Sports
Pro Racing has announced
that world renowned
Lucas Oil Products, Inc.,
will continue its role
as title sponsor of the
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro
Racing, for a 14th
season. The American
manufacturer and
distributor of
high-performance oils
and additives for
vehicles of all
varieties, including
motorcycles, will once
again serve as the
“Official Oil,
Lubricant, and Additive”
of the world’s most
prestigious off-road
motorcycle racing
series, which will kick
off its 50th anniversary
season beginning on May
28 from Southern
California’s
Fox Raceway.
Thanks to its
unparalleled,
longstanding support of
motorsports disciplines
of all kinds, Lucas Oil
is one of the
single-most-recognizable
brands within the
automotive and
powersports industries,
highlighted by an
impressive ascension
within motorcycling
through its support of
Pro Motocross for well
over a decade. The brand
played an integral role
in the start of a new
era for American
motocross by assuming
its titular role in 2009
and has never wavered in
its commitment to the
sport, series organizers
MX Sports Pro Racing,
and motocross fans
around the world.
““Without the support of
Lucas Oil, the Pro
Motocross Championship
and American motocross
as a whole would not be
where it is today, with
a global footprint that
makes this the
preeminent off-road
motorcycle racing
series. As we prepare to
embark on the 50th
anniversary of this
storied championship, we
are incredibly fortunate
to have a longstanding
partner who is as
invested in the sport as
we are,” said Davey
Coombs, President, MX
Sports Pro Racing.
“Lucas Oil’s commitment
to our fans, athletes,
and industry is second
to none and they’ve
brought even more value
to the sport in
utilizing their
production platform to
provide the best
broadcast coverage the
championship has ever
seen to audiences around
the world.”

With the championship’s
50th anniversary on the
horizon, the 2022 season
is a significant one for
Lucas Oil, as its
broadcast production
arm,
MAVTV Motorsports
Network, has
expanded its role to
become the primary
broadcast and streaming
partner, via
MAVTV Plus, of the
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship. An
unprecedented full slate
of live telecasts
awaits, setting a new
standard for how fans of
the sport can watch the
season unfold from
across the globe. MAVTV
Motorsports Network is
available on most cable,
satellite, and digital
television providers,
while MAVTV Plus will
provide worldwide live
streaming of the 50 th
anniversary season for a
yearly subscription of
$99, or for $6.99 a
month.
“Nearly a decade and a
half ago Lucas Oil made
the decision to fully
embrace motocross, both
as a sport and an
industry, and establish
a foundation for the
next generation of
American motocross to
grow from. Now, 14 years
later, we could not be
prouder of how far we
have come together, on
the cusp of the 50th
anniversary season,”
said Morgan Lucas,
President of Lucas Oil
Products. “Much like our
brand, motocross as a
whole is built on
passion and a hands-on
enthusiast mindset. Pro
Motocross represents the
celebration and
spectacle of this
dedication, from the 40
riders who line up on
every starting gate to
the thousands of
die-hard fans who hug
the fence lines at the
Nationals all summer
long. We cannot wait for
this landmark season to
unfold, strengthening
our commitment to the
sport even further with
a historic broadcast
partnership through
MAVTV Motorsports
Network and MAVTV Plus.”
Fittingly, Lucas Oil’s
roots stem from Southern
California, much like
the motocross industry.

Charlotte Lucas in
Corona in 1989, Lucas
