Bryce Menzies Gets Back-to-Back Wins in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
- Nov 6, 2009
Racing off-road flat-out, plotting split-second, mid-air calculations, while thrashing over deliberately unpredictable terrain, requires an extraordinary set of driving skills. To win - requires an astonishingly persistent, and dogged confidence in those skills at every instant. Bryce Menzies, the 22-year-old off-road rising star from Las Vegas, Nevada, has all of that, in truckloads. Menzies showcased his racing prowess lately in both top classes of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, doubling-up with two victories in rounds nine and ten, held at Speedworld Raceway in Surprise, Arizona.
"Bryce started racing off-road April '07 at CORR, in Lancaster, California, in a single buggy, that weekend he won his first event - and the rest has been a direct result of that weekend," believes Steve Menzies, Bryce's father, a successful entrepreneur and team owner of Menzies Motorsports (Big Red Machine).
The 22-year old phenom has been consistently tightening up on a wicked learning curve ever since. Only recently, he took his No. 7 Super Clean Ford F150 Unlimited Pro-2 truck, and scraped sponsor decals with the defending champion, Carl Renezeder, at Speedworld Raceway. Brutally hot temperatures did not deter over 15,000 fans from packing the grandstands for the Unlimited Pro-2 main event held over the two-day race weekend. At the finish though, it was the young talent that out raced all of the competition, earning the weekend sweep.
"What a great weekend of racing. Bryce and the team performed better than ever. Anytime you can double up victories at this stage of the season it's a good thing. Once again the entire team came together and gave Bryce a perfect race truck and he went out and drove it to the checkers, twice! I couldn't be any happier with the performance of Menzies Motorsports," commented a jubilant Menzies senior. That gives Bryce a total of five wins in the Unlimited 2 for the season. He also holds two checkered flags in the Limited Buggy class this year.
"I think the extra seat time and a great truck, from the preparation, to the set up, is what has propelled Bryce to the front of the pack this year," adds Steve.
"We use K&N products on everything we have, the support has been phenomenal. K&N has spent time helping us develop a trick new air cleaner for the Unlimited 2, that really helps us with the weight and with increased clean air, we really appreciate it," comments Steve.
"The 2010 season will bring an expanded race program for Bryce, he will race Trophy Truck and also Short Course, in both classes," concludes Steve.
