The 2019 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) season has begun and the top drivers will again be sponsored by Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels. Demonstrating the performance of its off-road tires in the dirt racing series. The Pro 2 class will have to race off-the-shelf tires instead of project tires, a new requirement for the season.

"These dirt short course competitions offer edge-of-your-seat excitement, with the country’s best drivers battling wheel to wheel, and 2019 promises to be the finest season yet. Due to new tire requirements for the Pro 2 class, we believe our off-road tires will become the new standard for champion LOORRS Pro 2 competitors."
The 2019 Team M/T lineup includes:
- Pro 2 – Brian Deegan, "Li’l" Ricky Gutierrez, Adam Daffner, Eric Jacobus, Kipp Mickels
- Pro Lite – Mason Cullen, Hailie Deegan
- Pro Buggy – Trevor Briska
The company will also sponsor Andrew Carlson in East Coast Pro 2 and limited West Coast Pro 4 races.
