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 an
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 fan
athletes, and industry is second to none and theyÂ’ve brought even mor
e 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 championshipÂ’s 50th anniversary on the horizon, the 2022 season is
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 50th 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 embr
ace
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 a
s 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 OilÂ’s roots stem from Southern California, much like th
motocross industry. Founded by Forrest and Charlotte Lucas in Corona in 1989,
Lucas Oil Products was created to provide consumers with the best lubricants
and additives available anywhere. More than three decades later, Lucas OilÂ’
range of products is unparalleled, with a diversified range of industry
segments that includes the automotive, industrial, marine, motorsports,
outdoor, and powersports marketplaces, many of which were established by
Forrest Lucas himself. With more than 300 premium oil and lubricant products
available, Lucas Oil boasts the largest variety of shelf products from any
oil company in the United States, with a distribution network spanning 48
different countries.
The 50th
Anniversary of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship will be bookended

finishing point of the summer, with the season-opening round over
