Falken’s Cole Mamer Grabs First Place At Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 4

WHEATLAND, MO – Competing in the Pro Lite class, Team Falken driver Cole Mamer took first place at Round 4 of the 2020 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series during last weekend’s special tripleheader event in Wheatland, Missouri.
 
The busy weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway – a favorite among drivers due to its big air and long runs – began on Friday with Round 3. Mamer was leading until the last lap when another driver ran into his truck, causing enough damage to force Cole off the circuit. He also suffered a power steering pump failure.
 
Saturday was a different story. He came back with a vengeance for Round 4, qualifying first, setting a record for fastest lap, and ultimately finishing atop the podium.
 
“It was a long weekend – the first in series history to have three straight days of racing – but Cole got a win and continued to build points toward the championship,” said Brandon Barberena, Falken Tires’ Supervisor, Light Truck and Off-Road Events. “We always feel like he's the clear favorite going into every event, and he definitely entered the weekend with a strong truck. Even though he didn't win all three rounds in Missouri, we could tell the Wildpeak A/T3Ws really helped him through his runs.”
 
“It’s pretty clear the Pro Lite class continues to be wide open,” said Mamer. “Every race is up for grabs, and I’m out here to win. It’s nice feeling like I always have a bit of an edge with these Wildpeaks.”
 
Another tripleheader weekend is set for the next LOORS event on September 18-20 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, featuring Rounds 6-8. Mamer is currently 4th in points.
