New Challenges for K&N Sponsored Bradley Morris in the 2017 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
New Challenges for K&N Sponsored Bradley Morris in the 2017 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series

A new year brings a new challenge for the K&N-sponsored Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series driver Bradley Morris. With the season opener for LOORS upon us, Bradley is getting set to battle in two different trucks this season. Bradley is going to be racing in his Pro 4 as well as in a brand new Pro 2. He is set to battle with some new drivers and some familiar ones he raced against in Pro Lite and Trophy Karts.

Bradley’s rookie season in his Pro 4 was also his return to short course off road racing after breaking his neck. It was a brand new truck in a brand new class for Bradley. It wasn’t quite what he was hoping for, as he was expecting to be able to jump back into a truck and be back to his usual ways of being on the podium multiple times in a single weekend. But now Bradley realizes when you are driving against some of the best drivers, it is not likely to happen right away. It took some time to get used to the truck and a completely different style of driving, than the two wheel drive trucks he grew up racing, but he knew he would be able to get comfortable and make it to the podium soon enough.

Then before you knew it, Bradley was battling with the leaders and then finishing on the podium and having multiple top five finishes. Even with him getting faster each race, in the off season there were major changes that were done to the truck, including the team cutting off the back half of the truck and changing all the cooling configurations for weight distribution. With all the testing that Bradley has done with the new design, everything has gone great. Bradley said, “I am very excited about the changes that we made to the Pro 4. It has helped me dramatically with entry into the turns, and keeping all four tires driving the truck forward.”

Along with the Pro 4, Bradley will be debuting his new Pro 2 at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series season opener in Chandler, Arizona. Bradley grew up racing two wheel drive vehicles starting from the JR Trophy Karts, Modified Karts, Single Buggy, Pro Buggy, and the Pro Lite. Bradley had great success in these classes growing up, and his driving style was very smooth and fast. With the new Pro 2, Bradley will be driving in his natural driving style and is hoping to make great things happen in this class. Bradley said, “ I am very excited to race in a Pro 2, it is something that I have wanted to do since I started racing at age 8. To be able to race in the two premiere classes in short course is crazy. I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point of my racing career, and the great continual support from K&N Filters, Kicker Audio, and Maxxis Tires.”

Bradley is also excited to possibly be the youngest driver to drive in the Pro 4 and Pro 2 classes at the same time. He was originally the youngest driver in Pro Lite, when he first started which has now been beat, and also the youngest in the Pro 4 where many drivers were skeptical. After racing with him they knew he was going to be a clean driver and not do anything reckless. Growing up, Bradley has always set goals for himself in racing and this year is no exception. Bradley is setting some strong goals which he believes are not out of reach, and those goals are to win a race in each class, but hopefully more, and to be consistently in the top five throughout the year. Bradley believes that K&N Filters is going to be a big part of making that happen, because if his motors don’t get clean air and filtered oil to the motor he will not be able to make the power needed to be up front and to make the motor last an entire race. He said he knows they do their job and can focus on the race even while he is being roosted with dirt and mud. So watch out for Bradley to be a top contender in both the premiere classes in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series this year.
