Arthur eyes championship in new race series

After winning the first two rounds in this year’s Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Ramona’s Brandon Arthur will compete in the third round April 23 and 24 at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park.

The 20-year-old is working toward his goal of a racing series championship. Last year he took second in the series and was the Pro Lite Challenge cup champion. The 2016 season started March 19 and 20 at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz., where Arthur, known as “The Stinger,” was the fastest in practice and qualifying, as well as the competition in the Pro Lite class. An accomplished mechanic, Arthur does his own work on the truck between races and spent hours refining it in the off season. For more about his racing, see brandonarthurracing.com.
