Lexus LX 570 JTGrey Racing

For most people Lexus cars are just soft and roly poly cars with lots of leather and wood and a good air condition! So the idea of a Lexus off-road racer is hard to digest for them. Specailly if it’s a Lexus LX! But the fact is that they are quite active in the sport and following a successful year in 2010 they’re coming back for the new season of SCORE Stock Full Championship with a specially prepared LX 570 race car developed for Jeo Becal of JTGrey Racing team. Based on the production Lexus LX 570 V8 the car gets extreme modifications in order to become a full-on off-road monster that’s capable of repeating last year’s magnificent performance that resulted in like six first places and a second. The highlights of the JTGrey’s LX include 37-inch BF Goodrich Baja TA projectrace tires, custom King Racing shocks, Sparco race seats, and nine KC Hilites HID’s. Details and the calendar of events for the Lexus LX 570 JTGrey Racing are as follows: Lexus announced today it will bethe primary sponsor for the JTGrey Racing team and its LX 570 flagship luxury utility vehicle in the quest to win the 2011 SCORE Stock Full Championship. “The JTGrey Racing team demonstrates just how capable, reliable anddurable the Lexus LX 570 is,” said David Nordstrom, vice president of marketing, Lexus division.  “It’s exciting to see the LX 570 conquer therugged and extreme desert terrains with the same nimbleness and dexterity it has when it navigates city streets.  Its off-road mastery combined with its powerful 5.7-liter V8 are sure to be a winning combination again this year.” Last season, sophomore off-road racer Joe Bacal and his JTGrey Racing team piloted the LX 570 to victory taking the 2010 SCORE Stock Full Championship.  Along the way, the team took first place in the SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge, SCORE Terrible’s Las Vegas Primm 300, the MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250, and Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 races.  The team placed second in the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 “Last year the JTGrey team had an unbelievable racing season,” saidBacal.  “We are prepared for the new challenges this season will bring.  We’ll be racing harder and faster with Lexus this year and expect some great finishes in the LX 570.” The JTGrey LX is outfitted with 37-inch BF Goodrich Baja TA projectrace tires, custom King Racing shocks, Sparco race seats, and nine KC Hilites HID’s.  Top Trophy Truck builder Geiser Bros.
