Chris Brandt at 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
When Chris Brandt returned to off road racing in 2006, he never imagined his privateer team, Premier Motorsports, would be competing for a championship so quickly. But with just five events remaining in the 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Brandt's career year has him poised to capture the Pro Lite Unlimited Championship.
Brandt's No. 82 Hart and Huntington Toyota
Brandt's No. 82 Hart and Huntington Toyota sits second in points, just two behind leader Marty Hart, heading into this weekends event at Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, AZ. So far, Brandt has three victories in 2010. But the team has struggled to put a solid weekend together.
"So far we've had one good day of racing and one bad day of racing during the race weekend," said the native of Sioux City, Iowa. "The biggest hurdle we've had has been an issue with the oil system, but we think we have that covered now."
In 1999, Brandt made the jump from racing in local off road series' to the now defunct Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) series, where he beat out now off road legend Carl Renezeder for the 1999 Rookie of the Year award. Brandt tallied four wins, and finished third and second in points in his two year CORR career before retiring at the end of the 2000 season to focus on the family business.
In 2006, Brandt came back with a goal of developing his team into a championship contender, and this year, all of the pieces seem to be falling in line. Brandt feels like his team is poised to take the championship now that it has solved all of its mechanical problems.
"I feel really good about the rest of the season. Now that we got the oil system fixed, we can just go and focus on winning rounds and that will let the points take care of itself," Brandt added.
Brandt's team has used high performance K&N Filters all season long to keep his Goodwin Competition Engine's powered truck running at optimum performance levels despite the dirty nature of his sport.
"We use K&N oil and air filters. Using nothing but the best products from a company like K&N gives us the cutting edge technology needed to run up front with the bigger teams in the very competitive Pro Lite class."

K&N sponsored Payne says three pulls in two days only happens once year, but two wins and a third, and the fans cheering makes it all worthwhile.
Jonathon Payne, owner of team Major Payne Pulling, and his 2005 Ford Ranger with a 485 cubic inch big block Ford engine, recently pulled some overtime. On Friday, at an Illiana Pullers Association event at Hoopeston, Illinois, Payne took first place. Then, with very little time for celebration, he packed it up and drove to another Illiana sponsored event at Earl Park in Indiana, where on Saturday he competed twice, winning once and placing third in the other.
Major Payne Pulling has now won the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Pro Stock 4x4 points race for the second year in a row.
"It is very unusual to have three pulls in two days. It only happens once a year," commented Payne.
"Three pulls in a row, 240 miles away from home and my shop, means I need to anticipate and be prepared for any problems. Thankfully all I had to do is charge batteries, add fuel, and adjust the clutch. It's the tuck pulling fans cheering after the pull that really stands out in my mind, and that is what makes it worth the 240 miles drive."
To briefly recap, the sport of truck and tractor pulling is a contest of hi-performance vehicles "pulling" a weight transfer device, known as a "sled" on a purposely built course, or "the track." The track is normally 300 feet long, 30 feet wide and constructed of the most readily available dirt. The contestants in each class hook their vehicles to the sled to see whose vehicle can pull the sled the farthest.
"I have had what I consider a very successful pulling season, winning the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Pro Stock 4x4 points race for the second year in a row," says a humble, understated Payne. He has in fact won eight times, finished second five times, with six thirds, three fourths and one fifth place finish.
There are only two sanctioned pulls left this season, both with the Battle of the Bluegrass Pulling Series. The first is September 25th at Anderson County Park in Lawrenceburg Kentucky and the other on October 16th at Lincoln County Fairground in
Stanford, Kentucky.
Payne adds "I would like to thank K&N for their continuing support and sponsorship and for their high quality filters. I rely on K&N products in my daily driver, tow vehicle and my pulling truck every time I leave my house."
