Brad and Roger Lovell combined to enter and race in 27 events in 2010 and recently hit their 11th event in as many weeks. From rock racing to the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, the brothers accomplished quite a bit this summer. The last event, however, returned the Colorado natives to their roots: rock crawling. The We-Rock Grand Nationals were hosted by Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Brad Lovell guided the #232 AMSOIL/Ford Ranger around the highly technical course with the complete
confidence in Roger’s guidance. On the first course, the truck got wedged into a notch and twisting the drive shaft. They were able to finish the course, but more bad luck found them on the second course. This time, the #232 found itself on its hood after a carefully planned maneuver went wrong. Despite early troubles, they duo found their confidence and scored the lowest on four of the next six courses.
Heading into the final round in fourth and had to have a perfect run to get back into podium contention. The first two sets of gates were an insane cross-sloped hump that already spilled two trucks down the rocks. The Lovell's were forced to formulate a plan on the fly and narrowly perched the Ranger on top of a tall slope. They then shimmied clear of the cones and let the BFG's grab hold and not let go when just an inch of slip would have rolled the truck 20’ down the course. They got back on track and 
climbed from eighth to finish third and received another Torchmate constructed trophy for the effort.
"It wasn’t the repeat championship that we hoped for but a strong finish and a positive end to the season," said Brad Lovell. "I feel privileged to have raced all over the country in a wide variety of disciplines – desert, rock racing, hillclimbs, short course, and rockcrawling. In fact, my mind is still racing with crashes, near misses, and plenty of zero gravity moments. I am very grateful and humbled to all those who helped our team."
The team does have one more event to go in 2010. Brad will be heading south of the border for the Baja 1000 in mid-November, navigating the Torchmate/AMSOIL Class 7 truck in the epic race from Ensenada to La Paz.

Until then, we'll see you at the races.
