Lucas Oil needs no introduction. There might be some of you out there who haven’t heard of American Powertrain, but you have to live under a rock not to know who Lucas Oil is. Hell, they are everywhere. Whether it is Drag Racing, Boat Racing, Motorcycles, Trucks and Off-Road, Tractors, or Dirt Track, they have got cars running Lucas Oil banners and are in some way or another responsible for the television broadcasts of these races. That’s why Lucas has been a supporter of BangShift.com’s LIVE drag racing broadcasts in the past, and now has come on as a fulltime sponsor here at BangShift.com. We couldn’t be happier about it either. What does this mean for you?

Well, it means that Lucas Oil will be a part of our LIVE broadcasts, that we will be working on adding more LIVE broadcasts, and that all of our projects will use Lucas Oil. In fact, you can expect to see some cool oil testing on the dyno at Westech, and maybe even some lab tests. We’ve been lucky enough to visit Lucas Oil’s lab here in Corona, and also their large scale manufacturing plant in Indiana and can tell you both are very impressive.

We are also looking at other creative and cool projects and videos with Lucas for 2012, so stay tuned for some fun. As some of you may know, Lucas Oil has it’s own production department, and owns MAV TV, so expect more and more great coverage of races and such throughout the year as well. We will do our best to meet up with them at some race and crash the party. Maybe you’ll get to see Chad and Brian on TV, even if it is the 5 o’clock news footage of them running from the cops in a Super Stock Alice Chalmers tractor! Screw you Brian, I’m driving.

For those of you who think the only thing Lucas makes is additives for your oil or fuel system, here is a brief list of what they have to offer. To see the complete, mind boggling, list of products from Lucas Oil, visit www.LucasOil.com

Lucas Oil Products

Motor Oil, Truck Oil, Racing Oil, Tractor Oil, Break In Oil, Assembly Lube, Valvetrain Grease, Wheel Bearing Grease, Gear Oil, Shock Oil, Chain Lube, Motorcycle Oil, Penetrant, Air Tool Oil, Cleaners, Car Car Products, ATF, Oil Additives, Power Steering Fluid, Fuel Additives, Octane Booster (that actually works!), Marine Oils and Lubricants, Fifth Wheel Lube, Hydraulic Fluid, Gun Oil, and more. The cool thing is how they make it all, which you will see later this year, although when we did our tour of the Indiana plant with Forest Lucas he was very specific on not letting us see the recipes. They mix it all, bottle it all, and it is really a cool deal. Plus, the building is big enough to run a drag race in. Rumor has it Morgan did a burnout in it with his fueler before they moved in all the equipment. We would seriously dig that.

Please check out Lucas’ website, and tell them thanks for supporting us here at BangShift. It matters to us, and means a lot. Also, check out some of their cool videos below.
