Following their victory with JTGrey Racing team at 2010 SCORE Stock Full Championship, they’re coming back for the new season with a new LX 570 off-road racer.

Lexus of course is not the first name that springs to mind when thinking about off-road capability, but they actually know how to make such cars. And the proof for that is the respectable performance of the team last season which included 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 and second place in the Tecate SCORE Baja 500.

The modifications that the V8-powered luxury LX 570 has received in order to become a tough racer include 37-inch BF Goodrich Baja TA projectrace tires, custom King Racing shocks, Sparco race seats, and nine KC Hilites HID’s.

“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.”
