Professional off-road racer Gray Leadbetter and the #28 On Track School/Yokohama/Pepper Palace/Ryan Beat Motorsports Chevrolet continue the busiest stretch of the Championship Off-Road season this weekend at Dirt City Motorplex. Leadbetter returns to Lena fifth in the Pro Lite standings, sitting within striking distance of fourth and establishing herself as the top true rookie in the class.

“We’ve made some great memories at Dirt City over the past few years, so I’m excited to get back to the track this weekend,” said Leadbetter. “We’re getting closer to our first podium in Pro Lite every time we hit the track, and our season-best finish at ERX last time out proves that. We’re hoping that this will be the weekend that we break through and get back on the box!”

As with many tracks on the Champ Off-Road schedule, Leadbetter has a history of success at Dirt City in her time with RBM. In 2022, her Pro SPEC championship-winning season with the team, she took one of her multiple victories on the season; in 2023, she added a second-place finish.

Last year, Champ Off-Road made two visits to Lena, with a season-opening round in May joining the traditional July date. In the May race, Leadbetter debuted her own Pro SXS team, becoming one of the youngest owner-drivers in the sport and opening the campaign with a top 10 finish. In the July event, Leadbetter scored her first top-five finish as an owner-driver with a fifth place on Sunday.
