Gray Leadbetter and #28 On Track School/Yokohama/Pepper Palace/Ryan Beat Motorsports Chevrolet return to Championship Off-Road Pro Lite action this weekend at Bark River International Raceway for the Off-Road Rumble in the U.P. After showing front-running pace at Dirt City Motorplex two weekends ago, Leadbetter enters the series’ lone Michigan round with her sights firmly set on her first podium of the season.

Mechanical issues robbed Leadbetter of podiums on both days at Dirt City, with her running third on Saturday and second on Sunday. While the results sheets told a disappointing story, Leadbetter’s on-track pace—plus an immediate test session at Bark River the day after—have her poised for a strong recovery this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to Bark River!” said Leadbetter. “We were able to get there to test and make a few laps. And felt very good in the truck, since switching from a short, tight slower track to Bark River that is wide open and fast. We’re putting the bad luck behind us for this weekend and are going to push to be up front, we proved we can now we just have to do it.”

Off track, fans have been waiting for Gray to drop merchandise featuring this year’s look, and it’s here just in time for the biggest rounds of the season. Fans on hand at Bark River can pick up Gray Leadbetter T-shirts and hats on site, or click here to get yours online!

“I also now have merch!” Leadbetter continued. “It’s something I’ve been working on all summer and am very excited to get it to everyone, since I’ve been asked for years! I will have it at Bark River and Crandon (inventory depending) but if you’re unable to make it to the races or don’t want to risk missing out, it’s online! So get yours now!”
