With the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season behind him, Justin Lofton, driver of the#6 CollegeComplete.com Chevrolet Silverado for Eddie Sharp Racing will be back behind the wheel of a race vehicle this weekend. Lofton, who just closed out the NCWTS season 14th in the driver point standings, will pilot a Class 1500 Buggy in Henderson, Nevada this Saturday, December 3rd, in the Best in the Desert Racing Association’s season finale. On Saturday, Lofton’s class will compete on an 80-mile loop three times, totaling 240 miles. He will have a new navigator on board for this event, as Justin Santz will strap in for the ride. Santz usually navigates for Robbie Pierce, driver of the#30 Trophy Truck. Though he now races full-time within NASCAR competition, Lofton’s early racing career saw him earn the BITD Rookie of the Year honors (2004), along with three wins in the Desert Buggy Class, and the Class 1000 championship. And although the NASCAR season is over and Lofton will be focusing on his desert run this weekend, he will still have support from his crew chief at ESR, as Dan Bormann is making the trip to be on hand for the event.
