Lofton back to desert “buggy” racing again his weekend:

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Justin Lofton will climb back into the driver’s seat of his #1577 unlimited buggy this weekend in Parker, Arizona for the Best in the Desert Racing Association’s 41st running of the BlueWater Parker 425. The last time he raced his Class 1500 entry in December, he dominated the field after scoring the top qualifying spot and the TransWest Ford Henderson 250 event win. Lofton crossed the finish line with over a 13-minute lead over the rest of the competition. The BlueWater Parker 425 is the first of six BITD off-road events Lofton has scheduled through the 2012 season in addition to the full NCWTS schedule. Following this weekend’s run, Lofton will shift his focus to his #6 College Complete Chevrolet Silverado for the season-opening NCWTS race at Daytona International Speedway on February 24th.(Justin Lofton Racing PR)(2-1-2012)
