The 2025 AMSOIL Championship Off-Road series has concluded, leaving behind a trail of roost, hard-fought victories and sometimes pure carnage. The series is a proving ground for drivers, teams and AMSOIL products and we witnessed firsthand the power, precision and punishment the machines endure.
This year was a testament to the spirit of off-road racing and the engineering that fuels it. From the season opener to the final checkered flag, drivers pushed the limits across some of the most demanding short-course tracks in the country. Let’s look at some key moments and standout performances that defined a thrilling season of short-course off-road racing.
New Venues, New Challenges
The 2025 AMSOIL Championship Off-Road season welcomed two new stops to its already stacked tour: Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, and Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California. Each brought a distinct set of challenges, testing both drivers and equipment in fresh ways that elevated the competition.
Lucas Oil Speedway, renowned for its state-of-the-art racing facilities, introduced competitors to a technical layout that rewarded both precision and adaptability. The track’s unique combination of tight turns and sweeping sections forced teams to continuously adjust their strategies.
Glen Helen Raceway, a legendary name in West Coast motorsports, expanded the series’ footprint and brought the excitement of short-course back to a region with deep motorsports heritage. Known for its elevation changes and challenging soil composition, Glen Helen demanded creativity and resilience from every team.
These new venues not only broadened the reach of the series, but also the drivers’ abilities to navigate challenging new terrain.
Jimmy Henderson’s Standout Pro 4 Season
Team AMSOIL racer Jimmy Henderson made a significant impact throughout 2025 in the fiercely competitive Pro 4 division. Demonstrating both consistency and determination, Henderson finished second overall in the series standings. He capped off a successful season at Glen Helen Raceway, where he captured victory in both of the final two races.
These strong performances underlined not only his skill and teamwork, but also the protection, performance and reliability provided by AMSOIL DOMINATOR® Synthetic Racing Oil under extremely competitive conditions.
Henderson finished the season with seven wins, including five out of the last six races, a testament to his preparation, tenacity and trust in his equipment on the sport’s toughest tracks.
The Ultimate Proving Ground
Short-course off-road racing is one of the most demanding forms of motorsports. Purpose-built Pro 4 trucks, weighing thousands of pounds and exceeding 900-horsepower, are propelled over massive jumps and through high-speed, rutted-out corners. This combination of high-impact and high-stress operation puts every component to the test, especially the engine and drivetrain.
For AMSOIL, this series is the ultimate laboratory. Our involvement in racing is rooted in a commitment to developing products that excel under the harshest conditions imaginable. Off-road racing subjects our products to extreme heat, intense pressure and constant shearing forces that would break down lesser oils. AMSOIL products are proven to protect the suspension, transmission and engines of elite drivers every lap of every race, demonstrating the superior level of performance and protection our customers can expect in every vehicle they own.
Looking Ahead After a Championship Season
As the roost settles on the 2025 season, we reflect on yet another year of partnership and excitement. AMSOIL Championship Off-Road is the premier stage for short-course off-road racing and AMSOIL reinforces its deep roots in motorsports as the title sponsor.
