Hart and Huntington 2009 Accolades and Accomplishments
2009 has shown to be a new era of short course off road racing. The birth of two spin off sanctioning bodies has spawned a new breed of racers. The competition is thick with fresh talent and seasoned veterans. Well rounded marketing combined with competent TV Packages serves sponsors great exposure and value to support race teams while collaborating with event organizers.
Premiere Motorsports Group aligned with Rockstar Energy, Hart and Huntington, and a host of supporting partners, began the season with a goal and initiative to develop a top notch professional motorsport organization and race competitively in all divisions of short course off road racing. Since day one of the 2009 season, this professional motorsports team has claimed their programs as contenders for victories and championships.
Premiere Motorsports Group has proven their commitment to the sport with an umbrella organization supporting 7 separate programs, 10 race cars, and 7 individual drivers. To average motorsport programs, that may seem like too much to juggle and draw focus from the main objectives. However with well organized strategies in place, the structured operation consistently finished in the top 3 ultimately achieving a total of 46 podiums in this season alone. On top of the marvelous accumulation of 1st , 2nd, and 3rd place finishes, the Premiere Motorsports Group was awarded these significant achievements by their peers of the short course industry.

Premiere Motorsports Group Team Leader Ryan Busnardo described his thoughts at the close of the 2009 Lucas Oil Off Road Season. “It has been a real learning curve. We poured all our resources into getting this train rolling and fueling the steam all season. Here we are at the end of the year with 46 podiums and it feels like we were on the verge of something huge. I am stoked for the future of short course off road racing. I have to give special thanks to our wonderful sponsors and all of the fans for their support throughout the season. It could not be done without them”
