Biography

California-native Justin Lofton began racing mountain bikes at an early age but a broken femur kept him sidelined for over a year before he made the move to off-road.  Lofton first moved to the Colorado Hill Climb Association competing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb before following in his father’s footsteps and entering his first BITD race in 2004.  He quickly found success in Class 1000 competition, earning three wins and rookie-of-the-year honors.  Lofton then moved to ARCA where he was crowned champion in 2009 and then onto NASCAR’s Truck Series where he’s raced since 2010.  In 2012 Lofton returned to desert action where he will run a full BITD schedule in a Class 1500 Unlimited Buggy in addition to his full-time NASCAR Truck Series ride.  Lofton will certainly be a contender for the championship in 2012.
