The General Tire Jim Beaver Show joins the off-road racing world in mourning the loss of Kyle LeDuc.
The son of the legendary Curt LeDuc, Kyle carved his own impressive legacy over two decades of racing in short course’s biggest events. He turned pro in 2002, won his first Crandon World Championship in Pro Lite in 2003, and his first season-long title the next year. After moving up to Pro 4 in 2008, he became one of the most dominant drivers of a generation, taking seven Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series titles in nine years between 2012 and 2020, hundreds of podiums, multiple Crandon Cup and LOORRS Challenge Cup wins alike, and three Crandon Pro 4 World Championships.
Outside of short course, LeDuc joined Sara Price at Chip Ganassi Racing in Extreme E for that series’ first two seasons. The duo converted a Crazy Race victory in the Island X-Prix into the team’s first race win in July 2022, bringing the team to fourth place in points at year end.
Listen Now: Check out Jim’s first-ever interview with Kyle from November 2012, shortly after Kyle took his first LOORRS Pro 4 title with seven wins and 11 podiums.
