    About

    Forrest Lucas launched his business in 1989 with a single goal: fix leaking seals on high-mileage engines. The company started as a small operation in California before expanding its catalog to include motor oils, transmission fluids, and fuel treatments. Today the brand remains family-led and operates globally while maintaining strong ties to grassroots racing communities.

    The company built its reputation not through traditional advertising but by sponsoring major racing events. Lucas Oil became synonymous with drag racing, off-road competitions, and dirt track events across the United States. Their presence at venues like the Lucas Oil Raceway near Indianapolis transformed the facility into a pilgrimage site for motorsport fans.
