Bark River, MI - STEEL-IT® Brand Coatings, a leader in high-performance anti-corrosion solutions, celebrates the remarkable achievements of our race ambassador, Trey Gibbs, who has secured the 2024 Champion Off-Road Pro Lite division title. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the season is still ongoing, yet his championship is already guaranteed. Trey's exceptional performance throughout the season has firmly established him as one of the sport's top competitors, and STEEL-IT is proud to have supported him on this journey.
In the 2023 season, Trey Gibbs delivered an outstanding performance, finishing 2nd in points and narrowly missing the championship title. His relentless determination and unmatched skill have driven him to excel throughout the 2024 season, making his success all the more extraordinary.
Trey’s dominance was evident in multiple victories, including an exciting four-race winning streak that began with a commanding performance at Crandon in Round 5. His consistent podium finishes at venues like ERX Motor Park and Dirt City highlight his relentless pursuit of excellence in the challenging Pro Lite division. Competing against top national talent, Trey's ability to rise above the competition has set him apart as a true champion.
STEEL-IT's partnership with Trey Gibbs goes beyond sponsorship; it is rooted in a shared commitment to innovation and performance. Trey's use of STEEL-IT products has been instrumental in his success on the track, providing the durability and reliability required to thrive in the demanding world of off-road racing. "I use STEEL-IT polyurethane Coatings on all the raw metal parts of the truck," says Trey Gibbs.
"STEEL-IT has significantly enhanced our program with its ability to withstand the harsh conditions we subject our equipment to daily. Its fully weldable properties without any prep work save our team valuable time, allowing us to quickly turn the truck around for the next event. This is especially critical during race weekends with back-to-back race days, practice, and qualifying. It’s a frantic pace, but STEEL-IT enables us to work rapidly and efficiently."
“We were thrilled to see Trey clinch the championship title even before the end of the season,” said Michael Faigen, President & CEO of STEEL-IT. “We think it’s critical to give back to a sport that has shown our coatings such deep support. It’s even more satisfying to be represented by a phenom like Trey!”
The benefits of STEEL-IT in off-road racing are numerous. Its advanced formula offers superior anti-corrosion protection, essential for vehicles enduring rugged terrains and extreme conditions. The spray-on coating is ideal for quick touch-ups, during race preparations throughout the season, and significant off-season upgrades. The weldable stainless-steel formula is particularly valuable, enabling rapid repairs and modifications without compromising the coating’s integrity.
Trey’s journey to the top of the Pro Lite division has been marked by a series of impressive accomplishments, from his early days in entry-level classes to his rise as a national pro-level competitor. His short course racing career includes multiple championships and world titles at the iconic Crandon International Raceway. As Trey prepares for the 2024 Crandon World Championships, he continues to build on a legacy of excellence that defines his career.
Trey Gibbs expanded his racing career by debuting in the 6100 Spec Truck class at the 2024 King of the Hammers desert race.
He impressed with a strong 7th place finish in his first race, followed by an even better 4th place in his second race. STEEL-IT is proud to support Trey as he takes on these exciting new challenges!
