Two weeks off in the desert
While many competitors in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series took a weekend off, Lofton returned to his roots to compete in the BlueWater Desert Challenge with the Best in the Desert Off-Road Racing Association in Parker, Ariz. Driving the No. 1577 Lofton Cattle/General Tire/J6 INK/Jimco Racing Inc. Class 1500 Unlimited Buggy, Lofton qualified third in the field of 20, but succumbed to mechanical damage in both days of the two-day competition.
Breast Cancer Awareness Paint Scheme
Supporting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lofton will be running the same pink paint scheme on the No. 6 Lofton Cattle Chevrolet Silverado that the team ran at Talladega, Ala., Superspeedway earlier this month. In what has become a common scene among professional athletes during the month of October.
Still fighting for the championship
As we enter race 19 of 22, Lofton is far from giving up on his bid for the 2012 NCWTS championship. Lofton enters Martinsville, Va., Speedway for the sixth time in his career, ranked seventh in the standings, 86 points behind championship points leader Ty Dillon. In the spring race, Lofton finished in fourth-place.

“Well, after two weeks off and a not so good race in the desert, I’m looking forward to getting back to Martinsville. It’s (Martinsville Speedway) a track that we ran well at back in the spring. We ran third all day, and ended up fourth. So, I hope to at least duplicate that result. I’m coming back with a great short-track truck that the guys at the shop have been working hard on all month. So, I am excited to get back to some NASCAR truck racing.”
