In addition to sponsoring THE Traxxas Off-Road Championship, Traxxas competes in the TORC Series as the sponsor of the Jenkins Brother Racing team. Mike and Mark Jenkins are no strangers to full-throttle racing, as the pair behind Jenkins Brothers Racing are experienced road racers in the SCCA's Mazda MX-5 Cup series.

Rick Huseman's Monster Energy Toyota Tundra is also supported by team Traxxas. Rick is a powerful force in Pro 4X4.
Traxxas is proud to support six-time Pro Light champ Jeff Kincaid.
Mike and Mark Jenkins' performance improved steadily throughout their first year of short-course racing. By the season's end, Mark had a best finish of fifth place with his Pro 2WD machine, and Mike Jenkins made the podium twice with two third-place finishes behind the wheel of his Pro 4X4 truck. In total, the Jenkins brothers posted sixteen top-10 finishes in their first season of short-course competition. As the 2009 TORC season revs up, Traxxas and Jenkins Brothers Racing look forward to exciting racing and more visits to the podium.
For 2009, Traxxas has three of these Kenworth rigs criss-crossing the country. One hauls the race trucks, another is configured as a rolling workshop with full fabrication capability, and the third is a "Mobile Support Center" that deploys the Traxxas Try-Me track and works as Traxxas Customer Support on wheels.
