The Beginning: Gerard Lopez Enters Off-Road Racing | Silver State 300

2026 Silver State 300 | Welcome To Off-Road // Gerard Lopez What started as a passion for motorsports has quickly turned into a full commitment to off-road racing. Gerard Lopez and GL27 Racing are stepping into desert racing with one goal — learn, grow, and compete alongside some of the best in the sport. For the 2026 season, Gerard has teamed up with Brenthel Industries, working closely with their program from race truck support and development to building a custom prerunner designed for testing, seat time, and preparing for the realities of desert racing. Having the support, knowledge, and experience behind the Brenthel team brings a level of confidence few new drivers get entering this world. The journey to the Silver State 300 is more than race day. It’s long hours, preparation, learning the truck, understanding the terrain, and building relationships with a team committed to performance. Huge thank you to the partners helping make this possible: • Vanguart • Oakley • New Balance • Lydian • Cointelegraph • TRT • Marina Raceway • And the growing list of supporters behind GL27 Racing This is only the beginning. Follow along as we document the process — from truck builds, testing, prerunning, race prep, wins, setbacks, and everything in between throughout the 2026 season. Appreciate everyone supporting the journey. See you in the desert. — Gerard Lopez / GL27 Racing #SilverState300 #OffRoadRacing #BrenthelIndustries #DesertRacing #GL27 #Vanguart #TrophyTruck #RaceTruck #OffRoad #Motorsports #Brenthel #SilverState #RacingJourney
