Since its inception in 2003, the Jimmy Babcock Racing League traveling points series in Southern California has hosted some of the world's fastest racers at many of the region's premier tracks. Thousands of drivers of all levels have attended rounds at their home tracks, and many commit to the whole series for a chance at a chunk of the prize purse, terrific giveaway prizes, and the opportunity to run the #1 plate.

Team Losi Racing served as the series' title sponsor for twelve years, with a February 3 announcement that the relationship had ended. For both the nitro and electric series in 2016, Team Associated has signed on as the title sponsor of the JBRL for the first time. Here's what each party said about the deal.

Team Associated and Reedy are excited to join forces with Jimmy Babcock and the JBRL in 2016. Our drivers have enjoyed many years of racing success in the JBRL and together we have experienced first-hand what a great series Jimmy and his crew put on.

When the opportunity to step up and take on the title sponsor of the series was offered, we were all over it. With 16 rounds of Nitro and Electric off road racing set for the 2016 season, the stage is set for a great year of racing!
