Who is Forrest Lucas?
Forrest Lucas was born in Ramsey, Indiana on February 13, 1942. Forrest grew up on a farm in Elkinsville with his parents, Marie and Raymond, and three sisters in “rural deprivation.” Lucas worked with pigs and cows before and after school, and at the age of 15, he left his family’s farm to work at a Harrison County cattle ranch. He has stated that after high school, he “went to a long college called Hard Knocks.”
In 1989, Forrest Lucas and his wife Charlotte started Lucas Oil to produce better oil products for their truck fleet. The items quickly became popular, and the company expanded rapidly. The corporation is significantly involved in motorsports, sponsoring a number of racing teams.
Lucas Oil agreed to buy the naming rights to what is now known as Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in 2008. The naming rights to this stadium, which is home to the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, reportedly cost Lucas Oil $120 million.

Lucas has produced 13 films, including “The Dog Lover” (2016), “Running Wild” (2017), “Pray for Rain” (2017), “Bennett’s War” (2019), “Wheels of Fortune” (2020), and “Born a Champion” (2021), and he has acted in two of them, “Pray for Rain” and “Bennett’s War.”

Forrest and his wife, Charlotte, started Lucas Oil in 1988. The company makes and distributes automotive oil, lubricants, and additives, and it has sponsored a number of racing teams in motorsports. Over 30,000 auto parts outlets sell Lucas Oil products.
