It tours throughout the United States featuring professional four and two-wheel-drive Trophy Trucks along with a Pro Light class.

[1] It was sanctioned and officiated by the United States Auto Club (USAC) since its inception.

The series was founded in time for the 2009 season by former motocross racer and Motorcycle Hall of Fame member Ricky Johnson as the Traxxas TORC Series[5] after hosting an off-road racing event at his Perris Auto Speedway in 2008.

There were two large sanctioning bodies in short course off-road racing for 2008: CORR and WSORR.

[5] CORR closed before the end of the 2008 season and canceled its final two racing weekends.

One of The Armory's first acts was securing an exclusive 5-year agreement landing the series championship weekend at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway starting in 2014, ensuring no competing sanctions can race at the track.

[8] MSI immediately announced adding sportsman racing back under its sanction starting in 2016.

[11] The Sportsman division later was later dropped by TORC and a separate entity named Midwest Off Road Racing (MORR) was created to sanction those trucks.

[8] Other drivers to compete for TORC championships include: Brian Deegan, Chad Hord, Jarit Johnson, Scott Taylor and Olympian Nick Baumgartner.

Bobby Gerould and National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Brady Doty were the broadcast host and PXP announcers while noted motorsports broadcaster Tony Bokhoven was the Pit Reporter.
