Robert "Bob" Patison is President of MAVTV Motorsports Network as well as Executive Vice-President and General Counsel of Lucas Oil Products, Inc. His corporate responsibilities also include overseeing Lucas Oil Production Studios and Team Lucas marketing and advertising programs.
Under Patison’s corporate and legal oversight and as the number two executive to Forrest Lucas, Lucas Oil Products, Inc has become the world leader in the production of high performance lubricants and problem solving additives. The company boasts the largest variety of shelf products of any oil company in the United States, retailing at more than 30,000 auto parts stores nationwide and at every truck stop in America. Now in its 25th year, Lucas Oil has two major plants in the United States, the original one, a converted lemon juice factory in Corona, California, which also houses Lucas Oil Corporate Headquarters, Lucas Oil Production Studios, Team Lucas and MAVTV, plus a state-of-the-art 350,000 square foot facility in Corydon, Indiana.
A longtime member of the State Bar of California, Patison graduated from Western State College of Law in Fullerton, California in 1984 and entered private practice joining a now defunct local law partnership as a junior partner. Among the law partnership’s smaller clients were the legal needs of Forrest and Charlotte Lucas, who were transitioning out of the long-haul trucking business. Patison was so successful that all the Lucas corporate legal business landed on his desk including the founding of Lucas Oil Products, Inc., in 1985. Lucas hired Patison to oversee Lucas Oil corporate operations and become second in command of the rapidly expanding company in 1994.
Team Lucas is the result of over two decade’s worth of planning, extensive market research, and some trial by and error by Lucas Oil culminating in the launch of the Team Lucas program in 2007. Since then, Team Lucas has been deeply involved in the branding of grassroots motorsports nationwide. Team Lucas allows companies direct access to affordable motorsports exposure with both an on-site race event presence plus hundreds of hours of national television that reaches millions of consumers each year. Current Team Lucas partnerships include Auto Meter; Bilstein Shocks; E3 Spark Plugs; FRAM; GEICO; General Tire; iON Shoot/Share Cameras; Kawasaki; KMC Wheels; K&N Filters; LoanMart; Loctite; Mickey Thompson Tires; Optima Batteries; Rockstar Energy Drink; Speedco; SuperClean; Tonka and Toyota.
