In 2011, MavTV was purchased by Lucas Oil Products, a company which has grown from a single product company into an international powerhouse in the lubricant and motorsports industries. Lucas Oil is employing similar strategies to transform MavTV into a premier cable network that delivers the highest quality HD programming possible.
