KEEGAN KINCAID WINS RACE #2 AT THE SAND SPORTS SUPER SHOW

COSTA MESA, California (Sept. 20, 2014) – Keegan Kincaid started on pole for Saturday’s SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS race, but his path to victory lane in Orange County was anything but smooth sailing for the Crandon, Wisc., off-road driver.

The competition caution at the 20-lap halfway point of the race found Kincaid behind Friday night’s winner and off-road racing legend Robby Gordon. From the start of the race, it was again apparent it would be Gordon’s night as he took the lead from Kincaid within the first 100 feet of the standing start. Kincaid stayed with the veteran Gordon and followed him to the line at the half-way point. Knowing that he would have to drive the best 10-laps of his short SST career, the 24-year-old second-generation driver did just that, and capitalized on an issue Gordon had with his truck to overtake and pass the series founder.

“I was having so much fun out there racing Robby,” Kincaid said to the massive standing-room only crowd at the OC Fair & Event Center. “It was a battle out there and I took the Joker Lane early and it paid off for me and when Robby had an issue with his truck I was able to capitalize on it. All these fans, look at them all, they’re awesome and it’s great to get my first SST win for TRAXXAS.

Following Gordon for third was 16-year-old Scotty Steele who was locked in a battle with two-time-defending Baja 1000 champion B.J. Baldwin. Baldwin, who started last in the field of 11 SST Traxxas trucks and drove to third, took himself out of contention when he drove through the Joker Lane for the second time when only one pass through of the shortcut is permitted. Baldwin was credited with seventh, the last car on the lead lap.

P.J. Jones of Scottsdale, Ariz. came home fourth in the LIVE SST, with Aaron Bambach and his Discount Tires truck finishing fifth. Nick Vanis (IconWraps.com), Baldwin, Apdaly Lopez (RPM Off-Road), Charles Dorrance (Rigid Industries), E.J. Viso (LIVE/Momo) and Burt Jenner (Gladiator) rounded out the field. Jenner, with his famous-father Bruce among the huge crowd, made contact with another truck and cut a tire on the opening lap of the race.

The short course at the OC Fair & Event Center was by all accounts one of the best layouts in the history of the SST series which produced amazing racing and constant action for the capacity crowd. Fans saw a full slate of racing including SST Traxxas trucks, class 1400 trucks, SPEED Energy Supermoto bikes, trophy karts and UTVs on the dirt and asphalt surface.

“These trucks and the solid crop of drivers we have here put on a great show,” series promoter and founder Gordon said. “I think these Southern California fans here tonight saw the type of show these drivers and trucks put on we look forward to building this series and continuing to bring it to people all over the country.”

Race No. 3 of the SST weekend will be held 90 miles south Sunday afternoon on Naval Air Station North Island (San Diego) as part of the Coronado Speed Festival.

Robby Gordon Takes TRAXXAS SST Race 1 at Orange County

COSTA MESA, California (Sept. 19, 2014) – On a night when 11 Stadium Super Truck (SST) drivers returned to the series’ roots in Southern California, it was the massive jumps and high speeds the race track produced that stole the show at the OC Fair and Event Center Friday night.

Robby Gordon took advantage of the rough driving and tight racing the twisting track produced and captured victory in the first of two races to be held at the Sand Sports Super Show.  The second race of the triple-header weekend for the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS series is tonight at the OC Fair and Event Center.  Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing starting at 6 p.m.  Tickets are available at the gate for $25 for adults and children 12 and under and military tickets $15.  Race No. 3 of the weekend will be held 90 miles south on Sunday afternoon on Naval Air Station North Island (San Diego) as part of the Coronado Speed Festival.

After a series of qualifying and heat races, Friday’s race – which featured the entire field on DOT approved Toyo A/T tires – saw B.J. Baldwin start on pole for the 24-lap final race.  Baldwin held the lead for much of the first half of the race before contact from Venezuela’s E.J. Viso caused both drivers to give up critical positions to Gordon.  The smooth-driving Gordon inherited the lead and was never seriously challenged for the remainder of the event and ran mistake free in victory.  TRAXXAS-driver Keegan Kincaid fought through tight racing from second through fourth positions and came home second.  Viso, driving the LIVE/Momo SST recovered for third with Burt Jenner in the Gladiator entry coming home fourth.

Arizona’s Scotty Steele was fifth followed by Aaron Bambach in the Discount Tires TRAXXAS truck.  Charles Dorrance from Texas in the Rigid Industries truck, Baldwin in the King Shocks truck, X Games winner Apdaly Lopes in his RPM Off-Road entry and Nick Vanis in the Iconwraps truck rounded out the field.  Bill Hynes in the LIVE SST truck was involved in a single-truck accident in the final heat race and did not start the final.

“Our guys built a great race course that can be seen from every seat in the house, which puts on a great show for the fans,” Gordon said.  “This is what Stadium Super Trucks is all about – high speeds, big jumps and tight racing.”

Las Vegas’ Baldwin, took everything in stride after being the recipient of Viso’s bumper that took him out of the lead.  “It is what it is,” the calm driver said.  “If that’s the way people want to race, that’s how we’ll race.  We had a good run going and know we were fast in the King Shocks truck and we’ll go after them again Saturday.”

The race track the SST staff built features sweeping high-speed turns, a difficult sand pit section on the front stretch in front of the grandstands and a massive jump that takes trucks over another section of the race track with trucks passing underneath.  The track was built adjacent to the Sand Sports Super Show which bills itself as the “world’s biggest sand sports expo.”

Toronto SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas Broadcast Set For July 31

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 30, 2014) – NBCSN will broadcast Rounds 10 & 11 of the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas from the Toronto Grand Prix tomorrow (Thursday, July 31) at 10:00 p.m. PDT making it 1:00 a.m. (Friday, August 1st) for our fans on the East Coast.

Sheldon Creed Wins Race 1 at Toronto in SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas

toronto_sat_2TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (July 19, 2014) – After winning last season at Toronto, Sheldon Creed of Alpine, Calif. picked up where he left off in the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS series by winning again on the picturesque downtown street circuit in Canada.

Creed’s TRAXXAS-sponsored truck fought alongside fellow 16-year-old Scotty Steele’s machine for most of the race until Steele made a late mistake on the final lap, which relegated him to a third-place finish, allowing Robby Gordon to inherit second.

Creed started last in the field given that he missed the pre-race driver’s meeting, but drove a steady smart race in the rain to pass every truck in the field en route to victory.

“The difference in driving on asphalt and concrete was incredible,” Creed said referring to the wet, slick conditions. “Scotty was great on the concrete, and when we came off the asphalt his truck just took off. I’ve made a couple of late mistakes in these races and thrown a few away, and I wasn’t going to do it again. I just took my time and didn’t over drive the truck.”

Michigan’s Aaron Bambach came home fourth in his 3deminsional.com truck, with Mexico’s Apdaly Lopez finishing fifth after not getting any practice during Friday’s session where he crashed in turn one of lap one of the session. Toronto’s Paul Tracy fell victim to the wet conditions early in the race and came in sixth, as did Bill Hynes from Nazareth, Pa. in the Freaks for LIVE truck who finished seventh.

NBCSN will broadcast the race at 10 p.m. PDT on July 31 (1 a.m. EDT Aug. 1). Following its trip to Toronto, the series will shift to the west coast for its final three races of the 2014 season at the Sand Sport Super Show in Orange County, Calif. Sept. 19-20; the Coronado Speed Festival Sept. 21 and in Las Vegas in conjunction with the SEMA Show in early November.

The Stadium Super Trucks that will compete in a second race in Toronto Sunday will jump 36-inch tall man-made ramps at more than 100 mph at multiple locations throughout the downtown street circuit hurling drivers nearly 20 feet in the air and 150 feet down course. The series features identically prepared trucks which are made to resemble their scaled-down Traxxas radio-control-car counterparts. Like their Traxxas namesake the trucks are designed to take flight. However, unlike RC trucks, they produce 600 horsepower generating speeds upwards of 130 miles per hour and race on DOT approved Toyo Tires.

About SPEED® Energy Formula Off-Road presented by TraxxasInfluenced by the former Mickey Thompson Stadium Off-Road Racing Series, where driver’s such as Gordon, Casey Mears and six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson got their start, Gordon created Stadium SUPER Trucks to capitalize on the public’s overwhelming interest in trucks and SUVs as well as the fact that the majority of automotive aftermarket parts are marketed for trucks.

SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS Returns to the Track at the Honda Indy Toronto

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (July 15, 2014) – Following its hugely successful debut at X Games Austin, the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS series returns to competition at the Honda Indy Toronto this weekend.

The TRAXXAS trucks will be making their way to the popular Toronto IndyCar circuit for the second consecutive year after debuting in great style in 2013. The trucks will race twice in Toronto – at 2:20 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday – just as they did last season when Justin Lofton and Sheldon Creed won races on the 1.755-mile (2.84 km) circuit.

The Honda Indy Toronto track is an 11-turn temporary street course located in downtown Toronto. It is constructed throughout and around picturesque Exhibition Place grounds and utilizes Lake Shore Boulevard as its backstretch.
Creed will return to defend his race win from 2013, along with multiple-time 2014 winners Apdaly Lopez and Robby Gordon among others.

The Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS series’ only practice session takes place Friday at 11:50 a.m., which will determine starting positions for Saturday’s race. Fastest lap times from Saturday’s race will determine the lineup for Sunday’s race.

NBCSN will broadcast the race at 10 p.m. PDT on July 31 (1 a.m. EDT Aug. 1). Following its trip to Toronto, the series will shift to the west coast for its final three races of the 2014 season at the Sand Sport Super Show in Orange County, Calif. Sept. 19-20; the Coronado Speed Festival Sept. 21 and in Las Vegas in conjunction with the SEMA Show in early November.

The Stadium Super Trucks that will race in Toronto will hit huge man-made ramps at more than 100 mph at multiple locations throughout the downtown street circuit hurling drivers nearly 20 feet in the air and 150 feet down course. The series features identically prepared trucks which are made to resemble their scaled-down Traxxas radio-control-car counterparts.
