USST SUPER TRUCKS SET FOR FRIDAY NIGHT VISIT
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (May 11) - After a week off due to a rainout, weekly racing
returns to Hawkeye Downs Speedway this Friday night, May 15. The USST Super
Trucks are the featured event this week as they join the Barron Motor Supply
IMCA Stock Cars, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, Hawkeye Downs IMCA
SportMods, Sunline Hornets, and for the first time as part of the Friday
night program in quite some time, Two-Man cruisers.
The USST Super Trucks Challenge Series event combines the USST Northern and
Southern Series for the first time this season. Each division has run one
event so far this season with Thomas Roney of Crystal Lake, IL winning a May
2 event at Dells Raceway Park (Wisconsin Dells, WI) in the Northern
Division.
Brandon Lollis of Altus, OK won the first Southern Series event of the
season at Altus Speedway (Altus, OK) on April 25.
In their only previous appearance at Hawkeye Downs, Roney won the Budweiser
Mid-AM Sportsmen/USST Challenge race which combined the trucks with the
Hawkeye Downs Sportsmen.
An excellent field of USST Super Trucks is expected Friday night as the USST
Challenge Series moves on to Iowa Speedway in Newton (IA) on Saturday.
Fans of the USST Super Trucks can catch the action live on www.1600espn.com
