Awesome JR loved both the vids .

St. Louis, Mo. (June 8, 2013) – After the first five events primarily on the west coast, SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks brought the 600 hp high flying machines inside the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Mo., for a night of urban off-road action. Rob MacCachren, Aaron Basl, and Sheldon Creed were able to conquer the multiple challenges of the tacky Missouri clay to record wins in Round No. 6 of SST Competition.

Rob MacCachren, of Las Vegas, Nev., driving the No. 21 Traxxas truck made a late race pass to en route to capturing his third SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks win of the season.

The 18-Lap SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks final began from a staggered start and saw first place starter Arie Luyendyk Jr. of Scottsdale, Ariz., jump out to the early lead ahead of SST newcomer Keegan Kincaid.

On Lap-2, the No. 25 Team Arie truck would find trouble completing just one of the corners and slipping back multiple positions. Kincaid would inherit the lead in front of Iron River, Mich., native Nick Baumgartner.

Trouble would find Justin Lofton on Lap-5 as the driver of the Lofton Cattle No. 6 would roll his truck over on the roof.

Kincaid driving the No. 47 Traxxas truck would get crossed up on the restart, allowing Baumgartner to slide by into the top position. Baumgartner’s lead did not last for long as the 15-year old Sheldon Creed would race his No. 74 past Baumgartner just one lap later.

Coming over the finish line jump on Lap-8 Creed would land awkwardly, causing him to drive off track, and collect multiple water barriers handing the lead over to MacCachren.

The red flag would fly for Adrian Cenni on Lap-10 as he would crash hard into the face of the landing coming over the finish line jump. Cenni would be alright, but his truck sustained enough damage to side line him for the rest of the event.

The restart saw Kincaid make a move to the inside of MacCachren for the lead, but would come to a halt coming to the finish line.

Eight place starter Robby Gordon would capitalize on Kincaid’s misfortune by working his way past MacCachren on Lap-12 over taking the lead.

Gordon would lead the next two circuits before bicycling his truck coming to complete Lap-14. The problems did not end there as Gordon’s motor would start to encounter problems in the remaining laps.

MacCachren went on to take the No. 21 Traxxas truck to a Round No.6 victory over of Gordon and Nick Baumgartner.

After the race, an excited MacCachren commented on winning Stadium SUPER Trucks Round No.6;

“St. Louis SST Round No. 6 was incredible the Traxxas truck was fast out of the box, we qualified first, won our heat race, and won the SST Final. It was a though battle with multiple people, and even the track. Every lap you came around the track was changing and deteriorating. Humongous breaking bumps, with large ruts going around the corners where you really had to pay attention and be spot on to not hook a rut and lose time. At the beginning I was being too patient about the lead. I was checking my mirror and didn’t even see Robby there and all of a sudden he was next to me. He ended up bicycling and I drove underneath him. From there we just tried to be smooth and consistent.”

With the victory MacCachren moved back into the points lead by 22 points.

“We got our points lead back from Robby and need to try to increase it as much as we can. After the heat my truck was making a real clunking noise and we couldn’t locate what it was. The call was made to change the transmission and the drive shaft. I need to thank the SST and Traxxas guys for working hard and getting that all changed. These SST races are such a good time, everyone is high fiving afterwards and I’m really having so much fun racing in this series. There are only more good things to happen.’

The Monster Truck Final saw new comer Aaron Basl driving the Graffiti truck defeat Summit Racing Equipment BIGFOOT of Dan Runte in a close matched Chicago style duel.

Sheldon Creed pulling double duty would go on to dominate the 6-Lap SUPER Trophy Kart final ahead of DJ Noerr and third place finisher Matt Baker.

The Inaugural season of SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks continues Saturday night, June 22, in Chicago, Ill., at Soldier Field with a full slate of Stadium SUPER Trucks, Monster Trucks, SUPER Moto and SUPER Trophy Kart racing.

Crowd doesn't look TOO bad . Not SD or LA by no means but still not too bad .
Loving the OLD SCHOOL ORIGINAL BIgfoot in the infield . Really cool since Bigfoot is based I'm St Louis .

Just watched the show and that's what I told my boys...."Orginal Bigfoot.......BADASS"

Would someone PLEASE tell that stupid announcer that NO THERE IS NOT A PENELTY FOR MISSING YOUR HOOD !!! He's been harping on that ALL season and not ONCE has anyone had to come in and replace the hoods . I think we need to replace him with Wardy , at least Wardy knows what the hell he's talking about .

not true MJ, previous rounds in the series a hood was required.becouse of the stadium lay out ,pitting was a challenge.
St Louis has been the best racing so far,IMO

I haven't seen anyone pit for a hood in any of the last rounds . Seems like kinda a stupid rule anyway . Its off road racing . Bumping and banging is a given and with that parts are gonna shed . Show me 1 offroad race
( short course , desert , or stadium ) where at least 1 truck didn't finish a race without some sort of body damage . Its just part of the carnage that is offroad . Lol

Must have only been Phoenix....don't recall any races making drivers pit for hoods, but I think it is a stupid rule anyway

The race was real good. The show was real good. Pit party was cool. Bigfoot only had 3 there and Robby had his Speed there.that was only thing that wasnt good.St.Louis IS NOT INTO ANY RACES.NEVER HAS BEEN.
