SST Announces Changes To The 2013 Schedule

SPEED ENERGY STADIUM SUPER TRUCKS™ SERIES ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO 2013 SCHEDULE

 

CHARLOTTE, NC (June 18, 2013) – Robby Gordon OFF ROAD™ announced today that its Stadium SUPER Trucks™ Series (SST) will make venue and schedule changes that will alter the remainder of its 2013 schedule. Included is the addition of an SST event July 13 and 14 in Toronto.

 

According to series founder Robby Gordon, administering the first six races of the season in a span of only nine weeks was a difficult but rewarding challenge for the Stadium SUPER Trucks Series workers and crew.

“With such an immense undertaking in staging huge events like this around the country, and running six races in nine weeks, the schedule didn’t always allow us to optimize event preparation and race vehicle maintenance,”

 

Gordon said.

“We learned a lot that will help us continue to bring the most exciting brand of motorsports to racing fans everywhere. The improvements in our schedule for 2013 will enhance our program by helping us build our brand and position SST for a great 2014 season and beyond.”

 

New venues include 2 races in Toronto July 13-14 in conjunction with the IndyCar Series; Chicagoland Speedway July 19-20; and Crandon (WI) International Off Road Raceway August 30-Sept.1.

 

More details on the SST race at Toronto will be released later this week.

 

Removed from the original schedule are Chicago’s Soldier Field (June 22); Atlanta’s Georgia Dome (July 6); Dallas Cowboys Stadium (July 13); and the Minneapolis Metrodome (July 20).

 

The series is expected to announce in the coming weeks two additional events west of the Rockies for September and another in October.

 

SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks opened its season in Glendale, Ariz., on April 6th, and recently completed five more races over the following nine-week period that included the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, two events at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, and the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

MJ is working on it lol just talked to lady at Crandon and looks like tickets will be around 40 bucks but hotels are booking up fast .

i suggest you book the hotel and worry about the ticket later and see what promos they may have.

Crandon is in the Wisconsin Northwoods which means thousands of lakes with summer cabins for rent. Pass on the hotel and look for a cabin on a lake and do some fishing, boating, swimming, ....

The new schedule looks almost identical to the Traxxas TORC schedule...are the two merging?

Looks like for Chicago and Crandon they will be racing the same venue, but it appears that's where the dual events end. The new Cali date is a weekend before the TORC season finale.

the release didn't imply a merger.
