Burt Jenner Wins Race No. 2 at St. Petersburg Grand Prix
California Driver Scores His First SST Race Victory





ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2015) – Burt Jenner captured the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS Stadium SUPER Trucks race No. 2 at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix Sunday, upstaging what was an amazing first race that took place Saturday.

Jenner led nearly the entire race after inheriting the lead from Scotty Steele on lap three, who had mechanical issues and retired from the race. Jenner made the drive to his first SST victory look easy, but it was the battle that took place behind him that was anything but. Venezuelan E.J. Viso in his LIVE/Think Loud Entertainment truck and Alpine, California’s Sheldon Creed in his Traxxas-sponsored truck had a tremendous battle Saturday, and again found themselves side by side for much of Sunday’s final. In fact, while battling for second place on the final lap the two aggressive drivers ended up literally hooked together and almost on top of each other for much of any entire straightaway before getting separated.

While the two battled together, Traxxas’ Keegan Kincaid and SPEED Energy driver Robby Gordon overtook the two and finished second and third respectively. Creed finished fourth and Viso fifth. Mexicali, Mexico’s Lalo Laguna finished sixth in the RPM off-road SST, Charles Dorrance of Austin, Tex. finished seventh in the Three Bears Motorsports/Go Puck SST, Erik Davis of Burbank, Calif. finished eighth in the Always Evolving/RePlay XD truck with Steele of Peoria, Ariz. and Bill Hynes of Nazareth, Penn., each driving LIVE/Think Loud Entertainment trucks, finished night and 10.

“For some of these guys it’s just another win,” said Jenner, whose previous top SST finish was third at Las Vegas in the final race of 2014. “But for me, this is my first win and it’s special, and something they can’t take away from me. It’s something I have been preparing for since I was four years old and proves that I can race with these guys.”

The Stadium Super Trucks will move west for the Long Beach Grand Prix April 17-19 for rounds six and seven of the season-long championship. Viso, Creed and Kincaid took rounds one through three respectively in Adelaide, Australia in February in front of the largest crowd in the history of SST with more than 280,000 receptive Australians.

Following Long Beach, the series will continue to venues with the IndyCar series including the Toronto Grand Prix and the Belle Isle Detroit Grand Prix, X Games Austin, and a variety of stand-alone SST events including Los Angeles, Calif., and several new events in the Southwest.

so does this mean San Diego is out for April ?

Postponed till a later date.

Probably something in my settings I'll have to play around with it . Thanks MK .
Sst was amazing at St. Pete, my top 5 take aways.

1. When a 70 yr old women stands up to take video you know its a legit product.
2. Guy next to my wife yells to her, "have you ever seen anything like this?!!!" and my wife responds "Yup, this id why we came!"
3. Saw Robby coming back after race 2, and he saw me in my Speed gear and gladly took a few moments to take a picture.
4. No merch trailer due to it being in Caly. Speed Energy could of made some legit bucks with just a Black Tent with merchadise.
5. The Traxxas guys and other vendors thought I was with the team. I got a free Speed out of it, not sure if that is sad or awesome. Lol.

P.s. Indy racing is pretty boring, especially after a Creed vs. Viso battle.
That is so TOTALLY AWESOME !!!!
Glad you had a blast .

Here's my glass 7 inches above my head to a new year of the Trucks.................the show down under was GREAT and now a new page....GAS ON
