RUSTY WALLACE TO COMPETE IN OFF-ROAD TRUCK RACE AT X GAMES

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace will briefly return to competition by driving in Off-Road Truck Racing at the upcoming X Games.

Wallace retired from NASCAR competition after the 2005 season, and has periodically been back in a race car, including a test session in Brad Keselowski's Sprint Cup car at Daytona in 2014.

But the X Games in Austin held June 5-7 will be the 58-year-old Wallace's first time competing in Off-Road Truck Racing. His truck will be sponsored by Jimmy John's.

The Off-Road Truck racing competition will feature identically-prepared 600-horsepower trucks, all leased from Robby Gordon.

The trucks reach speeds up to 120 mph and hit man-made ramps at multiple locations throughout the course. The Baja-style race trucks will negotiate the seven-turn course made of both dirt and asphalt.

Yeah I posted cause some people STILL don't get.
Boris Said is an interesting addition.

my bad,I failed to mention that. I have not seen that confirmed.Maybe TOG can update us ,now that the team is back.

He's on the Xgames website, listed under off road trucks. Not officially confirmed, but a good indication.

Well I guess those that "can't" promote those that "can" promote and drive the wheels off that Mother Fucker! Bite it Martelli...

I believe with this years X-Games "Off-Road Truck Racing" event ... ESPN is the promoter ... and Robby is just supplying the trucks ...

The Off-Road Truck racing competition will feature identically prepared 600-horsepower trucks, all leased from Robby Gordon.

There's no RGM title-ment branding ... is it even an SST championship points race ... with a purse ?

Whoosh!.....Really?...nite all

Sad part is the Martellis USUALLY write and produce some really good stuff . Idk why they shit the bed on this article .

As Robby would put it ... it's business ... don't take it personally ... jeje

IMO it seems like Matt wrote the article trying to make everybody happy. Look at the bright side, we to see Boris try to get into an SST. Looking forward to a great show with lots of exposure ...
That's what I thought too JR , maybe trying to be politically correct ?

Boris is just cool! Gotta get a Boris wig to put on my bald head and drink some Speed to watch this race. I can't wait.
