RACING:
Qualifying was exciting, with many trucks having trouble rolling off of the bridge at the end. Here are the top qualifiers:
Landon Harrison once again found himself in the top spot, but Jeremy Waring and Bounty Hunter were right behind him. After that the only two people within two seconds of them were Robby Haught's Skitso 5 and Johnel Everett's Blue Thunder. Remember, Robby and Johnel met in the finals here last year. Let's see how the action played out...
ROUND 1 HIGHLIGHTS
As racing got underway it was obvious that Landon and Jeremy's qualifying runs were no fluke; they advanced easily. Eric Thiele made a wise decision and hopped out of Sesame Street Live and into the brand new Monster Mutt truck. Eric was eliminated but the truck was fine, so he could come back for freestyle.
In Jeremy's first-round matchup, Robbie Milburn and Rare Breed was running pretty close with him until a crooked jump over the cars put Rare Breed on its lid!
Ultra sailed to victory and joined many other trucks there...
ROUND 2 HIGHLIGHTS
Round 2 saw Ultra take a win over his teammate Glen Milburn and Scarlet Bandit. Rumor has it that new paint schemes may be debuted on the trucks within the next few races! NTNT newcomer Charlie Wagner and Goldberg looked strong until a close finish to Scott Bergman's BackDraft put him on the trailer:
Jeremy Murphy has gotten off to a solid start in the Python Ford, but a pole cost him a shot at making a move in the points early. Matt Stewart and Nevermore have quickly proven that they're a force to be reckoned with and a truck and driver combination that will work well throughout the season. Matt just missed advancing to the semifinals.
SEMI-FINALS HIGHLIGHTS
Robby Haught found himself against surprise newcomer Scott Bergman and Backdraft for the first semifinal matchup. Robby slid through the turns and Scott had some trouble in each wide turn, and that was all he needed for the victory and his second straight final round appearance at this venue.
Harry became the first person to take out Landon Harrison this year in NTNT, and got a little revenge from the first race in the process. Ultra would end Harry's day though after Harry's truck slid a bit wide in a few turns. In an interview after the race, Harry mentioned problems with his wheel that may have hurt his chances. Then he shocked everyone by guaranteeing a semifinal birth the next weekend! Ultra would move on to take Robby on in the final race...
FINALS
25 trucks were narrowed down to two. Robby Haught had been here before, but he didn't have lane choice this time. Jeremy Waring ran the left lane and ran it well. The trucks started off even...
Uh oh, Robby heads into the last turn behind and poles, leaving it up to Jeremy to run a clean race...
...and he does! Jeremy Waring takes his first NTNT victory in the Bounty Hunter Ford! Jeremy was so excited that he headed for a racing ramp and blasted over it, getting a nice sky wheelie!
