RACING:
Tonight's racing course was the second St. Louis style course of the season, and very similar to the first track for racing, East Coast Monster Jam. Two drivers made their debuts tonight; Cory Schwab made a celebrated return to racing in the Bigfoot T-Wrecks, and newcomer Robbie Milburn took the controls of Bounty Hunter for his first NTNT race. Cory ended up being fast qualifier with a blistering 14.55 that sent a message to the other drivers-he hadn't lost a step.
ROUND 1 HIGHLIGHTS
Round 1 started with Robby Haught taking out his brother Bill for the second straight week, but this time he won in Reptoid because he was subbing for Corey Davis in addition to driving Skitso 4. Also pulling double duty once again was Josh Rhodes, who subbed for Eddie Carmichael in Bigfoot 10. Many drivers moved on to the next round, where the action was more intense.
ROUND 2 HIGHLIGHTS
The second round had some interesting matchups, including Dustin Hart being beaten by Robby Haught and Skitso 4 and Cory Schwab taking the win over Bill Haught and Freak of Nature. Other winners included Mike Alston, Josh Rhodes, John Everett, and more.
SEMI-FINALS HIGHLIGHTS
The highlight of the semis had to be Cory Schwab and Robby Haught's race. The first time it was run, the trucks tied, an NTNT first. Rules said that a rerun was in order, and on the rerun Cory took the win fair and square, moving on to the finals.
FINALS
The finals were set. Mike Alston, who had already taken one win in racing this season, against Cory Schwab, making his first NTNT appearance a good one so far in Bigfoot T-Wrecks. The trucks staged, and Mike pulls the surprise holeshot! Cory tries to battle back, and both trucks ran their hardest runs of the night, but Mike came out on top by a close margin. Congratulations to your racing winner, TEAM MEENTS!
