Gordon Tops Qualfying in Round #4 of Stadium SUPER Trucks‏

San Diego, Calif. (May 5, 2013) – SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER
Trucks made the two-hour drive down Interstate-5, bringing the
600 hp off-road road show inside Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego,
Calif. for a night of practice and qualifying.

After a very brief practice, the Stadium SUPER Trucks took to the
very unique and challenging course for a best of 3-laps
qualifying session. The first group contained the top three in
the SST championship point standings Orange, Calif., native Robby
Gordon, Justin Lofton of Brawley Calif., and current point leader
Rob MacCachren of Las Vegas, Nev.

Gordon began the session laying down the quickest time of the
evening with a 36.828, a time that would end up remaining on top
of the leader board the rest of the night. MacCachren would find
trouble on lap-2 lightly flipping over in the sand pit. On the
restart Lofton found trouble as well spinning out and pulling off
the track on the final circuit.

Sheldon Creed, of Alpine, Calif. making his first appearance in a
SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Truck would turn everyone’s head
laying down a remarkable lap 37.433 good for second place behind
leader Gordon.

However, that did not last long as Lalo Laguna of Mexi Cali Baja,
Mexico would record a lap time of 37.385 over taking Creed for
the second position.

The remaining competitors were unable to match the first lap
recorded by Gordon as he went on to win his second straight
SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks fast qualifier award and the
one point bonus towards the 2013 SST Championship.
