Damn! I wish I could see some of these. For us East-Coasters, it's a lot harder to keep interested. It was great watching all the replays of the first few races, but since they fell off, I'm feeling left out. Any idea if there will be any online replays of these races?

Costa Mesa, Calif. (September 21, 2013) – As the second day of the 2013 Sand Sport Super Show closed, right next door the Stadium SUPER Trucks would take to the track for a wild night of practice, qualifying, and main events in SST, USA Pro SuperMoto, Side x Side Mod, Side x Side Stock, and Trophy Kart 450.
After multiple practice sessions, the Stadium SUPER Trucks took to the track for the best of 2-laps qualifying session. Robby Gordon continued where he left off the night before laying down the quickest lap of the session with a 58.372.
Saturday night’s final would see a six-car invert and for the second night in a row Mike Jenkins of Plano, Texas, would pace the 15-lap SST final to green. Apdaly Lopez would race out to the early lead before Jenkins would enter the second turn too fast resulting in a complete roll over.
Lopez would lead the first three laps, before fourth starting Justin Lofton would take over the lead entering the dirt stadium portion of the racecourse. Lopez would get loose coming to the start/finish line loosing a tremendous amount of ground to the sixth starting Robby Gordon.
With Lofton out to a commanding lead, Lopez would spin in the big sweeping corner allowing Gordon to drive past into second place.
In a repeat of the night before Gordon and Lofton would remain the class of the field racing away after a Lap-6 caution. The hard charging Lofton would hit his marks corner after corner showing the No. 7 around the tricky racecourse. Lap-10 would see Gordon cut into the lead of Lofton, but a small bobble would allow Lofton to pull away.
The Southern California native would go on to capture his third SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks win of the season; he was followed to the finish by second place Robby Gordon and third finishing Apdaly Lopez.
Other feature winners included Robert Vambercum in Side x Side Mod, Keenam Rogerson in Side x Side Stock, and D. J. Noerr in Trophy Kart 450.

Perfect, tightened up the points to have a great season finish ....
Yep, Robby is five points out of the point lead. Will he make up that today? Is today the last points paying event? Will Las Vegas be the finale?
all good questions.I'm guessing you'll only have the first one answer'd today
Robby said they are planning a race in Glamis over Thanksgiving. That would be something else to see.Stuck around after the race last night and got to meet Robby. He gave my son the hat off of his head! Super cool experience.
