SST Announces Changes To The 2013 Schedule

SPEED ENERGY STADIUM SUPER TRUCKS™ SERIES ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO 2013 SCHEDULE

 

CHARLOTTE, NC (June 18, 2013) – Robby Gordon OFF ROAD™ announced today that its Stadium SUPER Trucks™ Series (SST) will make venue and schedule changes that will alter the remainder of its 2013 schedule. Included is the addition of an SST event July 13 and 14 in Toronto.

 

According to series founder Robby Gordon, administering the first six races of the season in a span of only nine weeks was a difficult but rewarding challenge for the Stadium SUPER Trucks Series workers and crew.

“With such an immense undertaking in staging huge events like this around the country, and running six races in nine weeks, the schedule didn’t always allow us to optimize event preparation and race vehicle maintenance,”

 

Gordon said.

“We learned a lot that will help us continue to bring the most exciting brand of motorsports to racing fans everywhere. The improvements in our schedule for 2013 will enhance our program by helping us build our brand and position SST for a great 2014 season and beyond.”

 

New venues include 2 races in Toronto July 13-14 in conjunction with the IndyCar Series; Chicagoland Speedway July 19-20; and Crandon (WI) International Off Road Raceway August 30-Sept.1.

 

More details on the SST race at Toronto will be released later this week.

 

Removed from the original schedule are Chicago’s Soldier Field (June 22); Atlanta’s Georgia Dome (July 6); Dallas Cowboys Stadium (July 13); and the Minneapolis Metrodome (July 20).

 

The series is expected to announce in the coming weeks two additional events west of the Rockies for September and another in October.

 

SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks opened its season in Glendale, Ariz., on April 6th, and recently completed five more races over the following nine-week period that included the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, two events at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, and the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

Or the AV fairgrounds..... just one week before TORC gets there

I bet it happens in AV as well.

@ Michael_T Giants would be a sweet setting. Black and Orange would make a good fit! Athletics are in town so thats a no-go. Giants are gone all week and won't be back til the following Tuesday, so from that angle its doable. I doubt the Giants would go for it during the season, though.

Next Winter/Spring would be a great opportunity to watch them go at it in one of the stadiums. Probably could get a huge draw from the valley and Sac as well.

I get the change and reasons, but hate Atlanta got pulled. As a fan of RG, not seeing him in NASCAR, I was looking forward to going to the Atlanta event. Living in Alabama leaves nothing close to go watch an event. The schedule does allow for Watkins Glen on Aug 11 (love to see RG drive for somebody)

I feel for ya, Zoom.

Right on. I didn't know you were in Trussvegas, Zoom. I'm 10 minutes away in Hoover. We could have carpooled!

Is RG still eligible to drive in NASCAR Zoom?

yea, it's a huge bummer. I haven't seen RG race in person since the April 2011 'Dega race. Looks like i'm gonna have to make a trip out west in the near future.

TOG - is the shop in Charlotte still open?

It does look like SSt isn't going to be in Sam Boyd Stadium in Vegas any longer

it may not be the venue,but it may be.Venue in Vegas is TBA on the new schedule

honestly, sam boyd would not be the ideal location... especially for the year end race! better to run at the speedway if possible. SCORE ran a couple of races through there a few years back...
