Wins in Richmond and OKC
Richmond, Virginia-Sudden Impact Racing’s Amsoil Shock Therapy and Amsoil Excaliber rode all the way to Richmond for a busy three-show weekend and pushed their limits constantly and picking up a few wins along the way.
Any time there is a quick turnaround from one show to the next, attention to detail and dedication to the craft are two things required from a successful team. Sudden Impact Racing shined in both areas.
Amsoil Excaliber made an appearance in the final round of racing, narrowly losing, and with a fill-in driver at that—veteran Mike Barnes took the wheel.
“It’s great to have a two-truck attack every weekend, and I was happy to fill in driving the Amsoil Excaliber,” he said.
Amsoil Shock Therapy was able to pick up two wheelie contest wins and a donut victory as well. Both of these competitions require great timing and skill, along with the right equipment, like Scorpion Racing Engines and Sudden Impact Racing tires. Amsoil Shock Therapy had all of the above, and two-time World Finals competitor Jon Zimmer was happy about it.
“I was satisfied with the runs that I made in everything, and sometimes the numbers don’t fall your way,” said Zimmer. “I want to win badly, more than anyone I think. We owe it to our fans to put on the best performance we can.”
After giving the fans a show for the ages in Richmond, the team travels on to Indianapolis, Indiana for one of the biggest shows all season. We will keep you posted!
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-Sudden Impact Racing’s Redcat Racing Ground Pounder and Michigan Ice Monster kept the streak alive, enjoying another racing triumph this weekend to follow up from their dominance last weekend.
Young gun Chris Ryan in Redcat Racing Ground Pounder was too quick for the field at the conclusion of the three-show weekend, blowing by everyone en route to a big win for the team.
“I love winning racing,” said Ryan. “It’s the true test of driver skill—no scoring, just you and the line. When you’re the quickest one to it, it’s a great feeling.”
Michigan Ice Monster’s Chris Lagana put forth solid efforts all weekend without mishap, showing the fans his improvement over the year. While he didn’t pick up any victories, the experience gained is vital.
“I didn’t get the wins, but the truck drove into the trailer in one piece and we made plenty of new fans here,” said Lagana. “I drive for the fans and for Sudden Impact Racing, and if I’ve made both of them happy, I’ve done my job.”
Wichita Falls, Texas is next on the agenda for the team, and we will have all the coverage right here for you soon.
