Indianapolis Mayhem
Indianapolis, Indiana-Sudden Impact Racing’s Amsoil Shock Therapy and Amsoil Excaliber emerged from Indianapolis with another successful weekend in the books, with plenty of excitement and fan memories made.
Racing was first on the agenda for both trucks, and they would face off in round one, with Amsoil Shock Therapy getting the victory over Amsoil Excaliber, but blowing a tire in the process.
“I hate it when we go against each other,” said Amsoil Shock Therapy driver Jon Zimmer. “The nice thing is that one of us moves on, but ideally, we want to meet in the finals!”
Amsoil Shock Therapy would take the win but suffer tire problems, and both trucks would have to wait until freestyle to get the job done.
Mike Barnes took Amsoil Excaliber to the track and promptly attacked everything on the course with a flurry of diverse moves that left the crowd cheering for more. Excaliber ran past its alotted time and finished with a nice set of donuts, then Barnes emerged to a roar of approval from the crowd.
After that, it was Amsoil Shock Therapy time. Zimmer had borrowed a tire to ensure nothing would stand in the way of an outstanding freestyle for the Amsoil/Sudden Impact Racing truck, and he delivered the goods, putting down an outstanding run that included cross-thread hits on the biggest obstacles on the track, insane momentum, saves, a blast through a motor home on the track, and gigantic leaps all over the floor. Amsoil Shock Therapy capped things off by nearly levitating during a cyclone donut, leaving no doubt as to who the standout truck and run from the event would be.
“I didn’t get the score that I wanted, but I had several people telling me after the show that I should have won it,” said Zimmer. “What matters to me is that the fans are happy, and I can hold my head high at the end of the day when I hear those cheers.”
Indeed, with a memorable run in the books, the fans roared for Amsoil Shock Therapy and left buzzing about the truck’s performance. Amsoil Shock Therapy and Amsoil Excaliber will look to capitalize on that momentum this weekend in Syracuse, New York for another stellar event. Stay tuned for more!
