Bandit race trucks and drivers had a busy season with 13 events on oval tracks. With $50,000 in prize money up for grabs at twelve events there was a lot of "bumpin and rubbin" and some outright crashes. As the big-rigs circled the tracks with faster trucks lapping the slower ones, going two and three wide in the turns the experience was unlike anything you have experienced before. This is racing like it used to be, with lots of excitement for the fans. Before racing began all race trucks and drivers lined up in front of the stands and the gates were thrown open so fans could greet their favorite drivers, have fan cards or apparel signed, and inspect the race trucks.

Generally each truck ran three races: one Heat Race of 10 laps; one Challenge Race lasting 15 laps, and the Main Race with ALL qualified trucks on the track for a 30-lap race. This is exciting family fun!

If you didn't make it to the races, then watch the action from anywhere in the world on the live-stream video posted on each race page.
