2021 Bandit Big Rig Races
Bandit race trucks and drivers usually have a busy season with numerous events on oval tracks throughout the Eastern and Central USA. With $50,000 in prize money up for grabs at each event ($10,000 for the first place winner) there is a lot of "bumpin and rubbin" and some outright crashes. The big-rigs circle the tracks with faster trucks lapping the slower ones, going two and three wide in the turns. This is racing like it used to be, with lots of excitement for the fans.
Generally each truck runs at least one Shootout race and three full races: one Heat Race of 10 laps; one Challenge Race lasting 15 laps, and the Main Race with ALL the trucks on the track for a 30-lap race. This is exciting family fun!
Sadly, the third race was the final race of the Bandit Series.
