    Sheldon Creed Wins Stadium SUPER Trucks Night 2 in Costa Mesa, Calif.

    COSTA MESA, California (Sept. 20, 2015) – TRAXXAS driver Sheldon Creed started on pole for Saturday’s SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks Presented by TRAXXAS race, and cruised to his fourth victory of the season in convincing fashion.

    While Creed was by himself out front for the first half of the race, the battle was heated directly behind him. California native’s Robby Gordon and Burt Jenner were in a fierce battle with Scottsdale, Arizona’s PJ Jones swapping position’s lap after lap with good clean hard racing. Jenner would move ahead of Jones launching through the sand pit to gain an advantage over Gordon and Jones who collided with each other and lost ground on the frontrunners. (more…)

  • MAMER MOTORSPORTS HAS SIGHTS SET ON WINNING BIG IN LAS VEGAS LOORRS RACE

    MAMER MOTORSPORTS HAS SIGHTS SET ON WINNING BIG IN LAS VEGAS LOORRS RACE

    Mamer Motorsports has their sights set on rounds 15 & 16 which will take place under the lights of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this coming Friday and Saturday night. The second to last race weekend of the season, has some teams looking at getting closer to the points championship, but Mamer will be looking to get his #35 Atturo Tires Pro Lite on the podium.

    “We know this truck has what it takes to get to the top of that box. Now it is just matter of all the other cards falling into place to make it happen.” Stated Mamer.

    unnamed 2

    Mamer has not had the smoothest races in the past few rounds, but he has had his fair share of battles with top drivers. Consistently making a charge towards the front, but luck not being on his side to finish at the top.

    The 16 year old driver hooked up his Atturo tires and kept the rubber to the dirt to come to a 12th place finish in round 13 at the Wild West Motorsports Park in Reno, NV. It is a track that offers many elevation changes and long stretches. This type of course didn’t leave much room for passing unless a driver made an error.

    The Pro Lite use to be one full of carnage but as these young gun drivers get more skill behind the wheel as the season goes on, it is making out to be one tough class.

    Mamer was dealt a bad hand in round 14 as he didn’t even get in a full 3 laps before he was pulled off the side of the course and out of the race.

    “Our sights are now set on the podium in Vegas.” Stated Mamer

    Some minor truck changes and tuning will get this amped up driver back behind the wheel. The Lucas Oil Off Road course out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway offers tight turns and dirt that is known for quickly drying out in the Vegas heat and stirring up dust. This can be an advantage to those leading and Mamer now just needs to set himself up for a top qualifying spot.

    Be sure to follow Mamer Motorsports over the weekend to see which way their luck goes under the lights of Las Vegas.
