AMSOIL T-Maxx Wins CFR Championship

AMSOIL can now add monster truck champion to its growing list of accomplishments. The Sudden Impact Racing team, led by the AMSOIL T-Maxx truck, took home the 2008 Monster Truck Winter Nationals championship over the weekend.

The event, sanctioned by Checkered Flag Productions, was held in Pocatello, Idaho. AMSOIL/T-Maxx driver Sean Duhon entered the event with just a three point lead over Bearfoot #15. Teammate Kevin King was fifth overall and would help Duhon push the T-Maxx truck into the championship.

King started well, qualifying Sudden Impact with the fastest time. After two rounds of racing, both the T-Maxx and Sudden Impact had won their respective heat races and would face off in the final. Duhon would power the AMSOIL T-Maxx truck past King's Sudden Impact ride in the final and was able to clinch the championship. King would get even in the freestyle event as he finished second to Duhon's third.

Sudden Impact Racing will be racing again on Saturday, April 12 in Homestead, Fla.

Until then, we'll see you at the races.
