Sudden Impact Racing Wins Coast to Coast

The Sudden Impact Racing team was at it again this past weekend, with four trucks split evenly between Phoenix, Ariz. and Woodstock, Ga. Sean Duhon in the AMSOIL T-Maxx and Kevin King in the AMSOIL Sudden Impact took to the drag strip at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix for the 10th Annual Tire Pros Monster Truck Nationals, while Jon Zimmer in the AMSOIL T-Maxx 2 and John Killinger in the AMSOIL Sudden Impact 2 ripped up the Dixie Speedway track in Woodstock. Both pairs of trucks held their own and left a lasting impression on the fans in both places, further proving that the SIR team is on track for one of their most successful years yet.

In Phoenix, Duhon and King had their work cut out for them, as they squared off in multiple exhibition and freestyle competitions against a stacked field of powerhouse trucks and drivers. King piloted the Sudden Impact truck into a three-way tie for first place in the night’s grueling Freestyle competition, which featured the trucks performing wheelies, donuts, and grabbing big air off of various obstacles. Sunday’s event would feature much of the same, as the SIR trucks again threw down the gauntlet on the confines of the Firebird Raceway drag strip.

On the other side of the country, the potent J&J combo of Jon Zimmer and John Killinger took on a slew of big names as well on a long and fast straight-line racing track and a treacherous freestyle track. Although the two AMSOIL/SuperWraps backed entries exited earlier than they would have liked in racing both nights, the duo confirmed that SIR trucks and drivers know how to make it up to their fans during freestyle. Zimmer put on a solid freestyle run on Saturday night, operating only in two-wheel drive, which made his tough job even tougher. Killinger did his part to uphold the Sudden Impact reputation, and showed the Georgia fans that although he may be relatively new to the seat at SIR, he and his truck are clicking just fine. Expect more great things from him as the year progresses.
