History

2012 exhibition at Crandon

By 2011, there was speculation that after his NASCAR career was over, Robby Gordon would bring back the concept of stadium off-road racing that Mickey Thompson had invented. [2] Gordon announced the formation of the Stadium Super Trucks (SST) in 2012, modeling the series after Thompson's MTEG stadium series; [3] early in his career, Gordon had won the 1989 MTEG championship as a 20-year-old. [2] The Stadium Super Trucks held an exhibition race at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway after the conclusion of the World Championship races on September 2, 2012. [4]

Marion Lee "Mickey" Thompson was an American auto racing builder and promoter.

The Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group (MTEG) was a sanctioning body for an American short course off road racing series that took place inside stadiums. Some events were televised, including on TNN and ESPN.

Crandon International Off-Road Raceway

The Crandon International Off-Road Raceway is a short course off road racing racetrack, located near Crandon, Wisconsin, United States on U.S. Route 8. The course hosts the World Championship Off-Road Races and the TORC: The Off Road Championship.

The Stadium Super Trucks began with a twelve-race season in 2013. [5] The series held their first official race at the University of Phoenix Stadium on April 6, 2013. [6] [7] The race was won by Rob MacCachren, [6] Justin Matney finished second, and Gordon passed the flipped-over truck of P. J. Jones on the final lap for third. [8] Gordon and MacCachren battled throughout the 2013 season, and Gordon won the championship by seven points. [9] As support events, the series scheduled monster trucks, quad bikes and Side by Side UTVs. [10]

2013 Stadium Super Trucks season

The 2013 Stadium Super Trucks season was the inaugural season of Stadium Super Trucks competition. The series marked the revival of off-road racing in stadiums, originally created by Mickey Thompson, and reintroduced by former NASCAR driver Robby Gordon. The series is one of four classes available, along with Bigfoot Monster Trucks, Super Trophy Karts and Super Buggys.

Rob MacCachren Off-Road Racer

Rob MacCachren is an American off-road racer from Las Vegas, Nevada. MacCachren won over 200 off-road races including four editions of the Baja 1000.

On December 11, 2013, Gordon announced that the series will be among the events held at the X Games Austin in 2014. [11] On March 4, 2014, the series was rebranded as the "Speed Energy Formula Off-Road Presented By Traxxas". [12] The series' X Games final was held at Circuit of the Americas on June 8. [13] Apdaly Lopez won the gold medal; Sheldon Creed and Gordon earned silver and bronze, respectively. [14]

X Games Austin 2014 was an action sporting event that took place over June 5–8, 2014, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Another Venue used for the event was the Austin 360 Amphitheater.

Circuit of the Americas race track near Austin, Texas, USA

Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is a grade 1 FIA-specification 3.427-mile (5.515 km) motor racing track and facilities located within the ETJ of Austin, Texas. The facility is home to the Formula One United States Grand Prix, the IndyCar Classic, and the Motorcycle Grand Prix of The Americas, a round of the FIM Road Racing World Championship. It previously hosted the Australian V8 Supercars, the American Le Mans Series, the Rolex Sports Car Series, the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Carlos "Apdaly" Lopez is an off-road racing driver from Tecate, Baja California. Lopez won the gold medal in the Stadium Super Trucks class at the X Games Austin 2014. His father, Juan Carlos Lopez, is also a professional off-road racer.

On September 23, 2014, sponsorship marketing company Elevation Group purchased a 40 percent stake in the series. [15] In 2015, the series entered a partnership with all-terrain vehicle manufacturer Arctic Cat, which led to the creation of the Arctic Cat Stadium Side-by-Side (SXS) Racing Series as a support series to the SST. [16]

All-terrain vehicle light off-road vehicle

An all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as a quad, quad bike, three-wheeler, four-track, four-wheeler, or quadricycle, as defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control. As the name implies, it is designed to handle a wider variety of terrain than most other vehicles. Although it is a street-legal vehicle in some countries, it is not street-legal within most states and provinces of Australia, the United States or Canada.

Arctic Cat company

Arctic Cat is an American brand of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles manufactured in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The company was formed in 1960 and is now part of Textron Inc. The company designs, engineers, manufactures and markets all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, as well as related parts, garments—such as snowmobile suits—and accessories.

In late 2014 and into 2015, the series expanded outside the United States and Canada, starting with the 2014 Race of Champions in Barbados. [17] With the support of driver Craig Dontas and former Adelaide 500 general manager Nathan Cayzer, Formula Off-Road expanded into Australia for the 2015 season. [18] In May, the trucks were invited to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. [19] In 2016, the series held the Inaugural Mike's Peak Hill Climb Challenge at Mike's Sky Rancho in Baja California. [20]

The 2014 Race of Champions was the 26th running of the event, and took place over 13–14 December 2014 at Bushy Park circuit in Barbados. The Nations' Cup was won by the Nordic team of Tom Kristensen and Petter Solberg, while the individual contest was won by David Coulthard, who beat Pascal Wehrlein 2–0 in the final. Barbados won the inaugural ROC Caribbean competition.

Barbados country in the Caribbean

Barbados is an island country in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, in the Caribbean region of North America. It is 34 kilometres in length and up to 23 km (14 mi) in width, covering an area of 432 km2 (167 sq mi). It is situated in the western area of the North Atlantic and 100 km (62 mi) east of the Windward Islands and the Caribbean Sea; therein, Barbados is east of the Windwards, part of the Lesser Antilles, roughly at 13°N of the equator. It is about 168 km (104 mi) east of both the countries of Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and 400 km (250 mi) north-east of Trinidad and Tobago. Barbados is outside the principal Atlantic hurricane belt. Its capital and largest city is Bridgetown.

Adelaide 500 auto race in Australia

The Adelaide 500 is an annual motor racing event for Supercars, held on the streets of the east end of Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. First held in 1999, the event uses a shortened form of the Adelaide Street Circuit, the former Australian Grand Prix track.

Formula Off-Road returned to stadiums in December 2017 with the inaugural Stadium Super Trucks World Championship Finals in California's Lake Elsinore Diamond baseball park. [21] Although he did not compete in the weekend due to a rib injury, Paul Morris clinched the 2017 championship with Jerett Brooks driving his No. 67 truck. [22]

In May 2018, Gordon formed a three-year partnership with Boost Mobile to keep the series in Australia beyond the 2019. As part of the agreement, the series' Australian operations were handled by Cayzer and Morris' Paul Morris Motorsport. [18] However, in September, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) revoked their license over safety concerns, a decision particularly spurned by an incident in the May race at Barbagallo Raceway in which Matt Nolan's truck's wheel came off during a wreck and hit a spectator bridge. [23] [24]

A court hearing overseen by the Supreme Court of Victoria took place a month later. The series' defense, led by Queen's Counsel barrister Stewart Anderson, said new wheels would be built with forged billet aluminium that makes them heavier and less likely to detach than the current cast alloy. Retired Supercar driver Larry Perkins also gave his support after inspecting them earlier in the year, comparing the trucks' safety to the Supercars. Anderson further stated CAMS and SST had formed an agreement in February in which the former expressed satisfaction at the series, yet CAMS made the decision to suspend the series in May and did not inform SST officials until July, which Gordon stated was a breach of contract. [24] On October 11, judge John Digby ruled in favor of CAMS. [25]

Six days after the ruling, the series aligned with the Australian Auto Sport Alliance's Australian Motor Racing Series (AMRS) to remain in the country. The AASA, which is not affiliated with CAMS, and the NSW Sport and Recreation approved Formula Off-Road for competition in AMRS events following a risk assessment. [26] The trucks' first race weekend under the AMRS banner took place nine days later at the Sydney Motorsport Park. [27]

In September, the series organized the Robby Gordon Off-Road World Championships at Glen Helen Raceway from November 30 to December 2. [28] To close out the season, Formula Off-Road returned to the Race of Champions in 2019, now held in Mexico City, as both a competing category for ROC drivers and a standalone points race. [29] [30]

Drivers

The series typically featured racers who have competed in off-road events; in the inaugural race, off-road racers included Robby Gordon, Championship Off-Road Racing driver Rob MacCachren, TORC driver Sheldon Creed and motocross rider Jeff Ward. The 2013 season also featured drivers from other disciplines, like Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Paul Tracy (IndyCar), Nick Baumgartner (Olympic snowboarding) and Traxxas owner Mike Jenkins. [6] Other drivers who have competed in the series include Moto X biker Jeremy Stenberg [31] and four-time AMA Supercross Championship winner Ryan Villopoto. [32]

Like Gordon, other NASCAR drivers have competed in the series. At X Games Austin 2015, among the NASCAR competitors were 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Rusty Wallace, [33] road course ringer Boris Said [34] and former Nationwide Series driver and eleven-time X Games medalist Travis Pastrana. [35] P. J. Jones also made starts for Gordon's Robby Gordon Motorsports team in NASCAR, [36] [37] while Justin Lofton raced in NASCAR with Speed Energy sponsorship. [38] In December 2017, Xfinity Series driver Casey Mears, the son of off-road and stadium truck racer Roger Mears, made his Formula Off-Road debut at Lake Elsinore. [39] In 2018, NASCAR driver Greg Biffle made his Formula Off-Road debut at Road America

In 2016, Sara Price became the first female driver in series history when she made her debut at Toronto. [40]

During its inaugural season, the series raced predominantly in stadiums filled with dirt like the University of Phoenix Stadium, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Qualcomm Stadium, and Edward Jones Dome while also running on street circuits as a supporting event for the IndyCar Series. Eventually, the series focused almost exclusively on street courses like Long Beach Grand Prix, Honda Indy Toronto, Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, and Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. "Before you know it, we're doing 10 street races instead of stadiums and dirt races, which brings it to a completely different fan audience," Gordon stated. [41] On the street courses, aluminum ramps are placed on the track; [10] the ramps are 17 feet, 6 inches long and 2'8" high, and trucks enter them at speeds of 70 miles per hour (110 km/h). [42]

The series eventually began an expansion into Australia, which began in 2015 with races at the Adelaide Street Circuit in Australia as a support event for the V8 Supercars' Adelaide 500. [43] Further Australian events were held at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit as a support race for the Gold Coast 600, [44] at the Valvoline Raceway for the Ultimate Sprintcar Championship [45] and at the Homebush Street Circuit for the Sydney 500. [46] The series also competed at Crandon, Sand Sports Super Show, SEMA, Coronado Speed Fest, Carb Day, X Games Austin, Townsville Street Circuit, The Dirt Track at Charlotte, Sydney Motorsport Park, Glen Helen Raceway, and Foro Sol.

In 2017, Formula Off-Road ran at Barbagallo Raceway as an undercard for the Perth SuperSprint, marking the first time the series raced on a permanent circuit. [47] In June, the series made its debut on an oval track at the Texas Motor Speedway, running as a support event for IndyCar's Rainguard Water Sealers 600. [48] Later in the month, the series raced at the Hidden Valley Raceway in Australia's Darwin as part of the Supercars' Darwin Triple Crown weekend. [49] On July 29, the series partnered with Monster Jam to race at Beijing National Stadium in China, the first Chinese-based event for Formula Off-Road. [50] [51] Two months later, the series raced at Watkins Glen International as a support event for IndyCar's Grand Prix at The Glen; instead of the 3.37-mile (5.42 km) layout used by IndyCar, the trucks raced on the 2.45-mile (3.94 km) course. [52] The Glen was removed for the 2018 IndyCar Series season, and Formula Off-Road instead joined the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Road America; for the weekend, the trucks raced on a shortened course that bypassed turns 6 to 12, [53] though the full circuit was utilized for the final lap of both races. [54]

Trucks

The Stadium Super Truck of Robby Gordon at the 2015 Clipsal 500 Adelaide Stadium Super Truck of Robby Gordon.JPG
The Stadium Super Truck of Robby Gordon at the 2015 Clipsal 500 Adelaide

Powered by a 600-hp Chevrolet LS V8 engine, [55] the trucks weigh 2,900 pounds (1,300 kg) and are built with a steel-tube frame and fiberglass body. The trucks are 13'5" long and 5'2" high, feature a three-speed transmission and can reach speeds as high as 140 mph (230 km/h). [42] A portion of the frame protects the driver from rolls. The truck's high center of mass and soft suspension makes the vehicle prone to rolling. Next to the driver is a 5-US-gallon (19 l) jug that catches fluids which may have spilled from damage that the truck sustains. [56] Each truck has Department of Transportation-approved Toyo Tires, [57] with Continental AG becoming a tire supplier in 2019. [58]

In 2012, Gordon ended his NASCAR career, believing the top teams had a large advantage over the smaller teams due to the amount of money spent. As a result, Gordon wanted the Stadium Super Trucks to be a "drivers' series"; with this philosophy, all trucks are identical to each other, [59] though drivers are allowed to change some aspects of their trucks, such as the spring rates, ride heights and camber. [60]

Media coverage

The 2013 SST events were televised tape-delayed on NBC and NBC Sports Network; [61] seven were televised on NBC and five on NBC Sports Network. [5] Most of the twelve races in 2013 were televised on Sunday afternoons. [62] In 2014, NBCSN returned to broadcast the season's races, but was later replaced by CBS Sports Network in September. [63] [64] The X Games events were aired nationally on ABC. [35] [65]

As of the 2017 season, races are streamed live on the series' website and Facebook page. When the series raced in Australia, viewers in the country and New Zealand were prohibited from watching online and instead watched on Fox Sports. [66]
