Toyo Tires ® Continues to Reach Fans around the Globe as the Official Tire of SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks Presented by TRAXXAS
Toyo Tire U. S. A. Corp( Toyo Tires) announced the company has extended its commitment as the Official Tire of SPEED Energy Stadium SU- PER Trucks presented by TRAXXAS for 2016.
This is the third year that the Stadium SUPER Trucks™( SST) compete exclusively on Toyo Open CountryA / T II tires, and is the fourth year that Toyo Tires has supported the series. The off-the-shelf Open Country A / T II tires demonstrate their remarkable durability and handling ability by living up to the extreme punishment dished out by the 600-plus horsepower spec trucks. During competition, the trucks often land hard on asphalt tracks from extreme heights.
Founded by Team Toyo member and both off-road and SST champion, Robby Gordon, the identically prepared SST race trucks compete on both dirt tracks and road racing courses using specially constructed ramp jumps.
Joining Team Toyo this year is defending 2015 SST champion Sheldon Creed from Alpine, CA. At only 18-years of age, Creed is the youngest member of Team Toyo, and the youngest champion in the history of SST. He leads in 2016 having won Rounds 1 and 3 in Adelaide, Australia; Round 4 in St. Petersburg, FL; and Rounds 6 and 7 in Long Beach, CA.
“ We are happy to support the ever growing Stadium SUPER Truck series,” said Amy Coleman, senior director of marketing, Toyo Tire U. S. A. Corp.“ The series is a great way to demonstrate the quality of our products to fans around the world, while its television coverage in the US continues to generate awareness of the Toyo Tires brand on American soil.”
