FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First up to rock the house in Fayetteville was Rob French in Twisted Dragon. A great vertical wheelie ended with a busted driveshaft out of the gate for French. Reptoid and Viper scored some awesome wheelies, but Rob French showed them up. Even Bigfoot's first wheelie by Rick Long wasn't good enough for the judges, nor was the second wheelie attempt when Rick hit the ramp, went straight up 10+ feet in the air, coming back down on the tailgate and sticking it for several seconds before the truck dropped back down on all 4's. Winner by applause - Rob French (Twisted Dragon), second place Dragon Fly (Kelly Carrington).

Racing finals came down to Bigfoot taking on Twisted Dragon. Snatching the lead off the start line, Rob French took Twisted Dragon to the finish line, defeating Bigfoot by a hair.

Freestyle started off with Bigfoot, as Rick Long' son was injured on Saturday morning. Rick put on an amazing run, forcing the other trucks to step up their game after an insane 3+ minute run. Rick quickly left for the airport following his run.

Reptoid and Viper pumped up over 7,000 screaming fans up with awesome performances including lots of air and donuts. Rob French in Twisted Dragon ended the night with an insane finale leaving the trucks engine up in smoke. He then grabbed the steering wheel off of Twisted Dragon and gave it to a young wannabe monster truck driver before signing autographs nearly midnight.

The only people who left the show early were box office employees who closed an hour early from selling out!

Rob French ended up sweeping Fayetteville in front of a sold out crowd. Congratulations to Rob French and the Twisted Dragon team!

We want to thank all of our fans, drivers, and the people who make our events happen!
