Stone Crusher Wins Racing In Syracuse!

June 3, 2009

-After a little time off the Stone Crusher team returned to action in Syracuse, New York this past weekend. Steve Sims got the sold out crowd fired up early in the wheelie contest with two near vertical leaps that would tie him for second with Grave Digger. In racing Sims was taken out by Aaron Basl and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle but was able to return as a fast loser. That lucky break was all that Sims need as he took out Grave Digger in the semi-finals and would move on to face Tom Meents and Maximum Destruction in the finals. Sims managed to get the whole shot and was able to settle down in the second no-mans land and flew the Stone Crusher to the win. Fresh off the racing win Sims came out in freestyle like a man possesed soaring over the obstacles. A cut tire would end his run prematurely scoring a 24 for a third place finish. Next weekend the team travels to Calvert City, Kentucky for a two show weekend. For more info visit our schedule page.

World Finals Recap - 2009 Monster Jam Team Of The Year Award

March 29, 2009

-The 2009 World Finals have come and gone and it was an interesting weekend for the Stone Crusher crew. The action kicked off Friday night in practice but not the way driver Steve Sims intended. While coming down the straight-away the truck got out of shape tagging the bus stack for freestyle flipping the truck over violently. Sims was able to walk away however the Stone Crusher needed several repairs. The crew thrashed throughout the night and were able to get the Stone Crusher ready for the event Saturday night. With the crash Friday night Sims was seeded 24th in the field and had to face Madusa in the first round. It was a close race with Madusa narrowly coming away with the win. After being knocked out early in racing Sims came out in freestyle looking for redemption attacking the track from the start with several huge jumps. Problems with the rear-stearing and a flat tire couldn't stop Sims as he pushed the truck to it's limits before a wild crossthread manuver sent the truck onto it's lid. The run would score a 26 putting Stone Crusher into a 3-way tie for fifth place with Safe Auto and Nitro Circus. Although Stone Crusher didn't pick up any trophies Saturday night the Monster Truck Unlimited (Stone Crusher and Mopar Magic) team came away with the team of the year award at Sunday's awards banquet. This is the second year in a row the team has picked up the award and are looking forward to many more. Now the winter season is through with it's time to head outdoors for some awesome summer shows. Head on over to our schedule page to see where the Stone Crusher is headed next.
