The 2013 Stadium Super Trucks Series 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.[1] The trucks were one of four classes available, along with Bigfoot Monster Trucks, Super Trophy Karts, and Super Buggys.[2]
The champion was awarded the Mickey Thompson Championship Trophy.[3] Gordon won the championship by seven points over
Rob MacCachren.[4]
The next stop was Crandon, with MacCachren claiming his fourth win of the season in the first race on Friday night.[30] In the second race on Sunday afternoon, the trucks raced the track in the opposite direction for the second half of the 12-lap event.[30] Creed and
Jerett Brooks battled for the win, with the latter winning.[31]
The next three rounds were held at
Sand Sports Super Show.
Robby Gordon dueled with Lofton throughout the first race until Lofton struck a water barrier as Gordon won. Lofton subsequently suffered from mechanical issues and finished fifth. In the next round, pole-sitter
Mike Jenkins entered turn 2 too quickly and rolled over, giving
Apdaly Lopez the lead, though Lofton passed him. As in the previous race, Lofton and Gordon battled for the victory, but a miscue by Gordon allowed Lofton to get the win. Lofton and Gordon continued to dominate the track as they started first and second, respectively, in the third race. With the invert, Lopez led, and at the lap six restart, Gordon suffered damage to his truck and rolled over. Gordon was able to make a late charge, but Creed eventually won.[32]
The season finale was held at
Caesars Palace in
Las Vegas, held concurrently with the
SEMA auto show.[33] In the race,
P. J. Jones claimed his first win of the season, while Gordon won the championship by just seven points over MacCachren.[4]
