The METRA PARK GRANDSTAND has seen allot of shows in it’s time but that grand old facility is getting ready to host the wildest of them all! It is the RED NECK SUMMER NATIONALS and it is going to be Saturday Night June 1st @ 7:30pm!
The Red Neck Summer Nationals is a must see event and is one of a kind to combine 4 fan favorite motorsports events: Hot Rod Mud Racing, a Demolition Derby and local Dare Devils intentionally rolling an old car in competition. Plus this time we are DRAG Racing Tuff Trucks two at a time over the obstacle course! These events are always action packed and exciting on their own, but when you combine all of these you get a one of a kind experience, it can only be the Red Neck Nationals!
Drivers from several states, as well as many locals will tackle the 3 foot deep mud pit to see how far they can get and how fast they can get to the end! This mud pit is not for the weak hearted and is sure to be deeper and dirtier than anything you’ve seen before. 3 classes (Street Stock – Modified – Super Modifieds) will take on the pit with cash and trophies awarded to the top finishers. Those classes are open to any and all including local and area drivers.
Also slated for the event is a small car AND BIG CAR demolition derby that’s had such a huge amount of interest that we decided to double the size of our field! Some of the region’s bravest souls will put their cars to the test and crunch some metal competing for a large cash payout and a 3 foot tall trophy for the winner. Stay tuned rules and payoff are coming!
Last but not least the always entertaining is the Roll Over Contest this night is sure to provide plenty of thrills, possibly a few spills and definitely something to talk about for a long time. The winner receives $500 bux for the wildest rollover!
Bring your cameras this night is going to be a Kodak moment for sure.
With Billings being the regional center for shopping and entertainment options this event is sure to be a hit and provide a night of unforgettable action. You MIGHT be a redneck if you’re there, but there is NO questions that you WILL have a great time!
Advance tickets are only $10 dollars plus $2.50 box Office Fees for any seat in the grandstand! Adult ticket prices go up at the gate. Tickets are sure to go fast, so act soon to make sure you can be a part of the unforgettable Red Neck Summer Nationals.

LARRY QUICK – GHOST RYDER MONSTER TRUCK
After a 4 month struggle the 2013 Monster Truck Grand National Championship was decided in Pocatello last Saturday night April 6th inside the huge Holt Arena.
Larry Quick driving the GHOST RYDER monster truck from Illinios was on top of his game and although taking a controversial loss to Zach Adams in the racing final he fought back to gain the huge 6 foot tall trophy and the title.
As the two came off the line it was Zach Adams in his Ford Rislone DEFENDER that took the win after Larry thought something was the matter with the lights,” when we took off the light was green and then it went off and I thought maybe there was a problem or a restart so I let off the throttle. When I figured it out that nothing was wrong Zach had too much of a lead to catch up, but I will be back in freestyle to win the Championship!”
Zach Adams takes the 2013 Grand Nationals as the Race Champion but as Larry said there was Freestyle with equal points. Earlier Quick had won Wheelie Contest so it was just about a for sure that he would take the Championship. But when Zach ran his freestyle it was apparent he was not laying down! “We are off for two months so I am not worried about my truck getting tore up we are going for it!” Zach was hitting nearly everything and getting some huge air but there was one thing he did not hit and that was this “INSANE DOUBLE JUMP” where a huge steep 8 foot tall ramp was designed to shoot the trucks high in the air to either clear a set of cars or land on them. Zach got a great score of 24 with 3 sets of 8′s by the judges who had seemed to be tough all night.
Then it was Quick’s turn after Bigfoot driver Rick Long went out and did a great job in BIGFOOT #11. Larry was on the gas screaming the motor as he attacked one obstacle and jump after the other. He had no mercy on his little black mustang as he stood on the gas and landed cross ways and on the front end then on the back end he was all over the place and then he aligned himself up and went “INSANE!” Not once by twice he hit that jump with the first time he landed in the cars and nearly rolled. The second attempt he was going probably 60mph and flew with a perfect launch over the cars and the crowd came to their feet! Judges of course had no numbers other than 10′s to give him and he locked up the Championship!!
Congratulations to the “Hardest working man in Monster Trucks” many time fan favorite Larry Quick for being the MONSTER TRUCK GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPION for 2013!
Also for a hard fought battle to Zach Adams in his Rislone Defender for bringing in 2nd place in the Championship. Third place was also another Truck Wurks Team member Dallas Barr in the Bar’s Leak Eliminator.
