#94 Truck Finishes Henderson 250 Fifth, But Moved to 7th Place After
Penalty. Scores Most Overall BITD Trophy Truck Season Points!
Reno, NV - 8/19/2011
After battling one flat tire, a damaged wheel hub dust cover and a broken U-joint Steve and JT brought the truck home in 5th place in the Trophy Truck class, one position ahead of nearest points competitor BJ Baldwin. Had the race been scored official the Strobel Motorsports team would have captured their first overall Trophy Truck BITD season championship. However, the BITD race director assessed a penalty which he initially said was for leaving the race course in the final corner and then later changed the reason to be unsafe driving leading to the final race stop sign. Regardless of the questionable penalty the Strobel Motorsports team had an incredible 2011 campaign, piling up 547 series class points - a full 35 points ahead of BJ Baldwin who was awarded the Trophy Truck series championship after dropping the points from 1 race. The team is now fully focused on the 2012 racing campaign and looking forward to moving up to the premier off-road SCORE International racing series. Thanks so much to all our sponsors and all the crew members who made this entire 2011 season possible. Visit our media page for More Henderson 250 pics & videos.

Overall Win at V2R!
Reno, NV - 8/19/2011
What a race! The #94 Trophy Truck takes the overall win over some very stiff competition
in the Longest Off-Road Race in the United States. The team completed 3 scheduled pit stops over the
552 mile course in near record time and overcame 2 flat tires in the field for a 5 minute victory over
the 2nd place Class 1 car. The Kroyer-powered truck ran flawlessly all day long while the BFG tires
handled the very rough and rocky course extremely well.
12th Place Finish at Parker 425
Parker, AZ - 2/5/2011
After a fantastic first lap and an even better second lap which saw the #94 truck move up to 6th overall from 18th starting position the team finished 12th in Trophy Truck class after completing a transmission change. Outside of that trouble the truck ran well and driver Steve Strobel and co-driver "JT" John Tondro drove a nearly flawless race.
