Website Within the magnitude of the marquee event was the fact that the
2009 USST Series Championship was on the line. #55 Jess Williams and #45 Trista
Stevenson where poised to settle the title on the track while racing for the
win. Both talented young drivers went out and raced hard rather than simply
running back in the pack. The drama of the championship would take a dramatic
twist as both trucks experienced mechanical challenges.
The old adage;
“To finish first…first you must finish” came into play for the
USST Series title. Both William’s and Stevenson’s trucks spent time
in the garage and returned to competition in hopes of turning more laps than
their rival. The title would come down to survival of the fittest. In the end
Williams would best Stevenson for the title by 19 points in one of the closest
finishes in USST Series history.

SPECTACULAR WIN!

USST news. September 12, 2009: Marshfield, WI – This afternoon
proved to be another exciting day of racing action at one of the finest paved
ovals in the Midwest. Visiting the 2009 Fall Spectacular today was the United
States Super Truck Challenge Series....
The United States Super Trucks
proved to be very exciting with some of the best truck drivers in the country
participating. Leading the USST to the green flag for their 50-lap feature
event was John Wood and Larry Fitzsimmons. The two drivers ran first and second
throughout the first 12 laps. On lap 13, Wood was finally able to clear
Fitzsimmons on lap 13. It appeared Wood had the truck to beat; however,
Fitzsimmons closed ground on the Wisconsin driver, and looked as he was going
to retake the top spot. That was not to be today, however, Larry Fitzsimmons
blew his engine entering turn one bringing out the caution flag.
A
driver working her way through the field was Pocahontas, IL driver, Trista
Stevenson. Stevenson, an eighteen year old driver that was fresh off her win at
Nashville, was looking to be the first female to visit victory lane. Just pass
the halfway point of the race, Stevenson started to put heavy pressure on the
truck of John Wood. Read more....

#45 Trista Stevenson, of Pocahontas, IL held off a
hard charging #55 Jess Williams and the Tennessee valley heat to capture her
first United States Super Truck (USST) Challenge Series event of 2009; during
the ASALMS Music City 100 weekend at the Nashville Super Speedway. The hot
Tennessee sun did not play favorites among the United Sates Super Truck
faithful. Warm temperatures and high heat had the truck motors on the ragged
edge throughout the weekend. The enduring heat took a toll on several motors
and teams as they endured the extreme temperatures. One team that was not
affected was teenage sensation #45 Trista Stevenson. The teenage talent
Stevenson showed her hand early as she blistered the Nashville Super Speedway
at 145.563 mph in qualifying. Read
