LUBBOCK, TX (June 21) – The T-Maxx™ is coming! The T-Maxx is coming! That’s right West Texas monster truck fans, the larger-than-life version of Traxxas’ #1-selling R/C monster truck is on its way to Lubbock Motor Speedway.

USHRA Fan Choice Award winner John Seasock will drive the massive, 10,000-pound T-Maxx against Grave Digger®, Bounty Hunter®, Iron Outlaw®, King Krunch® and El Matador® in the Summer Heat Monster Jam® at Lubbock’s semi-banked, 1/3-mile clay oval Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“Mike (Hoy, the team’s crew chief) and I have been thrashing on the T-Maxx,” Seasock said. “It had some body damage after last weekend’s StarBoyz StuntFest, but it will be ready for this weekend. We have a 26-hour drive to Lubbock, so we wanted to make sure we got the truck ready before we left. It’s quite a haul. We’re really looking forward to it – it’s another USHRA Summer Heat show. Any time you compete in the Clear Channel shows, you know it’s going to be good competition and a safe, well-organized event.”

Since making his Traxxas debut at Houston’s Reliant Stadium five months ago, Seasock has driven the T-Maxx into the semifinals in 11 of 14 USHRA events, including four victories.

“It’s going to be tough in Lubbock, but we’re just going to take it one run at a time,” Seasock said. “Grave Digger is always awesome and Bounty Hunter is the reigning freestyle champion. We’re going to make them work hard. They’re definitely going to know the T-Maxx is in town by the time we get finished.”

Traxxas, the leader in Ready-To-Race® radio-control models, has broken new ground by bursting into the earth-shaking world of monster truck racing this year. Thousands of proud T-Maxx owners now have the opportunity to cheer the full-size version of the world’s premier four-wheel-drive R/C monster truck to victory.

“I’ve never been to Lubbock before, so I’m looking forward to it,” Seasock said. “We’ve received a lot of e-mail from T-Maxx fans who are planning to attend the shows. We’re looking forward to meeting them.”

The Summer Heat Monster Jam will feature 8pm shows Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Lubbock Motor Speedway gates will open at 7pm each evening. The USHRA invites fans with tickets to Saturday’s show to attend a one-hour Party in the Pits with the drivers and their monster trucks starting at 6pm Saturday.
