A Brief Introduction To The
United States Super Truck Series (USST)

USST Super Trucks are an asphalt oval and road course racing series one step below NASCAR Craftsman trucks. USST travels in the central United States as far south as Texas and as far north as Wisconsin. The trucks produce about 500 horsepower from their 365 cubic inch V-8 engines. Top speeds in races have exceeded 140 mph. The trucks are pure race vehicles, there are no street truck parts on them and they are not street legal. Trucks are often outfitted with in-car cameras. Samples of the digitized footage are available for viewing online with a high speed connection at www.racinxs.com.

This growing series has raced in truck races primarily on short tracks such as Tulsa’s JRP Speedway and Altus Oklahoma’s Altus Speedway. The USST trucks travel to larger facilities like the Milwaukee Mile in Wisconsin, I-70 Speedway near Kansas City, Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids Iowa, and Road America in Wisconsin. USST has also races in Texas, New Mexico, Missouri, and Kansas. USST's sister series is the MidWest / MidAm Super Trucks who race primarily in Wisconsin and Minnesota. These two groups meet in the central states to challenge each other under their equal rule sets.

The USST series also engages in Super Truck Driving Schools, Corporate Outings, and Rental Programs for the Trucks.
