Just got back from the nashville super speedway in Lebanon Tn. Trista set fast time of 32.83 with an AVERAGE speed of 145.2 mph! It was a lot of fun and we were fast right out of the trailer. She led all 50 laps being challenged on lap 46 by Eric Caudell of OKlahoma until Eric's ignition quit. When it quit our teamate running 3rd had to check up and we new we had the win at that time. Thanks Randy, TJ, JR, and Lance for giving us a great setup that hit the track fast. Our truck was on a rail! Thanks Teutrane of NPT automotive for putting that motor together that performed flawlessly all weekend. On a side note a week ago friday Trista finished 5th in Mike Dillon's late model at Tri-County Speedway in NC. Thanks Lance and crew for a smooth ride!
Trista finally got her 1st asphalt feature win!

USST press release
Stevenson in Tune with Victory at Nashville Super Speedway
#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.
The Nashville Super Speedway with its wide and fast racing was something new to most of the USST contingent. While the track was different from what they are accustomed to; it took little time for the USST racers to get up to speed. Drivers were quickly averaging 144 mph for the field with top speeds on the back stretch reaching 160 in the trucks.
The USST Series has run at large tracks like The Milwaukee Mile (1 mile) or Iowa Speedway (7/8 mile) but never before a Super speedway like the Nashville Super Speedway. To run fast at Nashville you had to dedicate yourself to putting your foot in it and staying there.
While several drivers experienced motor issues one driver #28 Bobby Yonkee of Loves Park, Illinois faced his issues wonderful support from his fellow competitors. After hours of tireless work by the BYR and Joselyn Jewelers crews(s) Yonkee was forced to retire the truck with transmission issues. The effort of the teams did not go unnoticed by Bobby; “I want to say special thanks to Ron Hartford, Martin Meyers and the entire Joselyn Jewelers crew for their show of support in the pits”.
While some truck were facing adversity, three racers Stevenson, Jess Williams and #7 Eric Caudell, were putting on an quite a show at the front of the pack. Caudell, the USST Southern Region point’s leader, was showing why he is so tough back home. Caudell has had misfortune at the recent USST Challenge Series events but on this day he was running strong among the lead pack.
The top 3 put on a wild race for over forty of the scheduled fifty circuits. At any given point you could throw a blanket over Stevenson, Williams and Caudell. In the final ten laps Stevenson saved her best for last as she put a hurt on the rest of the field to speed away to her first win of the season and first on a super speedway. The next USST Challenge Series event is scheduled for September 12th at Dells Raceway Park in Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin.
