| Downtown - Las Vegas, Nevada (July 19, 2007) Amid thousands of fans and surprised Las Vegas travelers, the SCORE Terrible's CUP III Pit Crew Challenge was dominated by Wylie Racing. Decked out in bright orange shirts and an attitude to take on all challengers, Wylie's Rangers outperformed the nation's top pit crews in a fight for the first bragging rights of this three-day extravaganza. SCORE festivities overtook the downtown Fremont Street Experience in the early evening and the festive atmosphere spilled into downtown casino's after Wylie and his crew were crowned Champs. Reigning champions - Terrible Herbst Motorsports, were first to kick off with lighting fast tire changing duties underneath the illuminated canopy of the famed Las Vegas downtown event. Terrible Herbst Motorsports Crew Chief - Mike Smith led his crew to the red carpet by setting the initial fastest time of the event until Wylie's crew came along six trucks later. Finishing two back from the top spot was the 2006 SCORE Rookie of the Year - Garron Cadiente's G&R Racing crew. With race trucks lined up 20 deep along the downtown casinos, the crowds were strong and the pinnacle surrounded the competitors as they squared off against each other. Teams that had trouble included the Desert Assassin's Cadillac Escalade Truck piloted by Cameron Steele, the #2 Schampa Technical Gear Clothing Truck piloted by Pete Sohren and several others. Cameron Steele chatted on the announcer's system with his primary crew member - Bean - who described the troubles that they faced in the race for bragging rights Post from Dirt Newz.com | ||

 2007 SCORE Terrible's Cup III - Trophy Truck Main Event The main event of Trophy-Truck racing turned out to be the most exciting battle of the weekend. By lap one, the top three finishers were decided. #1 BJ Baldwin lead followed by #3 Rob MacCachren and #12 Larry Ragland. The first time through the infield entrance proved to be a tough one. The bottleneck made a mess of the whole pack in a pileup that resembled a demolition derby far more than a desert race losing two trucks to the incident. Lap three saw Baldwin and MacCachren competing neck and neck. Baldwin, in front, slipped up a bit letting MacCachren by for a split second until he took back the lead. In the fifth lap, MacCachren got a fender in on Baldwin in the Fish Hook, but Baldwin held onto the lead once again. 2007 SCORE Terrible's Cup - Saturday Heat 1 Coverage Trophy-Trucks: Alan Pflueger took off from the pack in his #28 Monster backed Trophy-Truck. His holeshot was cut short at the infield entrance where he flipped the truck over, ending his race after only half of a lap moving #12 Larry Ragland into P2 followed by #38 Garron Cadiente in P3. By the end of the first lap Cameron Steel, in his #16 truck, came from last place to an impressive third position. At The end of the first lap the running order was Cadiente in the lead followed by a close battle between Ragland and Steele for second. The big let down of the heat was Jerry Whelchel's effort in his Chet Huffman Motorsports #40 truck. Despite his crew spending the eighteen hours before the heat fixing the truck after last night's accident, Whelchel's night was cut short when he flipped the truck in the back section of the track. 2007 SCORE Terrible's Cup III Trophy-Truck Semi-Main The Semi started with Travis Coyne in the #77 truck in the lead followed closely by #38 Garron Cadiente, and #82 Ryan Arciero with #40 Jerry Whelchel filling the fourth spot. The first two laps have this run order until Mark Post in the Riviera Racing #3 truck bombed over a burm and ended up passing three trucks to take second from Cadiente, who then found himself in seventh place by the end of the event. The fourth lap was exciting as Coyne switched spots with Arciero on entry into the infield. This left the running order with #28 Alan Phlueger in first place while Coyne and #1 B.J. Baldwin took two and three. 2007 SCORE Terrible's Cup III: Friday Heat 1 Coverage Trophy-Truck:Andy McMillen started off the night's event strong by creating a sizeable gap before the end of the first lap. Jesse James and Cameron Steele, neither of which made it throught the race, were rubbing paint like a couple of Nascars in the back of the pack during the first lap. Travis Coyne, who had been following McMillin in 2nd place, took a golden opportunity to overtake when Andy's Chevy nosedived at the end of the whoop section and eventually ended up going up and (quite literally) over the K-rail halfway through the second lap. Bobby Baldwin's Trophy-Truck got high centered on a burm for most of the 3rd lap which took him out of contention. The last three laps had no position changes with #77 Travis Coyne breaking the tape followed by #38 Garron Cadiente in second place and #12 Larry Ragland in third.
