rob mac headLas Vegas, Nevada - Rockstar Energy Racing's Rob MacCachren and his FORD Raptor teammate, Team Ford's Steve Olliges, are set to host NASCAR standout driver, Greg Biffle, and Monster Jam driver, Linsey Weenk, at this weekend's BITD Terrible's Town 250 held in Primm, Nevada.

Greg Biffle will take time out of his busy NASCAR schedule to run the FORD Raptor race truck on Thursday afternoon before the BITD Terrible's Town 250 qualifying action kicks off. Monster Jam superstar, Linsey Weenk, will race the FORD Raptor race truck during Saturday's second race of the 2009 Best in the Desert 5-race series. Off road racing champion, MacCachren, will co-drive for Linsey Weenk during the race, as the Monster Jam racer is slated to drive one of three 69-mile laps. Weenk, from Alberta, Canada, who campaigns the Built Ford Tough Blue Thunder in Monster Jam will trade in his 10-minutes of Monster Jam racing for a full 69-miles of desert thunder in what has long been regarded as the most brutal race course in the Nevada desert.

Olliges and MacCachren will split the other two laps as FORD debuts the first of a handful of FORD racing superstars that will be part of the 2009 FORD F-150 Raptor race program.

Greg Biffle commented about the new Ford Raptor, "When I think of Raptor, the first thing that comes to mind is a proven off-road piece with its finish in the Baja 1000, and I think it's a long-time overdue, if you want my opinion. Up to this point, no manufacturer has built a truck like this. People had to do it themselves, so there's a definite market out there and I'm excited about it. I've been paying attention and watching some of the desert testing that they've done and I can't wait," said Biffle. The # 16 Jack Roush owned 3M Ford will race at the Phoenix International Raceway under the lights on Saturday night.

MacCachren led the FORD F-150 Raptor race program to the podium, finishing second at the season opening race at the BITD Blue Water Parker 425. Battling against extreme elements of cold temperatures, freezing rain and deep pools of storm runoff, MacCachren charged the FORD F-150 Raptor through the black night with his KC HiLites claiming a podium spot in Class 8000.

The 2009 season has started off well for Rob MacCachren Racing, as the multiple time off road racing champion finished 7th Overall at the challenging MINT 400 two weeks ago, besting the majority of the unlimited trucks and cars. The debut of the 2009 Rockstar

Energy Racing team takes place at Texas Motor Speedway under the lights on Friday, May 15, 2009, as The Off Road Championship (TORC) series kicks off their season.
