WEST VALLEY CITY — Larry Swim in the Bigfoot #19 Monster Truck bested Jimmy Creten's Bounty Hunter for the win at Rocky Mountain Raceways', an American Speed Association Track, Maverik Clash of the Titans XVII event on Saturday, August 10.

During the final round Creten crossed the finish line first; however, race officials determined that Creten crossed over into Swim's lane. A penalty was assessed, making Swim the champion.

Creten claimed the Wheelie Competition win. Side-by-side, Figure-8 Monster Truck racing will continue on Sunday, August 11. A Freestyle Monster Truck Competition will follow the night's racing.

The ASA Pro Trucks joined the truck racing action with a crowd-pleasing 40-lap main. Starting in the first position, #36 Cody Backus led the first half of the race. Running in second, #71 Dan Doan began to give chase but Backus was able to thwart early attempts.

By lap 27, Doan's passing attempts succeeded and he led a portion of the race until #38 Johnny Pierre moved in for the top spot on lap 31. Pierre took the lead and never looked back. #9 Scott Luttmer came in second with Doan in third. Utah local #61 Mark Ith Jr. came in fourth and #6 Drew Reitsma rounded out the top five.

ASA Winners included #25 Dillion Lawrence (Comcast Super Stocks) and #24 Chuck Groat (Focus Midgets.) With just a few dates remaining in the 2013 season, the current point leaders are making their final push toward possible championships. ASA Weekly Racing will continue on Sunday, August 11 with Maverik Clash of the Titans XVII featuring figure-8 monster truck racing, freestyle monster truck competition, ASA Pro Trucks and Hornets. Monster trucks headlining the event include Maverik Monster Trakker, Bigfoot #19, Bigfoot #15, Bounty Hunter and Scarlet Bandit. Gates open at 4pm and the green flag drops at 6:15pm.
