Sturges Motorsports Running Strong!! (September 16th, 2008) Several weeks have passed since our last update and the Sturges Motorsports team has enjoyed great success including a tour for Outlaw Monster Trucks, our big hometown Tournament of Destruction event and the big Tijuana Monster Trucks Showdown in Mexico this past weekend. Let’s get you up to date on everything we’ve been up to! July 19th - Show Low, AZ – After a nice weekend off following the big Del Mar event, Sturges Motorsports embarked on a three-week, four-show Outlaw Monster Truck Spectacular tour. The first stop would be near home at Thunder Raceway in Show Low, AZ where the trucks would compete in a three round, freestyle-only event. Ronnie Sturges in Nasty Boy and Gary Schott Jr. in Unnamed & Untamed were both on fire as they took on McGruff and Terminator. In a rare occurrence, this event saw a father versus son battle as Gary Schott Jr. would be competing against dad Gary Schott Sr. in his new Terminator machine. Unnamed & Untamed won the first round of freestyle and the Sturges team sent the fans home happy, freestyling together and taking a shared victory in the final round. July 26th – Aberdeen, SD – From there it was off to South Dakota where Ronnie and Gary would be facing off against Wildfire Motorsports at Aberdeen’s Brown County Speedway. The night started off well as Ronnie took the first round of freestyle, but Rob French and Twisted Dragon would get the nod in the final two rounds. Two shows down, three to go. During the down time, the young guns were busy keeping the monsters in top condition and doing pre-maintenance before heading to Colorado to finish out the tour. July 31st – Brighton, CO – The first stop in Colorado would be at the Brighton County Fairgrounds just outside of Denver for a small Thursday night fair show. The team would be competing against good friend Don Frankish and his two trucks, Maniac and Jurassic Attack. Gary Schott Jr. must not have liked getting shut out of the winner’s circle the previous week, as he was on fire sweeping all three rounds of freestyle. August 2nd – Colorado Springs, CO – From Brighton, it was down to the beautiful Colorado Springs area for another show Maniac and Jurassic Attack at the Norris-Penrose Events Center. Nasty Boy and Unnamed & Untamed pulled off another great dual freestyle in the final round to the delight of the fans. August 9th – Greely, CO – The final stop on the five-week Outlaw Monster Truck Spectacular tour would be in Greely, CO at the local rodeo arena. The Sturges young guns were feeling the wear and tear from weeks of fast food, lots of miles, and some hard work. This weekend would see Ronnie and Gary taking on two of Don King's monsters, Bearfoot and The General. The Sturges team ended their trip on a high note, sweeping all three rounds with Ronnie grabbing the first in Nasty Boy and Gary bringing home the final two in Unnamed & Untamed. August 23rd – Odessa, TX – After a week to get the trucks back in top condition after a long trip, it was off to Odessa, TX to compete in the AMP Tour Monster Truck Thunder Slam event at the Ector County Coliseum. This event would consist of a sky wheelie contest, straight line racing and freestyle. Sam was back behind the wheel of Unnamed & Untamed as he and Ronnie competed against Twisted Dragon, Redneck Barbie and Crash Master, the old War Wagon recently purchased from Andy Hoffman. Sam grabbed the most vertical time in the wheelie contest but no winner was announced. Sam continued running strong in racing going to the finals and bringing home a runner-up finish. Both trucks did a nice job in freestyle, but the win would go to the hometown Crash Master team. August 30th-31st – Tucson, AZ – Labor Day weekend saw Sturges Motorsports competing in their hometown of Tucson in Dale Penn’s final Tournament of Destruction event of 2008. Sam and Ronnie would be running against follow Tucson native Murph McCrorey in McGruff and veteran Jack Koberna in Tuff Enuff. Saturday would see a big sweep for Sam Sturges in Unnamed & Untamed, as he won both racing competitions and freestyle in a rare, rain-soaked event. It was a heck of a night for Sam and he had permanent smile on his face all night. Peggy Sturges was giving rides in the Boogie Monster R/T to all who wanted one until the rains came. Sunday was a rough night for drivers, trucks, staff and everyone involved as the rains came much harder in a place where there is very little rain. The track was extremely muddy and even flooded in some areas. Chicago-style racing was cancelled and the show would be straight line and freestyle only. Sam was one of the only trucks to get much in the way of wheelies going in the wet conditions, but the win would go to Jack Koberna in Tuff Enuff as he pulled off a great, muddy donut during his run. All in all, it was another great hometown weekend for the Sturges team as there is nothing like getting to perform in front of friends and family. September 13th – Tijuana, Mexico – After a nice week off, the team headed south of the border for the big Monster Trucks Showdown at Estadio Calimax in Tijuana, Mexico. Being invited to participate in the Pro 3 Entertainment events in Mexico is an honor, as they bring the heavy hitters in to show the Mexico fans what monster trucks are all about. This weekend Ronnie and Gary in Unnamed would be taking on top trucks including Bounty Hunter, Iron Outlaw, Obsession, Deal Breaker, Natural High and McGruff. The racing course would be tough with some tight turns and the Sturges trucks went down in the first round. Freestyle however would see both Ronnie and Gary put forth strong runs with including some wild wheelies. There would end up being no single winner of freestyle as Bounty Hunter and Iron Outlaw finished the night with a dual freestyle. It was another great weekend in Mexico with Pro 3 Entertainment and the Sturges team looks forward to returning for Monster Trucks Showdown events in Monterrey and Hermosillo later this year. Stay tuned to the site for continued updates as Sturges Motorsports plans to finish out 2008 strong this fall!!
Hometown Show & More!! (June 30th, 2008) Sturges Motorsports has stayed very busy over the last few weeks, with events from Tucson to San Bernardino. We've had some great times, put on some good shows, and enjoyed the company of friends and fans along the way. Here's a recap of what we've been up to: May 17th - Lake Havasu, AZ - After a couple weeks off, we were back on the road in beautiful Lake Havasu. Ronnie carried the Sturges Motorsports banner high in the one-night only Monster Truck Thunder Slam at Havasu 95 Speedway, driving Nasty Boy to a clean sweep of the evening's competition, from straight line and Chicago-style racing to freestyle. Sam helped run the show while giving Rich Rutledge an opportunity to pilot Unnamed & Untamed for the first time. Rich did a fine job for his first outing. The Boogie Monster was also on hand giving fans a first hand experience of riding in a real monster truck. The line for rides out on the Speedway were long, but the Boogie Monster stayed until every fan who wanted a ride got one. Check out video from the event below courtesy of our friends at TheMonsterBlog.com:
June 14th-15th - Tucson, AZ - During another couple weeks off to help catch up on projects around the shop, excitement built for the second hometown show of the year over at the Rodeo Grounds in Tucson. Dale Penn always puts on a great Tournament of Destruction event, and the Sturges team would be going head to head with fellow hometown-er McGruff and Gary Schott's new Terminator machine. Friday night started off with, what we thought was a win for Ronnie and Nasty Boy in straight line racing, but a called red light handed the win to McGruff. Chicago-style racing was up next and Sam beat Ronnie in the semi-finals, but Unnamed & Untamed would fall to McGruff in the final round. Freestyle was all Nasty Boy despite a solid run from Unnamed, as Ronnie walked the truck up and down the track to the delight of the fans. Saturday would see Ronnie capitalize on his second chance at straight line racing, beating McGruff in a photo finish. The two trucks would meet again in the finals of Chicago-style and you could feel the tension as both drivers were determined to win. Ronnie was on the gas hard and launched Nasty Boy skyward--but on the landing, the left front wheel hit a wheelie bump causing the truck to pitch violently up on right side tires. Ronnie put the petal to the metal and pulled off a great save, bringing Nasty Boy back to all fours after being all the way up on the sidewalls. He may not have won the race, but his save definitely was the move of the night. Looking to close the show on a high note, Sam and Ronnie roared to the track together in freestyle, putting on a great dual run with both trucks pulling off some big wheelies to the delight of the hometown fans. Check out video of Ronnie's great save below courtesy of Bobbi Davis, see TheMonsterBlog.com site for footage of the whole show.
June 21st - Lancaster, CA - A tour of California was up next and the first stop would be for the Outlaw Monster Truck Spectacular at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster, CA. The Sturges team welcomed back Gary Schott Jr., who returns to the wheel of Unnamed & Untamed while the team is in California. In an event featuring rounds of freestyle only, both Ronnie and Gary put forth strong runs. To cap it all off, they teamed up for another tandem freestyle run which the crowd loved--see video of the run below, courtesy of YouTube. On to San Bernardino.
June 28th - San Bernardino, CA - The Orange Showgrounds would be the site for another one-night only Outlaw Monster Truck Spectacular event. Despite strong runs from Gary and Ronnie in the first two rounds of freestyle, they were topped by Natural High and Obsession for the win. So what did they do for round three? You guessed it. Another crowd-pleasing tandem freestyle. It just doesn't get much cooler than Nasty Boy and Unnamed & Untamed wheelie-ing down the track in opposite directions. And so closed another show on a high note for Sturges Motorsports. Next up is one of the biggest events of the year for the Sturges team. The huge San Diego County Fair in Del Mar for WGAS Motorsports. Nasty Boy and Unnamed & Untamed will take on an impressive field of competitors over several days of competition including Bounty Hunter, Rock Star, Iron Outlaw, Deal Breaker, Obsession, Play'N 4 Keeps and Natural High.

Present for that event were Sudden Impact, T-Maxx, Bigfoot, Iron Outlaw, Bounty Hunter & Q Torque Power. Some MT’s competed in a Wheelie Contest or Donut Contest, then one run at Freestyle each day.

Sam received an award for the Monster Blogs 2007 Move of the Year. Ross Bonar of the Monster Blog was on hand to present this award to Sam. Fans may have noticed the new AMSOIL logo’s on Nasty Boy & Unnamed & Untamed this weekend. AMSOIL is now an official sponsor for Sturges Motorsports. Peggy Sturges was on the other side of the grounds with the Boogie Monster. With the Boogie Monster being so close to home, fans were able to get a ride at a very reasonable rate. Fans were also able to purchase the new Boogie Monster T-shirts. As recently as this past weekend Sturges Motor Sports received some reports of false information about our team on individual My Space Accounts. We just want to let our fans know that any news regarding our team will be reported on this site or The Monster Blog only. Saturday April 19th in Indio CA, Sturges Motor Sports competed at a Steve Quercio event. It was a one day event featuring Freestyle only. The competing Monster Trucks took three turns each with Sam Sturges in Unnamed & Untamed taking the middle event and Ronnie Sturges in Nasty Boy taking the 1st & 3rd events. Very good evening as Sam stopped in Phoenix, picked up two of his Grand Children and took them along. Unnamed & Untamed, Nasty Boy along with the Boogie Monster will be in Havasu Saturday May 17th. The event will take place at the Havasu 95 speedway. Hope to see you there!!

Ross will be making the trip to present Sam this award. The Boogie Monster will not be in Indio as announced earlier; however the Boogie Monster will be giving rides at Firebird next weekend. Please don’t forget to stop by and say hello!!
Sturges Motorsports Update!! (April 13th, 2008) It has been a few weeks since we have reported any news, however the other weekend at Tucson AZ was very interesting. Sturges Motorsports competed against some very tough competition against Maniac & Jurassic Attack. Sam was on a roll as he took straight line racing Friday night and Chicago Style Saturday night. Speaking of being on a roll, he did just that in Saturday Freestyle. Going over a van stack Unnamed & Untamed went over. After finally having the body fixed from Indio and freshly painted, there will be more work to do. A freestyle winner was not declared either night, but with the competition all having short runs & mechanical problems, it seems that Nasty Boy took freestyle easily on Saturday night. The Boogie Monster was on hand giving rides as always at Dale Penn’s Tucson show. The Boogie Monster will also be back in action at Indio, CA this weekend, come on out and take a ride at the upcoming AMP event. A bit more news to announce as Justin “The Fease” Feaser resigned stating personal reasons as the cause. We sure appreciate The Fease’s contributions and wish him well. So if you are near Indio this weekend, stop in and say hello, maybe even take a ride on the Boogie Monster.
Sturges Motorsports Update!! (February 26th, 2008) It has been a few weeks since we have reported any news, however this last weekend at Indio, CA was a very interesting one. Sturges Motorsports competed against some very tough competition in a freestyle-only event. This WGAS Motorsports event included: Playn' for Keeps, TNT, Rock Star, Goin' For Broke, Hog Wild, Sheer Insanity, and Deal Breaker, with Nasty Boy & Unnamed & Untamed of course. Justin “The Fease” Feaser aired Unnamed & Untamed out a little too much, hitting hard and causing some damage. Sam Sturges said all repairs will be made and Unnamed & Untamed will be as good as new by the end of the week. Nasty Boy also lost a wheel over the weekend, but had it fixed with no loss of time on the track. Ronnie “Nasty Boy” Sturges put up some very good wheelies at each event and The Fease gained more seat time learning a very valuable lesson. Sam and the boys are going to take a break for a couple weeks. Sam wants to get some work done on the big trucks and finish some projects before the Tournament of Destruction invades the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. Until then, everyone take care & hope to see you in Tucson soon!!

Sam Sturges was on hand Saturday night with his Mad Trax tank performing a car flip. Sam put on a great performance flipping the car backwards over the tank much to the delight of the crowd. Ronnie “Nasty Boy” Sturges was on a roll taking racing both nights along with the wheelie contest on Friday. The big surprise was Justin “The Fease” Feaser taking freestyle over some very tough competition on Saturday night. This was The Fease’s first Freestyle victory and he now can add to his resume that he beat a Bigfoot in Freestyle. There was some confusion as to who won freestyle Friday night as the announcer neglected to mention the winner. But AMP CEO Scott Hart confirmed to Ronnie that he had indeed swept all three events the previous night. After a very cold, but successful weekend in Aztec, the Sturges team headed back down to Tucson, but not before Sam let the boys know how proud he was of their performance.

Missing his guidance, Nasty Boy & The Fease still done very well especially in the wheelie contests. Both drivers put up nice wheelies all weekend with the highlight coming during the Saturday matinee. There was a winner by applause and a tie between Unnamed & Untamed and Ghost Ryder. The cheer-off was called in Ghost Ryder's favor, but it sounded very close and could have went either way.
