Branham wins US Monster truck Champs

Branham wins US Monster Truck Nats

Xray are reporting on their site from last weekends US Monster truck Championships that were run on the Johnny Cool Guy Raceway in Euless, Texas. Team driver Rocco Margiotta reports on the race:

After a bad start for both Jason and I, Jason put the petal down and pulled away from me and within a couple minutes was battling with McCrary and Battaile for the top spot. The top three guys, including Jason and Mike would switch spots very frequently throughout the rest of the race, until Battaile (running Losi) broke which let McCrary and Branham take off with me in third. McCrary and Branham would swap places a few more times for the rest of the race until Jason pulled away slightly at the end of the race, which resulted in an all XT8 podium!
