Lee Setser & AJ Marasco take King of Stock titles

The inaugural running of the King of Stock Off-road Championship hosted by NewRed Hobbies took place last weekend. NewRed Hobbies is an indoor track located in north-central Florida with a very unique surface that is hard packed clay that is glued. With this race being 13.5T and 17.5T stock only, total entry count was a little smaller at 78 across the six classes; 2WD Indy buggy, 2WD SCT, 2WD Expert, 4WD Expert, Stadium Truck, and RTR Sportsman. Three rounds of qualifying were run on Saturday. Team Associated driver Lee Setser put in a dominating performance in the 4WD expert class with a perfect score for the overall TQ. The 2WD Expert class was very competitive in qualifying with Team Associated driver AJ Marasco and former World Champion Billy Easton (Serpent) trading TQ runs throughout qualifying, but Billy secured the overall TQ in the 3rd round. After qualifying ended, they had a 10-minute/no turn-marshal “Dash for Cash” for the Expert 2WD A-main drivers. There was an amazing 3-way battle between AJ Marasco, Lee Setser, and Billy Easton, but in the end, it was JConcepts Lee Setser taking the win and cash prize.
