2001 PRO TRUCK RACING SERIES
SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge
January 19th - 21st, 2001 - Laughlin, Nevada

Barlow Powers His Red Bull Ford Victory In The Season Opener!

Laughlin, Nv, Jan 21st - The SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge drew 10 Protrucks into competition for the 2001 season opener on Jan. 19th - 21st in Laughlin, Nv. A unique desert short-course event on the Protruck Racing Series schedule, the race is run on a 13-mile loop with an 75-minute time limit to run four laps on both Saturday and Sunday. The track hosts a

short-course section, accommodating spectator stands, hospitality areas, a manufacturers' midway and the pit area and then loops out the desert, with lap times for the Protrucks of approximately 15 minutes. The overall elapsed times from both Saturday and Sunday's races are combined to award the victory. Protrucks raced with the Trophy Trucks and the Class 8 trucks, besting all of the Class 8s on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday Round
Scott Steinberger of Signal Hill, CA executed the quintessential come-from-behind victory on Saturday, having started in the fifth row of the 10 starters. Charging hard from flag to flag, Scott drove the LYCOS/PCI-Ford #270 along with the Protrucks, Class 8s and Trophy Trucks. Scott was the first Protruck across the finish with the day 1 time of 0:57:15.

Steve Barlow Ford #299 wasn't far behind, driving his Protruck super hard throughout the race, Steve got a flat tire lap 4 and was the second Protruck to the finish. Leading in the flock of Protrucks behind Scott and Steve was Rob Reinertson in the Ford #243, posting in at 3rd and Rich Hoffman in the EJR Racing Chevy #244 both with the same elapsed time of 0:59:23 (Rob received a higher placing because his lap 1 time was faster than Rich's). Matt Scaroni, Ryan Herzog, Tony Licitra, and Steve Olliges came in respectively. Chet Huffman and newcomer Jason Cobb placed eighth and ninth.

Sunday Round
The field of 9 Protrucks went off the line in opposite order of finish, starting with the last finisher of Day 1, starting first Day 2. The leader of the Sunday pack was local favorite Steve Olliges, Protruck pilot for Ford #296, Steve had never driven a Protruck before and was named on how "fast and forgiving" the Protrucks were, Scott Steinberger, Steve Barlow and Rob Reinertson caught up quickly, with Scott still into he lead after lap 1; that ended when Scott lost oil pressure on lap 2 and the battle was between Steve Barlow and Rob Reinertson for the overall lead, Rob had a broken bump stop, but regained pace and Steve describes they were sharing the same trail and "rubbing fenders" from that point on. When lap four concluded, Rob Reinertson was the first to the finish with Steve Barlow in second. Jason Cobb and the PartsAmerica.com Ford was third (purchased Plank Motorsports Ford) with the fastest time for the Sunday round at 0:14:54.
Next through the finish was Steve Olliges, Steve Scaroni (flat tire on lap 3), Tony Licitra, Rich Hoffman, and Scott Steinberger, Ryan Herzog did not finish.

Rob Reinertson couldn't believe what a beating his Protruck could take on the tough, intense course! He captured the hard fought second in the Protruck overall placings clocking in at 1:59:25. Steve Olliges Ford #296 says he was disappointed for the Saturday race (bump stop replacement lap 1). After he started to get a feel for the truck, he claims he "was on a mission Sunday" and never looked back, he placed a surprising third place into he class in combined time and clocked in at 2:05:33.

In the final combined standings for Protruck Class, Steve Scaroni's SMD Veg-packer Ford placed fourth and the TL Racing #242 Chevy owned by Tony Licitra was fifth. Richard Hoffman Chevy #244 out of Illinois posted on sixth place and Scott Steinberger had a wheel and oil pressure problem Sunday, which placed him seventh. Eighth place went to Ryan Herzog in his Herzog Electric-Ford. He completed all four laps on Saturday, but a wheel problem let him only finish 3 laps on Sunday. Jason Cobb and the PartsAmerica.com Ford completed only two of the four laps on Saturday (fastest time on Sunday), which places him at ninth in the overall finishing.
