Rookie Storlie Shocks Mid-Am Super Truckers
SAUK CENTRE, MN -- A longtime race observer a few years ago saw Mark Storlie
race in the Thunder Stock Division at Elko Speedway and had some prophetic
words. "This Storlie guy is the real deal," said the race
track official.
Storlie landed a ride in the Mid-Am Super Truck Series early this Spring and
much to the surprise of everyone the rookie is leading the point standings
after two races. He finished third in the series opener at I-70 Speedway
and had an impressive win Saturday night at Madison International Speedway,
beating out the largest field of super trucks ever assembled at the track.
The lanky Elko, MN driver is just happy to have the opportunity to compete in
the touring division. "I've got to thank Nic Brewer for the chance to
drive his truck," Storlie said.
"I hope the rest of the season goes the way the first two races
went," Storlie added. "My goal was to win the rookie of the
year title and now I have a shot at that and the title. I'll try to make
it happen," he said.
Conrad Jorgenson, who himself dominated super truck racing in the Twin Cities
area, has help Storlie much in preparing his super trucks for the speedways.
Storlie ran some of the Mid-American Stock Car Series last year. He
ranks leading the Mid-American race at Milwaukee for over half the distance
and taking a Mid-Am feature win at Elko Speedway as the highlights of his
career.
The next Mid-Am Super Truck event is Sunday night, July 3 at I-94 Raceway in
Sauk Centre, MN in conjunction with the American StockCar League (ASL) 150
with qualifying at 5 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. The super truck
feature will be 50 laps.
Twenty-eight different drivers has compete in the first two series events, a
division record for early season racing.
