Scotty Steele Scores First Career Stadium Super Truck Victory in Toronto

On Saturday in the first of two events for the Stadium Super Trucks this weekend at the Honda Indy Toronto, it’d be Scotty Steele picking up his first career victory at the end of the event.

 

Steele entered the weekend confident, based on a pair of podiums last year in Toronto and a solid practice session on Friday.

 

Last year’s winner Sheldon Creed finished second, followed by Robby Gordon, Keegan Kincaid, Charles Dorrance, Matt Brabham, Bill Hynes, EJ Viso and Russell Boyle.

 

Steele will look to sweep the weekend in today’s event, which will probably take place in the rain based on the forecast. That doesn’t faze the youngster, though, as he says that he loves racing in the rain. In comparing dry to wet, he says it’s very different and the biggest spot that you have to be careful is on concrete versus asphalt.

 

“When you’re on the concrete, wherever your truck was pointed before the concrete, that’s where it’s going to be after the concrete,” he commented on Friday. “You really have to get your car pointed straight before you get to the concrete to really allow it to go somewhere.”

 

The Toronto circuit does have plenty of those patches as more corners have a concrete patch in the center, despite the track being made up of asphalt mainly. In comparing the 11-turns, Steele says the spot to watch is going into turn three.

 

“It’s such a big staightaway and you’re going so fast, you don’t have a lot of space to slow down,” he commented. “It makes it that much harder because these cars don’t like to stop themselves, already.”
