(Champaign, IL) Hall Brothers Racing is proud to announce that MTRA Rookie of the year candidate Mat Dishman will take over the seat in the team’s Rammunition monster truck. “Mat has earned this chance—he started with us while he was in high school cleaning parts and running errands for us after school. He has worked his way up and knows these trucks inside out” said team co-owner Tim Hall. “I know Mat is excited, and I think I can teach him a few things to help him become a championship contender. I know he has a good truck under him—that RAM is a winner!” added Mark Hall.
The move was made to accommodate long time driver Geremie Dishman who is leaving to spend more time at home. “Geremie’s daughter Hope is growing up fast, and Geremie wanted to be home more to have more time with her. Who could question that? We wish him all the best. He will still be involved with us from time to time” said Tim Hall.
“We have had a lot of people ask about who will drive our other race truck” added Mark Hall. “Quite frankly, we are flattered that so many people are interested in what we are going to do. We are currently talking to our sponsors and exploring all opportunities, and we will make a announcement regarding that truck at an appropriate time.”

Well fans, its a huge weekend for monster trucks as two of the biggest events of the summer are happening on opposite ends of the country and TMB is on hand for all the action!!
Tonight the Monster Truck Challenge Back to School Bash returns to The Dirt Track @ Charlotte Motor Speedway as 10 trucks will once again take on the wildest racing course in the history of monster trucks. TMB’s Chris Parrish is on hand filming for what will be Episode #2 of the new ActionTracks series and he’ll have all the highlights as Mike Hawkins in Equalizer looks to win it all for third straight year in Charlotte. He’ll take on Avenger, Raminator, Stone Crusher, Mopar Magic, Backdraft, Brutus, Hot Tamale, War Wizard and Tail Gator – what a lineup!

Out west, its the annual Maverik Clash of the Titans at Rocky Mountain Raceway in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah today and tomorrow. Twelve trucks will take on the tricky figure 8 style race course and our own Colby Marshall is on hand for all the fun as he too will be filming for another new TMB TV spinoff video series – stay tuned for more news on that. The lineup will feature drivers who have dominated at RMR before – Dan Runte in Retro-Bigfoot, Jimmy Creten in Bounty Hunter and David Smith in King Krunch. They’ll take on some tough RMR first timers including Jon Zimmer in Amsoil Shock Therapy and Rick Swanson in Obsession who are both expected to contend for victories. El Matador, Ms. Bigfoot, Obsessed, Maverik Monster Trakkar, Excaliber, Iron Outlaw and Captain USA round out the lineup.

Monster trucks returned to the Canfield Fairgrounds last weekend as Family Events brought the Monster Nationals series to town for the very first time!! 2010 Monster Nationals Racing Champion Rick Long in Bigfoot #15 would take on Avenger, Raminator, Brutus, Lucas Oil Stabilizer and Rammunition in racing and freestyle competitions.
Long would be the weekend’s big winner as he took one racing win and two freestyles with some great slap wheelies. Mark Hall in Raminator and Geremie Dishman in Rammunition each picked up racing wins, while Chris Bergeron in Brutus was the only driver to top Long in freestyle.
A big thanks to Family Events for a great weekend and of course to resident TMB Super Photographer Paul M. Harry for once again putting together an amazing set of photos. As the Monster Nationals 2010 Tour is now complete, a big congratulations to 2010 Racing Champion Rick Long and to 2010 Freestyle and Wheelie Champion Jocelyn Perrin in High Maintenance on their incredible seasons!!

One of the most storied venues in monster truck history was the scene this past weekend for another round of the 2010 Monster Truck Thunder Drags – the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. A season that started off with great competition for the championship between Dan Runte in the Retro Bigfoot and Mark Hall in the new Raminator has now become the yearly Hall Brothers Racing domination tour as Mark went 3 out of 4 in Bloomsburg, with teammate Geremie Dishman in Rammunition getting the other win. Hall’s lead over 2nd place Runte is now massive after the dominant weekend and Bigfoot’s championship hopes are beginning to dwindle. In addition to the racing, there was plenty of great freestyle action from all eight trucks as well.
With the TMB crew scattered across the country this weekend, we have to send out a HUGE thanks to our good friend Jason Miller for submitting some absolutely gorgeous photos from Saturday in Bloomsburg – click the link below to check out his amazing work.
