Mountaineer Motorsports - Jon Zimmer - Excaliber - RB Moler - West Virginia MountaineerAPRIL 18, 2012 (Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia)
The Mountaineer Motorsports group is ready for a big summer season and is ready to turn heads in 2012. After a great winter season on the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam tour with the West Virginia Mountaineer and XXX State of Destruction monster trucks the team would like to thank all of the great fans and Feld Motorsports for their support. Mountaineer Motorsports had strong showings across the United States and met some great fans along the way! Now, with the Summer season approaching, the team is ready to rise to the next level and has teamed up with the New Boston, Michigan based Excaliber 4×4 team of Jon Zimmer and Tim Bush.

“For years, Jon has been a top contender in monster trucks and we are very happy to welcome him to our team. We look forward to a great summer and having lots of fun,” stated RB Moler. The Excaliber and West Virginia Mountaineer trucks will launch a 28 show schedule starting in May and ending in September. “We can’t wait to see all of our great fans come out and support us, you are truly the best fans in the world and we can’t thank you enough!” said Excaliber driver Jon Zimmer. “I’m excited to be a part of Mountaineer Motorsports but would like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career, this will be a great step and a great new home for myself and Excaliber,” he continued

A schedule will be released soon at www.MountaineerMotorsports.com.

A special thanks to the great sponsors who keep Mountaineer Motorsports running, North Star Contract Carriers of Howell, Michigan, and VP Racing Fuels.

Monster Profile: Lee O’Donnell

Lee O'Donnell - Iron Man - Monster Profile

Lee O’Donnell is an accomplished off-road racer who is known for being able to drive almost anything with an engine, specializing in short-course off-road racing, and now monster trucks. O’Donnell made his debut in 2001, took a break to go back to off-road racing, then returned as a “super sub” of sorts, winning a big race in Atlanta filling in for Linsey Weenk in Blue Thunder. After several successful fill-in roles, Lee was back to driving monster trucks. He is also known for his colorful personality and open, honest, and humorous interviews. After bouncing around to several teams in the industry to begin his career, Lee has settled into the role of the main driver for the Iron Man truck. Josh Rhodes and Ed Hoormann caught up with Lee in St. Louis, Missouri before the show to get his thoughts on a wide variety of subjects, including the Monster Jam World Finals. We thank Lee and Brenda O’Donnell for their time. [Read more…]
