"Black Rhino/RacerX Motorsports' Jerett Brooks Earns Top 5 Finish at X Games"
June 12, 2015 El Cajon, CA- Black Rhino/RacerX Motorsports sponsored athlete Jerett Brooks earns a hard fought 5th place finish in the Stadium Super Trucks event at X Games Austin.
In what was considered the deepest field ever put together for a off road truck race, Jerett Brooks showed he absolutely belongs in the discussion of the elite drivers in off road racing today. Brooks was quick to adapt to his Rigid Industries/General Tire/GoPro backed truck after not being in the seat since X Games last year and was one of the fastest drivers in practice and qualifying. Brooks had a hard fought battle with last years Gold medalist Apdaly Lopez in his heat eventually securing a spot in the SST Final over Lopez.
Jerett’s starting position for the SST final was mid pack however he was unfortunately spun out in turn two on the first lap which dropped him to the very back of the field. Brooks used this incident as motivation and drove a masterful race working his way back through the star studded field to finish 5th when the race was pre-maturely called due to a crash.
“The X Games are where the top athletes in Action Sports come once a year to compete against each other and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to race against some of the biggest names in 4 wheel racing!” Says Jerett Brooks “ I also can’t thank Rigid Industries, General Tire & GoPro enough for giving me the opportunity to compete on the biggest stage in this sport!!”
Jerett will compete next at Rounds 7 & 8 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series to be held at Miller Motorsports Park June 20th & 21st in Tooele, UT. He looks to continue his great start to this season and build off the momentum from X Games to regain the series points lead in the Pro Lite division.
