"Indomitus" making its final appearance at Bandit Big Rig Series
Biodiesel truck to highlight innovations in soybean
MANKATO, Minn., July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- After nearly 18 months in the North Star State, "Indomitus," the truck built by the stars of Discovery's "Diesel Brothers," is returning to Idaho. But before the truck departs Minnesota, Indomitus is taking a victory lap at the Bandit Big Rig Series at Elko Speedway on Saturday, July 27.
Indomitus has appeared at nearly 75 state events in Minnesota and traveled 15,000 miles since arriving in spring 2018. The Ford truck is 11 feet long and the only true 6x6 super duty pickup. The truck runs on biodiesel, America's first advanced biofuel. The Minnesota Research & Promotion Council (MSR&PC) will also have a booth where the organization will be highlighting the latest new uses and innovation derived from soybeans.
"It's been a heck of a ride for Indomitus," says MSR&PC Cole Trebesch. "The Bandit events last year were extremely well-received and we couldn't think of a better stage for Indomitus to make its grand exit than this year's Bandit Big Rig Series."
The race gates open at 3 p.m. and the green flag drops at 7 p.m. This year's theme is celebrating "the iron giants of asphalt," and will feature a Kid's Zone, Vendor Row and a Fan Series Truck Show. Free admission for kids eight years of age and younger, specialty seating and discount tickets are available at www.banditseries.com.
"We're excited once again to partner with the Soybean Council on this unique event," says Jason Johnson, GM of the Bandit Big Rig Series. "Last year's race featuring Indomitus brought a huge amount of attention and enthusiasm to the race, and we're excited to send the truck out in style."
