CHARLOTTE, N.C. (April 29, 2016) – CBS Sports Network will broadcast rounds six and seven of the 2016 SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks Presented by TRAXXAS World Championship from Long Beach, California on Saturday, April 30 at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT).

The one-hour broadcast will feature two thrilling races from the Grand Prix of Long Beach, as they will be shown in their complete entirety.

SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks feature identically prepared trucks, which are made to resemble their scaled-down TRAXXAS radio-control-car counterparts.

About SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks Presented by TRAXXAS

Influenced by the former Mickey Thompson Stadium Off-Road Racing Series, where drivers such as Gordon, Casey Mears and six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson got their start, Gordon created SST in response to the public's overwhelming interest in trucks and off-road racing. His plan to re-launch the former stadium series has led to exciting racing on both asphalt and dirt, while producing one of the most extreme forms of action sports today.

Other than the trucks launching 20 feet in the air covering distances more than 150 feet, what sets the SST program apart from other series is the fact that all the SST trucks are identically prepared and delivered to drivers in race-ready condition. Race winners are decided by driver skill rather than individual team engineering and budgets. Drivers and their personal mechanics are assigned specific SST mechanics who together tune and make minor adjustments to the 600-horsepower trucks.
