The Samson Monster Truck Racing team is proud to announce that crew chief and PEI team member Rick Steffens will be joining the Father\/Daughter driving duo of Allison and Dan Patrick as a driver of Samson. Steffens is set to pilot Samson this coming weekend in our first racing event of 2015 at Kil-Kare Speedway in Xenia, Ohio. We’re excited to have Steffens behind the wheel and see what he brings to the table as a driver. As a lifelong monster truck fan Steffens regularly volunteered at events to help out monster truck teams in his youth, eventually becoming a crew chief for some of the top trucks and drivers in the industry,\u00a0 and then became a member of the Samson\/PEI team in 2014.With plenty of hands on experience of his own as well as the wealth of knowledge from Dan and Allison, we’re confident Steffens will do a fine job behind the wheel and do Samson fans proud.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out our schedule page<\/a> to see where you can find Samson this summer. Also don’t forget to like us on Facebook for more info on all things Samson and PEI.
