The Slowtwitch ice cream truck is illegally parked in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. News editor Herbert Krabel will report on the race, and we're keeping our fingers crossed we won't get towed.

It's going to be fierce, hard and tactical all at the same time. Second place counts for nothing here, so expect the racers to let it all hang out. We're onsite and ready to bring you the action.
