Red Bull Frozen Rush set for Friday

The roar of 900-horsepower engines and cheering fans will reverberate off the snowy mountains of Sunday River Ski Resort in Maine this friday as nine of the best professional off-road racers go head to head for the second Red Bull Frozen Rush. Northeast motorsports fans can watch as the powerful Pro 4 trucks dig their specially designed spiked tires into the snow and speed through trees, soar over 50ft wide gaps, hit multiple jumps, weave through flags and blast around eight-foot tall berms, all while reaching speeds of 100mph.

The field includes nine of the world's top professional off-road truck racers, with decades of motorsports racing experience between them on various terrains but very few have experienced racing on snow. Top talent includes Red Bull Frozen Rush 2014 champion and motorsports legend Ricky Johnson, along with returning competitors Bryce Menzies, Scott Douglas, Todd LeDuce, Rob MacCachren, and Carl Renezeder. Newcomers to the snow are Brian Deegan, RJ Anderson and Chad Hord.

This year, Red Bull Frozen Rush will be available for the world to watch in real time on connected devices, tablets, mobile phones and computers through Red Bull TV at RedBull.com/frozenrush. Fans can watch all the action live starting at 12:30 pm ET on Friday, Jan. 9.

Accessible via the web (www.redbull.tv) and its Android and iOS applications, Red Bull TV is also available as a pre-installed channel on Samsung Smart TVs and Apple TV, and as a free, downloadable app on Roku, Xbox 360, Amazon Fire TV and Nexus Player devices so viewers can watch Red Bull Frozen Rush on the go or from any screen in the house.
