UROC Super Crawl
BFGoodrich teams dominated the world's largest rock-crawling event scoring the top eight positions in the Unlimited Class and finishing atop the Super Stock Class. Jon Bundrant claimed the Unlimited Class championship by battling his way to some of the most difficult rock obstacles this year. Jeff Mello scored his first victory in the Super Stock Class by finishing up the final day strong.

With the victory, BFGoodrich Tires continues to reinforce its position as the number one tire in rock-crawling with its Krawler T/A KX tire scoring more than 70 percent of the victories this year. BFGoodrich Tires teams captured an overwhelming number of championships this year including series championships in EROCC, Neurock, Prorock and UROC. During the event's halftime ceremonies on Saturday, BFGoodrich representatives gave away the Karnivore, a replica of John Gilleland's rock-crawling rig to John Casey of Red Bluff, California.
