Ricky Johnson qualified fastest in yesterday's qualifying for today's Frozen Rush race.

What do you get when you mix ski slopes with some of the best short-course off-road drivers in the world? Red Bull Frozen Rush, of course, an event that puts trucks Pro 4-style trucks to the test on a unique course built on the slopes of Sunday River Resort in Newry, Maine.

The Red Bull Frozen Rush has returned again for the new year, and the out-of-the-box race is the type of event we�ve become accustomed to from the folks at Red Bull. Timed qualifying was held yesterday to determine starting spots for today�s race. Nine racers are entered into the event, and it was the 2014 inaugural race winner Ricky Johnson who laid down the fastest time, just edging out last year�s winner in Bryce Menzies. Scott Douglas laid down the third-fastest time yesterday.

Scott Douglas was third in qualifying yesterday behind Ricky Johnson and Bryce Menzies.
