Leading up to today’s race, off-road racers tackled the slopes yesterday in their short-course trucks to qualify for the 2015 Red Bull Frozen Rush. The racers battled for qualifying spots to determine the starting head-to-head match-ups for the final race.

Ricky Johnson, no stranger racing his truck in the show after a few years under his belt, posted the best time of the day. Qualifying was conducted with only one truck on the track at a time. After the run, the trucks quickly went back to the pits so the crews could do some fine-tuning prep for today’s head-to-head battles.

The Red Bull Frozen Rush will be available for the world to watch in real time tomorrow through Red Bull TV at RedBull.com/frozenrush. The action will start today at 12:30 pm ET on Friday, January 9, 2015.
