Chetek, WI (December 19, 2011) – After several successful seasons competing in the TORC Sportsman Super Stock Truck division, Eric Ruppel moved up in class to the V8 powered PRO-Light division with the purchase of a brand new Jenkins Brothers chassis as he and team engineer/crew chief Kent Kramer assembled their first true all out short course off-road race truck.
