Script:

Below zero temperatures and howling winds couldn't slow the heated racing at Maine's Sunday River Resort, where 900 horsepower off-road trucks thundered across the mountain for Red Bull Frozen Rush on Friday.

The one-of-a-kind event, now in its second year, featured the country's top off-road racers squaring off in a head-to-head competition on a racecourse built on a ski slope.

A crowd of 10,000 spectators watched as Bryce Menzies was able to dethrone reigning champion Ricky Johnson in the finals to claim the crown as the 2015 Red Bull Frozen Rush Champion.

Only in its second year, the event has already become hotly anticipated by the participating drivers and teams for its unique location, snowy terrain and head-to-head format.

Regarded as the newest chapter in off-road history, Red Bull Frozen Rush brought nine of the best off-road truck drivers from across the country to try their hand at conquering the treacherous and freezing-cold New England terrain.
