Dan Orser, Clarence Oosterhoff, Tyler Kronebusch and Matthew Giesbrecht earned the right to compete after they won the Volvo truck technician North American Championship (VISTA) last month in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Babine finished 11th out of 70 teams in 2013 and general manager John Bandstra says it’s quite an accomplishment even qualifying.

“They’re a very dedicated group of guys that work together very well and are passionate about the product. They live for this kind of thing, it’s a big deal.”
