That was a crazy move by Eckes. He's lucky he didn't get hit.

How many cautions does Lawless Alan cause per race? On average?

# of laps / # of pit stops expected

 

[FLRacingFan]

????

 

[Charlie Spencer]

WHAT IN HELL?

 

[mkline]

 

[Pat]

WTH??? The whole axle

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Just Marco Andretti things

 

[donthaveanickname]

Who needs an axle?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Have you ever?

 

[donthaveanickname]

That's the kind of stuff that normally only happens to the Andrettis at Indianapolis.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

But the tires stayed up

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

lol

 

[REBS31]

The truck series will never cease to amaze me

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

One turn from the white. Now 20 minutes of waiting for chaos.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Have you ever?

Never, ever.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

How in the what?

I would've waited for Corey to cross the S/F line before throwing the caution.
We're in for a mess again.

Yep. Corey deserved it. This is one of those times where you just let the race end.

Rhodes in 7th has at least 4 laps more fuel than the top 5.

Great shot of the airplane behind the tower. The airport is just across the road from the track.

Wheel hopped too much.

Bruce Cook builds quality race cars.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

I’m a Corey Heim fan.

He went early on that restart.

But I don’t care. He deserves the win.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Corey’s shaking it.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

HEIM TIME!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

When do we guess X will start, 5:30 or so?

 

[StandOnIt]

Heim time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Heim dominated. Well-deserved win.

4th and 6th for the IMSA boys, solid.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A great run for Connor Zilich in his Truck series debut, finishing 4th. Ends up being a tough day for Tyler Ankrum, finishes 25th.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Good to see Corey get rewarded. His truck was the only one without a scratch on it.

Green flag at 5:19 says Jayski.

[Charlie Spencer]

Seems like a good idea...

 

[KTMLew01]

Seems like a good idea...

Truck arms failed. Too many curb & braking induced wheel hops.

 

[BobbyFord]

Tough break for Sanchez today. They had a good truck.

 

[Magnethead]

The truck race was pretty good for being a 1-person breakaway. 2/3 and 4/5 were battling it out quite a bit through the race. Corey just had the field paced by seconds. Safe to say he did his homework.

The andretti axle thing was bizarre. I'm thinking the U-bolts for the truck arms failed. It's the only logical explanation.
