Truck RACE thread --- Texas

[TexasRaceLady]

Nice way to end a week -- a race. At least the weather is cooperating.

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah it's nice 70 degrees.

8:43p ET is Truck green, stages 40-40-87, 4 sets tires, fuel 48-51 laps here at Texas.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

I'll be watching to see how quickly Tyler Anrkum is able to race his way through the field from his 33rd starting spot, and how long Stewart Friesen can keep it in the top 5.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Overcast skies and 75 degrees for the green flag of this one.

 

[Kiante]

Something had to be wrong with that 46 truck.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Weird incident

Love trucks on the 1.5ers.

Remember Racing-Forums.com members, if you hang out with squirrels you’re going to get your nuts cracked

 

[StandOnIt]

After Moffit plowed into everybody, looked like the wheels turned right after all.

 

[StandOnIt]

I knew it, you give Eckes an inch and he will take over the lead.

 

[StandOnIt]

McAnally racing has Eckes in first and Zane Smith in 4th and on the move and here comes Kyle lol.

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A strong 1st stage for Stewart Friesen, running 5th.

 

[StandOnIt]

Showing Gray 4 and Heim 5 that started in the rear. Fast trucks either could win the race.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kyle damn is pulling away

 

[StandOnIt]

Sanchez is catching Heim.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Layne Riggs running strong through the first 2 stages, in 6th,

 

[StandOnIt]

Dang Heim slapped him, but Eckes got by.

 

[Brentford]

Ty Dillon 23rd? . These Dillon Boys are having a terrible 1st 25% of the season.

 

[Efisher131]

Are there lights out in turn 3? It’s really dark

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A very quick pace to this one.

 

[StandOnIt]

They are running Busch down, but I wouldn't put it past Busch that he is playing with them

 

[StandOnIt]

Eckes is following Busch it looks like.

 

[StandOnIt]

This restart is going to be good I bet.

Are there lights out in turn 3? It’s really dark

Yeah, KDB said early in the race that the lights were out.

 

[Brentford]

I still don’t understand the wave around rule. Will those guys who are a lap down actually be able to take the wave around since Smith is the only leader who will pit? Is the wave around rule clearly defined or is it at NASCAR’s discretion? I seriously don’t 100% understand it.

What’s the “Wave Around Rule”? Say a caution flag comes out. The lead lap cars all pit. Any cars a lap down who don’t pit would file behind the pace car, followed by the lead lap cars once they leave pit road. This led to these cars that hadn’t pit unlapping themselves, but being on the tail end of the lead lap. To eliminate confusion, the Wave Around Rule was put into place, which sees any of these formerly lapped cars allowed to be “waved around” the pace car and join the lead lap in the back of the pack.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Dang, drivers --- quit running into each other.

 

[StandOnIt]

Holy crap that was crazy Wow!

[FLRacingFan]

Has Dean Thompson ever finished a race cleanly

Nope
Tough break for Enfinger, he got his nuts cracked.

 

[JBone88]

No Truck race is complete without a 5 wide dive bomb washout and crash with 3 to go!

 

[StandOnIt]

I wouldn't turn my head from the tv with this restart.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That would’ve been big…crazy save by Dye. Woah.

 

[StandOnIt]

Woooo hell of a race!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn near had him. Good battle.

Heim and Eckes are at a very different level from most of the rest of these guys.

 

[Brentford]

Kyle is so good at making races look closer than they actually are. I believe he could have finished that one 5 seconds ahead of 2nd place if he wanted to.

 

[StandOnIt]

Damn, Dye despite his truck and a good finish

 

[StandOnIt]

Heim and Eckes are at a very different level from most of the rest of these guys.

Eh there are more than that. They have a damn good group this year.

The 7 truck is so cool looking
