2018 NASCAR Truck Thread

Sauter. Old school guy knows how to play the qualifying game.

Because Dover doesn't have lights

Then why are the trucks running there? Triple header weekend at a track with no lights, yeah that makes sense.

A night race at Dover in any of the top 3 series would get my money

And nobody will see it because everyone will be on their way home from work.

oh that is your axe to grind..yeah that would suck. not going to tell him I will be watching. eek.

I suppose it's my own fault for not setting the DVR to record it, but I wasn't expecting such an early start.

The trucks typically put on a really good show, and it's a shame that NASCAR doesn't do them any favors with the schedule.

I hear that. No argument from me. Starts at 4 here in the CST time zone. It is replayed showing 3:00 am on FS-1 Saturday morning

I have mine preset to record the Cup Xfinity and Truck races. Among other reasons, I like to watch them after I get back from a track trip.

Great race...Sauter smoked 'em.

Does Waltrip always push the youth? Seems that is the predominate thing he talks about.

He push's Toyota's, especially JGR, kybu and kbm's drivers. He and Darrell has and has had a contract with them for years. It's a known fact and not too hard to verify.

 

[sdj]

I set my DVR to max start early and max end late on all three series. Paid off a lot of times.

Truck races are the best of the three series, JMHO (but I am correct on this)

Jennifer Jo Cobb driving two trucks will be something to watch.

Oh lordy, entry #5.

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah KDB said at the first of the season he was going to be at Kansas. One can hope for another wheel to fall off. If Gragson is better than him he won't pass him. The others, one can hope.

 

[Efisher131]

Oh lordy, entry #5.

I'm glad I'll be at the local short track Friday night

 

[Allenbaba]

I’m hearing that “Cup Series deal” could be Kenseth for a race or two.

Same company just a different brand.

Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. will run double duty this weekend at Kansas Speedway.

Wallace will drive the No. 20 Chevrolet for Young’s Motorsports, which will be his first Truck start since last season at Michigan, which he won with MDM Motorsports.

[Towmater]

The article conveniently forgets to add that the win was cucumbered.

 

[StandOnIt]

You should have been around when Bubba was full time and KDB at least half of the races were driving KBM trucks. One or the other or both would be dirty frequently.

New tire compounds on both sides for the trucks @ Kansas

Entry list for the Trucks at Charlotte.

 

[Johali]

Well, there goes another chance to have a good race.

 

[Yogisd1]

Am I mistaken, or is Kyle Busch the only cup driver in this race?

 

[StandOnIt]

He is going for the full time cup driver racing in the truck series win record trophy.

Hopefully Gragson and Moffitt put up a fight again.

Maybe Sauter will have a fast truck and give him hell also. He's been fast for most of the races this year.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'd like to see the big fish in a little pond get another mouthful of grass this week

 

[DIDIT]

Yep, he is getting really desperate to reach that milestone win number before NASCAR puts a halt to his minor league racing days.
