I’m impressed they’re only 4 mph slower than Martinsville. They definitely keep learning how to run this place faster and faster
 
I still find it unbelievable that Matt Crafton has only 1 win the past 2 seasons and it came a year ago here at Eldora..random lol.

As for the race, watch out for my boy Sheldon Creed, my father is a high up at Unitel Rentals and I worked for the company for a bit, so ive followed the kids career. Stadium Super Truck champ and soon to be ARCA champ, he could be this years Bobbie Pierce

Chavous beat that truck up pretty bad on his qualifying lap
 
Track badly needs water. Cold front came thru yesterday and wiped the humidity out around here which is probably helping the track dry out and slick up. I’ve never seen so much dust trailing these trucks

Definitely more then usual, I feel like it's always drier in the qualifying and heats and then less dusty for the feature

For sure but this track is crazy dry. Hopefully they don’t overwater the low side again. That was awful to watch as it lost its multi groove feature
 
I miss dirt track racing so much ! I look forward to this race every year.The fans must be covered in dust by the end lol.

The trucks can't coil bind their front suspension, but this does the same thing to limit travel. They call it a pig tail or pig tailing the front suspension

 
Gragson is too sick to qualify, maybe KBM grabs Daniel Suarez or Erik Jones to race the truck?
 
As usual, the trucks put on a show in practice, plenty of drafting passing and side by side racing..in practice? yeah in practice :) Gragson driving like he was on fire as usual.
