2019 Gander Outdoors Truck Series Thread

[Charlie Spencer]

Noah Gragson, William Byron, Christopher Bell, Erik Jones, Bubba Wallace, Brian Scott have all won races at KBM yet they aren't Kyle. I think these guys absolutely deserve flack for not at least winning one IMO.

Of course you can say Todd should have at Mosport, but he's been in the series for a good minute and hasn't shown top 3-5 speed very often.

Fine, then fire them. We've been down this road a few months ago. I'm not a fan of airing the dirty laundry in public as a personnel management strategy.

 

[Kiante]

Kyle I think is pissed because he's won five races in those trucks. Gilliland and Burton have been a bit whelming, but both guys are really young prospects with talent to boot. Interesting because I'm not a fan of airing drivers out in public. Yet, I think Kyle us just being brutally honest at this point. He shouted about Gilliland underperforming, so its just old to him to not be winning outside of himself.

This is the right move as far as contending for a title, and I absolutely think he'll get in.

Nice I was not aware they could change what series they declared for midseason

 

[Kiante]

So, now Chastain will overtake Enfinger as the points leader?

 

[Truex_rox]

8 races for Ross Chastain to put himself in the hunt.

Now there's a story you certainly bet I will be keeping tabs on.

Points and wins from prior races don't count. So he has to crack Top 20 in points (easy) and win a race, unless he goes on a crazy tear to catch the Top 8. I think winning one of eight races left is more than doable, especially with Kyle done.

 

[StandOnIt]

Take it to em Ross.

 

[StandOnIt]

He is the wrong truck but what the heck. Good to see him come back for one at Texas. I saw him in person the first time racing a Roush truck at Texas along with rookie Kurt Busch in the 99 truck before he thought he was special.

Yep. I personally wish the single series rule only applied at the Cup level, but this adds an interesting wrinkle down the stretch and I think he makes it and contends.

Money on the line in the trucks

This is Gilliland's last chance, he has to improve or he is good as gone. Time to find out if its the driver or the crew chief:

Randy Fugle should be with Todd IMO, but he continues to CC for Busch and other drivers in the 51. Get the kid in the right direction, give him the best chance to improve.

 

[racingfan7]

Why is Rudy Fugle not with Harrison or Todd!?

 

[DaBiff1618]

Got luxury suite tickets from work to see the Biff return to action Friday . So leave Fugle on the 51 till after Texas

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This is the right move as far as contending for a title, and I absolutely think he'll get in.

I wish he'd made this decision earlier in the season, but I'll be pulling for him.

Final Practice

Benjamin caught riding dirty.

 

[kkfan91]

I know he hasn't run NASCAR in a few years...but is the Biff that washed up he cant crack the top 10 in the 51?

 

[StandOnIt]

Got a problem with Biff do ya.

 

[StandOnIt]

Final practice data

 

[racingfan7]

I'm glad to see Benjamin is in a decent ride.

Niece Motorsports has underrated talent by far in Kyle Benjamin and Ross.

Posted just now on the Texas Storm Chasers FB page --- Texas Motorspeedway.

This is looking ENE. Rain is moving away from the track.

 

[racingfan7]

Deep down Harrison & Todd are probably a lil happy Biffle hasn't lit up the practice sheets so far.

IndyCar and the Truck Series in the same weekend is about as good as you can get.

 

[Kiante]

JJ Cobb has outpaced Decker all weekend in inferior equipment.

Oh boi.

 

[racingfan7]

Good 'ol Ted Minor 4 seconds off the pace.

Hey at least there's 33 trucks.

 

[DaBiff1618]

6th in 10 lap average...was focused on race pace

Oh boi.

Yep Natalie Wrecker is the unofficial caution clock of the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series.

 

[StandOnIt]

Truck race @ 9:00 close to Dallas

 

[Kiante]

Natalie hit the wall during her quali run... My goodness, the bills have to be crazy for Gilliland and Crosley. I hope N24 is giving a nice chunk of change.

Its not even funny anymore, its sad at this point.

 

[StandOnIt]

one of Kyle's kids on the pole

 

[DaBiff1618]

KB’s tough love must have worked. Todd on the pole, that washed up has been Biffle starting 6th

 

[StandOnIt]

Pretty good lap for Biff. Going to be good one tonight.
