Greatest weekend in racing is getting started.

Clear skies and 79 degrees for the green flag tonight.

It'll be interesting to see how quickly Christian Eckes is able to race his way through the field from his 35th startring spot. And how long Layne Riggs can keep it in the top 5.

18 Ankrum spun in qualifying, 19 was wrecked by Honeycutt in practice, 67 Earnhardt unapproved adjustments.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Go Caruth and Crafton !!

This kid would make a good Truck driver. As DW says he holds a pretty wheel.

Did I hear that right that Heim doesn't have a job next year? I wasn't paying attention.

Yeah, I'm sleepy but I thought that's what I saw before the green. I couldn't reconcile it with the scoring pylon and 134 laps. Apparently someone at Fox isn't going to get a lottery scholarship.

A strong 1st stage for Kaden Honeycutt, in 2nd.

That was a quick, quiet first stage. A couple did flirt with disaster.

And a screwy round of pit exits.

 

[StandOnIt]

Oh boy, we get to watch Heim pass Gray again and drive off.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Chase Purdy running strong through the first 2 stages, in 3rd.

Tonight's race is clipping by at a very quick pace.

I hate to say this because he has been a great player in the Truck Series, but Matt ( 88) needs to let it go. He doesn't have the speed and most of that is on him. No shame, we all get older and a little slower. Its time, Matt.

Shocker FOX missed important pit stops

Heim is flying

I absolutely agree and we are leaving the mountain cabin tommorow (Saturday) just to be back at home for race day on Sunday.

Any grilling out on Sunday will be between the races as well.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Great race so far

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Heim isn’t gaining as much now. Might work into Honeycutt’s favor

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good battle for 2nd.

 

[Spotter22]

11 Cooked his tires, he's done

 

[Spotter22]

Well, new life for the 11

 

[StandOnIt]

Ho boy, here we go.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This is going to get wild

 

[Mispeedway15]

Oh man…

 

[StandOnIt]

Didn't see that one coming Sanchez for the win and the money.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A much-needed 3rd place finish for Stewart Friesen. A caution makes a tough night for Tyler Ankrum, as he finishes 33rd.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Good race.

 

[StandOnIt]

Good race.

So far that is two in a row. The ARCA wasn't bad either.

Seems harsh to disqualify Heim from the race. I suggest penalize a driver one spot for every loose lug nut.

He’s lucky he didn’t shear off a stud. Centrifugal force can do wonders with even 3 lugs, but only two tight is not at all safe. Especially with banking at high speeds
