Ugh, why does Kyle have to be racing at Kansas next week? I'll be there and would rather not have to witness Kyle winning a truck race.

Sauter was clearly faster, so Gragson did all he could do.

Cmon David Gilliland!

I'd be surprised if anyone other than Sauter wins this one now. They were many seconds ahead of 3rd.

I can get behind that!

LOL
Gragson got learned today. You don’t want to **** with a guy like Sauter. Did the same **** that got Kenseth turned by Logano and then some.

When Gragson cut him off the first time I knew it wasn't going to end well for him. Johhny does take any ****.

Sauter showed more patience than I would have had, the first time he put Sauter into the walI was yelling turn him!

Ass kicking!!!
You've got that right. Really held my attention. Might have started out a little ho-hum, but really got wound up at the end.

Noah calls that side drafting..wonder what his idea of body slamming is.

I missed his interview? Damn maybe it will be on twitter later. I turned it over to the Braves game that's about to start.

Darn good race, it would have been better if Little didn't screw himself.

Gragson did a good job of wadding up the 18, he didn't hurt the motor though

Road courses and short tracks.
Not a bad little race. The end was just the difference between a 40 year old veteran knowing how to keep his truck straight against a kid who hadn't learned that bumping from the inside is often inadvisable.

Trucks put on a good show

How a wreck can affect a small team like the one @j66anderson has put together:
Jordan AndersonVerified account @j66anderson
He was 3 laps behind us too. Absolutely devastated right now. We had worked so hard all day. We were planning on taking that truck to Kansas and don’t have any of our other trucks complete. Not sure what our next move is but keep us in your prayers these next few days
Tom Nielsen @bighomerfan
Fontaine ran out of talent there.......his truck has been out of control several times today. Really hate it for @j66anderson

I’ll never understand why a 40 year old guy never leaves the Truck Series.

He tried. Ran several Xfinity seasons for RCR, won a few races. Ran one full Cup season. Settled back into the Trucks which is where his talent fits. There are only so many seats.

Totally missing the point.
They both love racing, which is why they both race. If you were Sauter, what would you do? Race for the best Truck team, or be a backmarker in Cup? Last time I checked, Gibbs wasn't offering Sauter a Cup ride.

I actually don’t see the point.
Are you not bagging on a 40 year old for racing in the Truck Series simply because he doesn’t have the talent to drive Cup?
Could Sauter qualify for a JGR Cup ride?

What's his age matter? Why can't a 40 year old race in the Trucks?
He's not good enough to drive for a top team in Cup, so he drives for a top team in the Trucks. It's that simple.

You don't follow this stuff closely.
http://racing-reference.info/driver/Johnny_Sauter
Sauter left, made the most of his ability, which nobody else in history had thought to compare to Kyle Busch's talent, and came back because that's where he tops out. There are a handful of Kyle Busch level drivers in the world. Everyone else gets as far as they can, just like the 50 year-old racing street stocks at the local short track. There's no shame in it.
I don't blame Busch for entering any races he's allowed to enter. And I don't blame the sanctioning body for deciding that lower series should stand more on their own.
