Kevin Harvick is (or is suppost to be) the crew chief for his truck. Ed Berrier who usually is the crew cheif on his truck team is driving the 6 truck.

DW is driving in the spring Martinsville race and at IRL for his brother Michael. Tide is going to sponsor the truck in both races.
 
Top 10 (At 80 laps to go):

Hamilton
Wallace
Crawford
Houston
Gaughan
Kvapil
Leffler
Wood
Berrier
Pressley
 
Yellow Flag is out.

The 66 Truck blew an engiene. Randy MacDonald in the 72 truck also cut a tire and pancaked the wall.
 
Top 6 (At 66 Laps to go):

Hamilton
Houston
Crawford
Pressley
Wallace
Leffler

This is how they started back up after getting out of the pits.
 
Yellow Flag out with 59 laps to go.

Ted Musgrave blew a right rear tire (the tire came right off the truck) and caused a multi-truck pileup also taking out his teamate Jason Leffler. The other trucks invovled are the 93 truck and 54 truck.
 
Harvick let Barrier drive because he had a lot to do this weekend with Busch and Cup, plus Barrier really wanted to drive.
 
Top 10 (At 46 Laps to go):

Crawford
Gaughan
Cook
Chaffin
Edwards
Kvapil
Bickle
Boyd
Hamilton
Woods


This is getting harder to do now because the trucks are no longer going in a straight line. The are now going two and three wide. Berrier got a black flag for going under the yellow line with all four tires and made a pass.
 
Top 10 (At 34 Laps to go):

Crawford
Gaughan
Wallace
Cook
Kvapil
Houston
Edwards
Wood
Hamilton
Pressley

Pitstops are about to start up again.
 
Yellow Flag is out.

Carl Edwards in the 99 truck lost it in the tri-oval. He just missed hitting Bobby Hamilton, but Hamilton scrapped the wall. This happened as pit stops just started. Hamilton does have some damage on the left front side of the truck.


Thats kind of a bummer for the 99 team because they had a very good truck and are also looking for a sponsor for the truck.
 
Yellow Flag back out again.

Chad Chaffin in the 18 truck lost the righ rear tire. No damage to the truck. This is with 12 laps to go.
 
Top 9 (with 8 laps to go):

Crawford
Cook
Gaughan
Wallace
Kvapil
Wood
Setzer
Pressley
 
Yellow Flag out again with 7 laps to go.

Another multi-truck race off of turn 2. Four trucks were involved in this wreck.
 
The race is going back green with 3 laps to go.

Yellow flag is back out with 1 lap to go. Bill Lester lost a tire and took a few trucks out with him including Rich Bickle and the lapped truck of Tina Gordon.

The race will restart with the green-white-checkered flag rule in the Truck series.
 
That was a great ending to the race. They were fighting three wide for the win but Rick Crawford edged out Pressley and Kvapil for the win.

Final Rusults

Crawford
Kvapil
Pressley
Hamilton
Houston
Wallace
Setzer
Wood
Cook

Looks like he went for the block but drifted too high. Crawford got under and down low and that hurt Robert.

Too bad, I was pulling for the #59 but I'm not disappointed with Crawford's win. His crew chief Ray Stonkus is a good guy and I'm happy to see him get a win.

Man that was an awesome race! Once again the best racing in NASCAR belongs to the truck series.

I was told it was kind of a pay back for Ed helping Harvick out in 2001. Ed would practice and qualify the busch car while Harvick was practicing the Cup car when the races were in different places.
 
This picture helps show how close the three top makes finished in what is probably going to be the best race of the weekend. Rick Crawford beat Kvapil to the checkered flags by 0.027-seconds.
